Expert's analysis of Japan's trade action against South Korea
- 5 years ago
And for an expert analysis on the ongoing trade tensions between Seoul and Tokyo,... we have Dr. Graham Ong-Webb, a Research Fellow at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University joining us on the phone today.
Hello there.
Hello.
1- So with the trade restrictions kicking in today, how much of a damage is expected for Korea... considering that Korea is an export-oriented economy that relies heavily on semiconductors and tech goods?
2- Observers say,... Tokyo's trade restrictions do go against WTO principles.
If Korea takes the case to the WTO, how do you expect the process to go?
3- How can Korea fight off the negative impact of the restrictions?
In what ways can South Korea turn the crisis into an opportunity?
4- What do you make of this growing trend of tariff threats and export restrictions in the global economy?
Could we see the Korea-Japan case as another trade war?
That was Doctor Graham Ong-Webb joining us on the phone today.
Thank you so much for your insight today doctor.
