What is the difference between the influence of chaebol in the United States and South Korea?

The difference is that South Korea's economic lifeline is basically controlled by the chaebol, while the United States is not.

South Korea's population is only 50 million, and Samsung accounts for more than 20% of South Korea's total GDP, not to mention LG, Hyundai and these chaebol companies.

In fact, in South Korea, Samsung runs through the lives of Korean people.

There is a popular saying in Korea: three things that Koreans can't escape in their lives: death, taxes and Samsung.

In addition to the well-known consumer electronics field, Samsung has already grown into a huge business empire covering machinery, chemicals, finance and insurance in South Korea.

Although Samsung's mobile phone market share is only 0.8% in China, it still occupies more than 20% in the global market, making it the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world.

In South Korea, Samsung is stronger, and one of the 65,438+000 Koreans is a Samsung employee.

In addition, other enterprises and families related to this are larger.

In addition, Samsung's average annual sales are between 2.6 trillion US dollars and 3 trillion US dollars, accounting for about 1/4 of South Korea's total annual GDP.

It can be said that Samsung is definitely ahead in Korea.

In addition, almost all of South Korea's national defense weapons are handled by the Samsung military.

As for common things such as daily necessities, they are directly related to Samsung Chemistry.

Participation in politics:

Lee Myung-bak and park geun-hye were arrested on suspicion of economic crimes after leaving office, and they were impeached for their close friends' involvement in politics. Now they are also determined to go to jail. They didn't come to a good end, but their unhappy ending just shows that South Korea is not a country played by chaebol.
