National Economic Projects: Democratic Party vs. Conservative Parties
Every piece of national infrastructure that the Democratic Party vehemently opposed ended up being a success.
Gyeongbu Expressway, Pohang Iron and Steel (POSCO), KAIST, Incheon Airport, KTX, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Civil Service Pension reform, etc.
Are there any national projects that the Democratic Party successfully implemented after the Conservatives vehemently opposed them?
Kaesong Industrial Complex, Mooncare, solar power, local currency—they all failed miserably.
Even the high-speed communication network: back in 1993–1994, Kim Young-sam's civilian government established the 'Basic Plan for the Construction of High-Speed Information and Communication Networks' with a long-term goal of completion by 2015, and created the Ministry of Information and Communication to lay the foundation for the infrastructure. Kim Dae-jung was the one who executed it.[100 Major Events_033] Establishment of the Basic Plan for the Construction of High-Speed Information and Communication Networks <April 1994> Window to the Future - Electronic TimesWindow to the Future - Electronic Times
