    Two Accidental Teenage Deaths Should be De-linked from Anti-Americanism

    The accidental deaths of two junior high school students were undeniably tragic and deplorable. The Korean business community is concerned, however, that this unfortunate incident is now leading to disproportionate and unjustified anti-US sentiments among our populace. It is certain that the current wave of anti-US demonstrations, if prolonged, will inflict serious damage on the economy. The business community believes that the Korean people will sensibly distinguish the issue of SOFA improvements from the importance of maintaining the time-tested Korea-US friendship. Taken to heart should be the following points:

    Firstly, the US remains a major export market for us. Koreas exports to US amounted to US$31.2 billion in 2001, accounting for 20.7% of all exports, while imports from US were US$22.3 billion (15.9% of all imports) leading to a trade surplus of US$8.9 billion. Should the spread of anti-US sentiments result in a boycott of Korean-made goods in the US market, we should question what other markets would be able to make up for it. The Korean economy, so much dependent upon exports, will not benefit from the spread of the anti-US demonstrations that go beyond SOFA amendments to call for US militarys pullout and general hatred of US.

    Secondly, if the current mood persists, foreign investments may very well decline. Koreas image, buoyed by 2002 World Cup games, will suffer as a result of heightened anti-US sentiments. This might deter foreign investors, including US investors in particular, from investing in Korea. It is noteworthy that out of the US$6.7 billion foreign investments made this year until August, 60.2% (or, US$ 4 billion) originated from the US. Should US companies retreat from Korea, it would bring a substantial disruption to the Korean economy and ultimately it will be the Korean people who will suffer as a result.

    Thirdly, it may have a negative impact on the labor market. Decline in the export market and foreign investment will directly damage employment. If Koreans handle the current situation emotionally, it will not only be harmful to Koreas image of a more open and global economy, but it will also increase unemployment, resulting in additional hardship to the daily lives of the ordinary people.

    Fourthly, the American military may well withdraw from Korea. Along with the North Korean Nuclear issues, the Korean people may have to pay for the burden, surely followed by a negative impact on the Korean economy. Further, without the U.S. military presence, it will be impossible for the presidential candidates to keep their elections pledges of reducing the current term of military duty by 2~4 months.

    Lastly, let us not forget the fidelity of our friends during the Korean War. To protect democracy and a free market economy, thousands of young Americans shed their blood during the national crisis. For these young lives not to be lost in vain, Korea and the United States should maintain and strengthen their bond of friendship and cooperation. Mislabeling the Korean allies as adversaries could lead to tragic and devastating consequences.

    For these reasons, the Korean business community believes that the nation will be prudent and patient as it follows the governments initiative on SOFA, that the justifiable pursuit of improving SOFA will not spread to excessive emotionalism in calling for the withdrawal of American troops and a strengthening of the anti-U.S. movement.
