South Korea's semiconductor strategy

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Yuyun Zhan sits down
with Alicia García-Herrero and June Park to talk about South
Korea’s semiconductor industry, specifically how geopolitical
tensions like China’s localisation needs and US export controls
could impact the sector. They also discuss South Korea’s economic
relations with both of those countries and how they are affected
by the semiconductor industry. They discuss if Europe can become
an optimal destination for South Korean chipmakers’
diversification strategy, whether the bloc can keep up with the
pace of technological innovation and if it can compete with
regions like the US and Japan.
