According to Zhongxin.com and other reports, on September 11th, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung ushered in his 100th day of inauguration. On the same day, he held a press conference for his 100-day inauguration in Cheongwadae to clarify the future direction of the government's administration. Among them, Lee Jae-myung expressed dissatisfaction with the recent raid and arrest of more than 300 Korean citizens by the United States, saying that the incident would cause Korean companies to "hesitate" when investing in the United States.

Economic recovery is urgent.

Li held his second press conference on May 11 in a hundred days since taking office.Unlike the first press conference, this conference involved more specific policies and covered many topics such as economy, diplomacy.

Li Zaiming said that the past 100 days have been a period of repairing people's livelihood economy and restoring normal diplomacy. Among them, restoring people's livelihood economy is a top priority, and the government has taken urgent measures to boost domestic demand. At present, various economic indicators have rebounded. The Korea Composite Stock Index (KOSPI) broke through 3,300 points on the 10th, and the stock market showed a recovery momentum.

It is reported that on the first day of taking office, Li Zaiming's government called for the establishment of an "emergency economic inspection working group", and then promoted the issuance of consumer coupons and the preparation of supplementary budgets to improve people's livelihood.

Li Zaiming also said that the remaining four years and nine months of his term of office will be a period of "leap and development". He promised to build a society with a solid foundation and promote the political situation of unity between the ruling and opposition parties.

Around the concerns of the outside world about the "big shareholder standard of equity transfer income tax", Li said that the issue will be handed over to Congress to discuss and introduce a policy aimed at boosting the stock market.July 31, the South Korean government proposed to lower the criteria for large shareholders to pay capital gain tax from the current 5 billion yuan to 1 billion yuan, raising public discontent.

In addition, for the failure of the DPRK to agree on the amendment of the "Special Inspection Law on Civil War", Li said that coordinated governance is the acceptance of reasonable requirements, not compromise to seek reconciliation, and to find out that the truth of the internal unrest is not a compromisable part.

According to some analysts, the rapid pace of Li's reform in the early years of power, how to minimize the side effects that follow, and prevent conflicts and intense conflicts within the government and the ruling party, is considered an important issue.

Rare dissatisfaction with the United States

On the diplomatic front, Lee Jae-myung is also facing a complicated situation. With the "arrest of people" incident casting a shadow over South Korea-US relations, how Lee Jae-myung responded has aroused concern.

Recently, U.S. law enforcement officers carried out surprise law enforcement in Georgia against South Korea's Hyundai Motor-LG New Energy Cooperative Battery Factory and related contractors, arresting 475 workers on suspicion of "illegal residence", more than 300 of whom were Korean citizens.

In this regard, Lee Jae-myung rarely expressed dissatisfaction with the US side on the 11th, calling it "quite sudden". This is in sharp contrast to the atmosphere of "hot chat" between the presidents of the United States and South Korea during Lee Jae-myung's visit to the United States last month.

Lee Jae-myung said that this incident will inevitably lead Korean companies to be "very hesitant" when investing in the United States, and companies will worry that setting up factories in the United States may be adversely affected or become more difficult.

He also said that "cultural differences appear to exist between the Koreans and the United States," and that there are many Americans in South Korea who have a tourist visa to teach English in class, and Koreans feel nothing, but in the United States this has become a problem.

He also said that he was in talks with the U.S. to demand the normal issuance of visas related to U.S. investments, or to fight for additional quotas, or even to create new categories of visas.

It is that South Korean citizens arrested in the United States have been released and will return to South Korea at noon on 11 AM. The United States insists on wearing gloves when escorting in its territory, but the South has resolutely opposed, causing the original trip to be postponed.

There are South Korean political parties that say that South Korea sent to the United States "investment package" but was "bite the back of the knife", this can be called "humiliation".

Admit that there is no progress in inter-Korean relations

Li said on Monday that although the North¡¯s reaction was cold and the relations with the DPRK had not yet made progress, the government will continue to work to promote the resumption of the dialogue.

Since taking office, Lee Jae-myung's government has actively taken a series of measures, such as restricting the distribution of leaflets and dismantling loudspeakers to the DPRK, to send a signal to the DPRK to ease tensions. However, the DPRK reacted coldly to this, reiterating that "South Korea cannot become a diplomatic object".

In this regard, Lee Jae-myung admits that it is a foolish idea to expect the DPRK to change its attitude soon because of several measures to ease tension. But no matter what attitude the DPRK holds, easing tensions is beneficial to South Korea.

He also said that the Korean-Korean relationship issue cannot be solved solely by the South Korean forces, and North Korea believes that the United States is the biggest factor that threatens its security, so that promoting the Korean-American dialogue will be conducive to the realization of peace and stability on the peninsula, and the South Korean side is willing to play the role of promoting and supporting.

Analysts believe that given that South Korea has invited the US leader to attend the informal meeting of the leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization (APEC) to be held in South Korea in October, the meeting is expected to be an important opportunity to conduct diplomacy at the summit.
