SK has sadly managed to turn itself into a stench in the nostrils of many Chinese simply by its own stupid hubris and arrogant antics towards China and ordinary Chinese citizens.
trying to steal many aspects of Chinese cultural heritage and traditions as its own, activating the Tha'ad ABM system despite a previous promise not to do so, and the recent discrimination against Chinese tourists just to cite a few examples.
SK could have stayed neutral between US and China but it has chosen to antagonize China, unnecessarily so imho.
so on one hand my rational mind says that China should not destroy the ship-building industry of SK to maintain healthy competition, because total domination would surely breed complacency, corruption, and eventual decline. OTOH, a weakened unfriendly SK as a US vassal would actually be a good thing when the Taiwan show down happens.
perhaps once the above is established in Beijing as a strategic direction to take, then we will see auto industry and then electronic industry decimated in SK in the not soo distant future.
