the mean of opening to kyoungui rail-line - Kyunghyo Lee

From Tokyo to London, The Iron silk road which can cross the Eurasia continent by connecting rail lines will be opened soon in the future. Connecting those countries by a rail line means that there will be a huge social change and influences. Especially, South and North Korea which were separated because of the war in 1950 for 50 years, can be extremely influenced at a politic side.The dispersed families may be expecting the meeting with their lost family due to opening of Iron silk road. To release it, "Gyeong Ui■East sea line connecting construction" must be the most important point. Because of its role on filling 23km long blank of the entire rail line. I think that is Why world issue of it. If Gyeong Ui rail line be connected, we can get pretty good economical benefits. Decrease of transportation cost can be an example. Also It can break the wall of economy between North■South Korea. I think people in South Korea don't really like attitude of Northern government and the action of helping North Korea by supporting several goods. And there are some opposite opinions against the rail line construction because of the possibility of unification. If they unified, Maybe Southern people will have to pay their money to save Northern economy. It is expected that the cost for the economical unification will be very huge. I think those are the reason why Southern people think like that. Considering efficiency of time and using frequency, I wonder If Gyeong Ui rail line would bring enough worth as much as investment of construction or not. It can also bring military tension because of the safety of people who take the train. And there are some arguments about huge cost for the construction and location of rail line that is being discussed by China and Russia's concerns. I think they should concede each other and supply resources and fund which are needed for the construction, And North Korea also. If they respond like before, It must be difficult to develop their industry and to entice international fund investment. It is necessary that two Koreas and all countries related to the construction should maintain wise attitude and cope the argument carefully to make their dream come true.

About Energy - Yoogee Choi

Recently, many countries are making efforts to search for energy resources.That's because energy resources are limited while demand for energy is constantly increasing. In turn, oil, gas and mineral prices are getting higher and higher.Among many countries, China is considered as the country doing its best to develop energy resources.For example, China has developed an oil field by constantly exploring Africa.These days, my country shows a little more progress in developing oil, and resources.Finally, we found huge oil fields by visiting Nigeria, Algeria and so on.These achievements result from present energy resource diplomacy.However, exploiting and preserving energy resources requires more attention and efforts than now.Firstly, Try to do more active diplomacy for exploiting oil fields.Secondly, Support a company related to the energy industry abroad.Thirdly, Try to develop alternative energy.We should put all our energy into searching for energy resources with resonable diplomacy and policy.

Koreans use energy like 'water'. A study of annual consumption of petroleum per head shows it clearly. The consumption of U.K is 1.32 ton. France recorded 1.49 ton, Japan recorded 2.0 ton and the record of Korea is 2.14 ton. But the natural resources in Korea are so sacred. That means Koreans must import most of fuels they use such as petroleum, coal, uranium for nuclear energy generation. Koreans can't depend on foreign natural resources forever. So Koreans need special energy plan which is different from what they did so far. Use natural energy. First, western sea of korea is famous for its range of tide. The everage is 4m and in some places, the ranges of tide are up to 7m. It means the tide can make energy and tidal energy generation is fit for korean geography. Second, in korea the rate of mountain to field is 7:3. It means difference of elevation can be used in generation. A pump lift up water to dam which is on the top of a mountain and drop the water to coulee. So the energy of position makes turbins spin and generate electricity. These two plans are only a part of the energy plans. There are so many plans and people seek to better plans. However the most important thing is this; it is important to plan energy plans but plans without saving are meaningless.

Before analyging effects of chinese economic growth and trade increase on Korea economy, I just passed up. Furthermore, I would read the papers I skipped articles about economy. Because it was very boring. So I often read articles about international situation or sports.But through this opportunity I know effects of chinese economic growth and trade increase on Korea economy. And now I concerned about economic problems such as revaluation of yuan, FTA and so on. So I have my personal opinion about FTA that I didn't know well. But above all this I realized if we don't cope with this infinitely competitive world that is changing so fast. Korea economy will be in danger. Furthermore, I hope our nation solves economic problems we are discussing properly and easily.

Economic development of china and trade increasing - Yi Kyu-sun

While I was doing this project, I was feel like I was an economist. As a highschool student, I always thought that 'economy' is too hard to understand. So this reporting activity was very difficult. Today chinese products are excellent because of inexpensive price and development of technology. In many industry part, China follow other advanced country's technique at a horrible fast. If the quality of product is same, everyone will use chinese product, probably. We have to change our existing attitude and position to cope with fast-growth of china. We have to concentrate our ability on competitive electron industrial semiconductor, mobile phone, electric home appliance, automobile, IT, BT, CT. Not only improvement of quality of product but also high grade of product is essential. Moreover, design and marketing which consider people's inclination are important. We can induce export of Korean product based on Han-ryu syndrome - such as Dae jang-gum induced sales of korean rice cooker. Also we have to prove that 'Something Korean is best in the world'.

About FTA - Nari Song

Nowadays, korea gets crazy about Worldcup with that, there is also another social issues. That is FTA which mass media mentions almost everyday.FTA is an agreement that gets rid of an unequal trade for trading national goods equally. Now the government president Lo has the look back it FTA with US gets so fast. It is almost depended on us although the agreement has be negotiated between two countries farely. Lots of people disagree with FTA. Our government hasn't studied carefully about how this will affect our economy. We already experienced the fall of grape's farms that FTA is connected with Chile. But the solution to that is just farmers some support money. Our Korean government is just going to continue this government. In agriculture, harm will show up but in other categolies, we can have lots of benefits. However, do we Koreans have better ability than Americans!Not a lot. This agreement is surely unprofitable for us. The negotiation in a hurry can lead to social issues FTA with USA is not going to be solved in short terms. We want work careful attitude toward this agreement.

Today, world is depend on oil, more and more. However, resources are limited and amount used have to make our efforts to reduce oil demand.But the World Governments ignore about that, and bring bad influences. The example of these bad influences. First of all, various energy prices are increasing. Electricity, gas and district heating prices are increase. Not only oil cost but also natural resources prices are in creased. Next, alternative medicine problem : coal. Coals are deposited, all around the world. However, it is dirtier than oil. So, if we use it as alternative medicine, it will bring a serious environment problem like air pollution, weather problem, and so on. And, a rate of growth problem of the Middle East. The Middle East that an oil-producing nation shows the fastest speed that the rate of oil demand. It means that rate of economic growth is the fastest. And these nation's economic growth block up a fall in oil price. Finally, how to use oil and alternative medicine efficiently is the most important point. If we don't do that, we will lose everything that we had made.

About FTA - Eunna Kim

FTA means that abolishes a trade barrier between two nations as simplified of 'Free Trade Agreement'. So it brings tremendous influence when two nations that have the deep difference in economy conclude it. Now we are talking with USA, but we concluded an FTA agreement with Chile already. In that time many happenings appeared. And in an agreement with USA more happenings will appear. We can know that a case of Mexico. In the other hand we should conclude FTA. By the time Globalization is coming more fast, we shouldn't be a global bullying. The matter is not making conversation but the way conversation. Looking at attitude of goverment, it seems to be so fast. In fact, USA wants it more than us. So we don't need to hurry. We can claim more needs in the conversation because we have a break. A conversation with USA is going to so fast and insufficient compared to Japan. I can't understand why the government can't get enough good matter though they have many advantages. It seems to be a sense of a big power. But government should finish a sense of a big power and advance a conversation to the profitable concludes, having a break. People and private organizations should also help the government make a good conversation.

From now on, I deliver speech concerning relation energy to economy. If the supply of il stop right now, transportations such as a vehicle will be useless, a factory will not work, a clthes will not make, and even heating will be impossible. These show that oil is connected with our life very colsely. Unfortunately almost area buriod iol in the world close up together in the Middle East. So other countries satify their needs by importing from them. Nowaday the rest energy cost is raised all in rows, because of a rapid increase of oil cost. So common people pay beyond average. Now the world have to pay attention to importance of energy resources. The world compete with each other for possession of resources. The holding energy grade is just a power of state economy. But we that depending on as 97% as overseas use energy wastefully. The strongest county 'America's oil deposit are high though, they import from Middle East, It is likely to sell expensive cost when the Middle East's oil run out. We should prepare a policy to have sufficient a power of state economy in near future by investing in overseas development and competing. Also we make an effort to develop alternative medicine. Recently we should respond timely to sudden attach of world energy flow and are necessary a great answer to consider both enviroment and economy.

the mean of opening to Kyoungui rail-line - Soonhyoung Jung

Seaching for the Kyoungui rail-line, I think again the situation that the Korea Peninsula is separated during the sixty years. As you see the data before, Kyoungui rail-line will connect the South and the North Korea through rebuilding the rail-line in a demilitarized zone area which has cut since the Korean War. If Kyoungui rail-line is opened, it will benefit to economic of the south and the North Korea and it is going to be an opportunity that the Northeast-Asia grow to a strong power country including that Japan, Russia, and China. Also, opening Kyoungui rail-line is the start to the Silk-Road connecting the eurasion continent to the one. But there is several problem. One is confidence and cooperation between the South and the North Korea, the other is excessive cost. especially, many tax will be used to opening Kyoungui rail-line. Before a few day, the North Korea braked the situation. So Kyoungui rail-line faces a problem. Opening Kyoungui rail-line has importance in making military tension between the South and the North Korea relaxed rather than bringing several economical effect. Also putting trust in the North Korea is neccessary to lead the peace unification and it is essential to make a countermeasure to solve the financial problem. Opoening Kyoungui rail-line will make dream come true the crossing the eurasion continent. Therefore first, we try to have the consciousness change about the North Korea.
