Snippet:
South Korea is asking Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to shoulder three national burdens: win the global semiconductor race, sustain the country’s export economy and revitalize regions left behind by decades of industrial concentration. That may prove visionary industrial policy. It may also place excessive weight on companies that already serve as Korea’s most important economic engine.
