...have much wider impact. The mainland is one of the world's largest manufacturing bases and is now its fourth largest trading nation. Last year, China accounted for approximately 70% of Japan's total export growth, 40% of South Korea's and 90% of Taiwan's, according to Morgan Stanley...
...long before foreign consumers are forced to cover the increased cost of raw materials-meaning higher prices for exported refrigerators, DVD players and a wide range of other products.

That changed with the '97 crisis, which caused the breakup of Hyundai Group and others and fostered an anti-chaebol backlash. Business life today in South Korea is marked by a steady stream of special investigations into chaebol-related bribery, stock manipulation, illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and fraud. Chey Tae Won, nephew of the founder of SK Group, was jailed last year for accounting and stock fraud. Chung Mong...
