Kim Dae Jung Comes Up Short kim dae jung Comes Up Short By John Larkin/SEOUL Far East EconomicReview Issue coverdated May 24, 2001. The president was seen http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/kim_dae_jung_comes_up_short.htm
Extractions: Issue cover-dated May 24, 2001 The president was seen as a harbinger of change when he finally came to power in 1997. But disillusioned voters, who expected democratic advances and a remodelled economy, are showing their displeasure AS POLITICAL STATEMENTS GO , this one got to its point faster than most: Zip-lock bags of human excrement mailed to MPs recently by long-suffering voters summed up their sense of betrayal with all South Korean politicians. But President Kim Dae Jung is getting most of the blame. He promised in 1997 that the country's democracy would be burnished and its shattered economy remodelled, but voters see next to no change. They are making their displeasure felt as well as smelt. President Kim's popularity ratings have dived below 30%, to the surprise of an international community that still reveres him. He's seen as a lame duck leader 19 months from a presidential election he is barred from contesting under a constitution that allows only one term. His party was thrashed in local by-elections in late April. His support-base of students and blue-collar workers are furious at job cuts. The economy is in a tailspin, exposing his patchy record on reform. Major parties bicker endlessly, instead of trying for compromise.
Extractions: March 9, 2001 South Korean President Kim Dae Jung is being squeezed, trapped between pressures from Russia and China on one side and from the United States on the other. As a result, his "sunshine policy" with North Korea may be imperiled. When Vladimir Putin visited Seoul in late February, the Russian president urged Kim to sign a joint communique opposing U.S. national missile defense (NMD). Kim resisted, but did agree to sign a communique supporting the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) and Strategic Arms Reduction (START II) Treaties. The communique's key provision reads as follows: "The Russian Federation and the Republic of Korea agreed that the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty is the cornerstone of strategic stability and an important foundation of international efforts on nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation. Both sides expressed their hope that the START II Treaty will enter into force as soon as possible and that as soon as possible after that, the START III Treaty will be signed and the ABM Treaty will be preserved and strengthened." Media reports from South Korea suggest reasons for President Kim's decision to cast doubt on the wisdom of NMD. Kim fears that NMD would inject a disruptive issue into his sunshine policy's engagement with Pyongyang. His northern counterpart, Kim Jong Il, strongly opposes NMD and sees it as directed against North Korea. Supporting NMD would tie the South tightly to the United States, prove financially burdensome should Seoul decide to join the program, and retard progress towards eliminating North Korea's missile program. Perhaps as important a motive, both Russia and China have aided Kim in promoting his policy's engagement with Pyongyang, and he does not want to endanger that support. Kim has staked his presidency on creating the process for eventual Korean unification.
Extractions: hostName = '.blogs.com'; Main Just a quick post, because I'm in no condition at all today to do much blogging. Firstly, the Hankyoreh ran an interview with former President Kim Dae-jung that I really will try to fisk either today or tomorrow. The problem with these kinds of fiskings, however, is that for blogging purposes, I've got to translate the thing into English first, which, as I'm sure you can imagine, is a real pain in the ass. Actually, it's not that big of a pain in the ass, and there's a possibility I might be doing it for a living pretty soon, but it does take time, especially with an interview the length of Kim's. Add a fisking to it, and it's a major project. Anyway, back to the point - which is the interview itself - I almost got excited about it, both from the Hani's introduction and the Oranckay's brief note concerning it. As the Oranckay writes

Extractions: Biographical Note Kim Dae Jung was born on January 6, 1924, son of a middle class farming family in Hayi-do, Korea. After graduating from high school in 1943, he took a position working in a Japanese owned business. Kim took over the business in 1945, and quickly became a rich and respected member of the Korean business community. When the Korean War broke out Kim was captured by the Communists and sentenced to death, but he was able to escape. In 1954, he entered politics, opposing the policies of South Korean President Syngman Rhee. In 1961, in his fifth try for elected office, Kim won a seat in the National Assembly and served on the Finance Committee. His victory and tenure in the legislature did not last long. Shortly after the 1961 election, Park Chung Hee seized power in a coup and dissolved the legislature. Kim quickly assumed a public position in opposition to President Park. Over the next decade he became widely recognized as one of his country's leading orators and a charismatic leader of the political opposition. In 1970, Kim was chosen as President of the Korean Democratic Party. In 1971, he ran in the national presidential elections. He lost the election to President Park, but won more than 46% of the vote. Following his electoral defeat Kim became an outspoken critic of the Park regime and it's repressive policies. In 1973, agents of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency kidnaped Kim from his hotel room in Tokyo, Japan and smuggled him back to South Korea. Japanese - Korean relations were severely strained by the kidnapping of Korea's most prominent opposition leader. On his forced return to Korea Kim was jailed for three days then placed under house arrest.

Feedback by Walden Bello* March 2001 The future of President Kim Dae Jungs Sunshine Policythe most promising opportunity in years to melt the glacial structures of the Cold War in Northeast Asiais now in question. Withdrawal Syndrome Fundamental Flaw The South Korean leader has the choice of freezing the process and pleasing the Americans or going forward and risking not only non-cooperation but possibly even Washington-supported destabilization. This dilemma highlights the fundamental flaw of the policy: that it has been for the most part a highly controlled, personality-driven process where most of South Korean society was relegated to the sidelines, with little function but to applaud. Not surprisingly, most Koreans, while obviously cheered by the reconciliation process, felt detached from it, feeling no personal responsibility for its success or failure. This personal distance from the process was driven home to me while discussing future economic strategies for Korea with progressive Korean economists. Even when taking the long view, none of them brought the integration of the North Korean market into their calculations. For all intents and purposes, a unified Korea remains a distant dream, and the lack of significant domestic protest against Washingtons recalcitrance is the most damning proof of this.

Extractions: photo: Edwin Tuyay for Asiaweek By all accounts, South Korea has overcome the financial crisis. GDP growth ran at a whopping 12.3% and exports 25.3%, year on year, in 1999's third quarter. Industrial production soared 30.6%, year on year, in October. If economic performance is any indication, President Kim Dae Jung has every reason to believe that his ruling coalition will clinch an easy victory in the country's April parliamentary elections. But Kim is in for a tough electoral battle - voters are disillusioned with his government. In an effort to win seats, Kim is pork-barrel spending, which could blow a hole in the budget and increase inflationary pressure at a time when there is a growing risk that the economy will overheat. Moreover, if too many opposition and independent candidates win election, Kim's economic reforms will suffer.

The Visit Of South Korean President Kim Dae Jung News Foreign Press Center Briefing Transcript The Visit of South Korean Presidentkim dae jung. A Senior State Department Official Thursday, July 1, 1999. SR. http://www.fas.org/news/dprk/1999/broth699.htm
Extractions: SR. STATE DEPT OFFICIAL: Good morning. Thank you, Charles. As you know, President Kim Dae Jung is coming tomorrow for a visit that I would characterize as short but sweet. The two presidents have a very good, close relationship. Having participated in the previous meetings between them, I have every expectation that this meeting will be of a similar suit and will just further extend their personal friendship as well as their extraordinarily close working relationship. In terms of the schedule itself, it's quite straightforward. They'll begin with a lunch, and then there will be a smaller meeting immediately thereafter. In terms of the focus of the trip, I would say that I would expect there to be three broad areas of discussion. That's not to say that this is a strictly limited agenda, but conceptually, obviously, a very large part of the discussion will focus on events in North Korea and how we work on a variety of North Korean issues, pursue the various negotiations that are under way, as well as simply sharing assessment of the situation on the Korean peninsula, particularly in the North, between them. A second section, I think, would relate to the economy of South Korea and the particularly the president is looking forward to hearing Kim Dae Jung's assessment of the economic recovery that appears to be well under way in the Republic of Korea. One of the big success stories this year is that Korea seems to be leading the pack in emerging from the crisis. But at the same time President Kim has also made it very clear that he feels there are additional steps that need to be taken structurally in order to solidify and strengthen Korea's reforms, and I'm sure President Clinton will be interested in hearing about that. So the second piece is economic.

Extractions: President Kim Dae-jung was born on December 3, 1925 in a small village on an island of South Korea's southwestern coast. He graduated from a commercial high school in 1943. When the Syngman Rhee Administration (1948-1960) began to become increasingly dictatorial, he decided to enter politics. His political career proved to be rather turbulent from the start. He was elected to the National Assembly in a bi-election in 1961 after two unsuccessful bids, but, within three days of his election, the National Assembly was dissolved following a military coup d'etat led by Major General Park Chung Hee. When he was elected again to the National Assembly in 1963, he began to emerge as a junior leader within his own party. He served as the spokesman for the Democratic Party in 1965 and became the chairman of the party's Policy Planning Committee the following year. As President Park Chung Hee sought constitutional revisions in 1969 to allow himself to run for a third term, Kim Dae-jung gave an address against the scheme in an outdoor rally, and he was widely acclaimed for his vision and courage. He was chosen the presidential candidate of the New Democratic Party in 1971, running against the all-powerful incumbent, Park Chung Hee. Despite the obstructionist tactics and illegal electioneering practices of the ruling party, he garnered over 46 per cent of the votes cast. During the Assembly election campaign that soon followed the presidential vote, opposition leader Kim experienced what was to be the first of at least five attempts on his life by his political foes. A heavy-load truck rammed into his car, seriously injuring him and his two aides. President Kim still suffers from the leg injury.
