The Chinese broadcasting network on January 12 reported that according to sound of “Whole world Chinese Broadcasting network” 12:12 China a report, does move the capital? Doesn’t move the capital? To the South Korean, this is a major problem.

The bill for amendment abolishes in the original plan migrated government “9 2 2 halls” the content comprehensively, “world Zong Shi” the urban localization, selects is taking the science of education as the central economic city. The bill for amendment in fact gave up moving the capital to the plan, world Zong Shi “abandons political commerce”.

In 2002 South Korean former president Roh Moo-Hyun in campaigning, first time proposed moves the capital to the conception, he suggested that south of South Korean capital Seoul about 150 kilometers place newly-built administration capital, eased Seoul development pressure, drew the central economy, changed the regional development imbalanced aspect.

In December, 2003, South Korean Congress decided to move the capital through the special law. In the August, 2004 South Korea government announced that the new administrative capital will be located in Yeongi County and Gongzhou Chungcheongnam-do.

In 2007 starts to begin construction, according to moving the capital to the plan, South Korean major country Institution and legislature will move to the new administrative capital from 2010 to 2014.

On December 21, 2006 South Korean premier Han Mingshu held the conference, determined that the South Korean new administration capital was called “world ancestor”, the world world, the religious ancestor, the meaning which “world ancestor” two characters gathered in Korean is “world”.

To the common people, moves is the important matter, much less a country’s administrative capital? Why did the South Korean government initially insist on to move the capital? Why now also suddenly announces revision plan? Moves the capital does not move, national affairs how could back and forth relapse? Segment China Radio International in Seoul Reporter Zhang Ling, an inquisition unexpectedly.

Directors: The South Korean government in announcement bill for amendment does time, have the explanation, why changes the mind, no longer moved the capital?

Reporter: South Korean premier Zheng Yuncan on 11th the national direct seeding’s press conference was saying to at that the bill for amendment is revising the predecessor government to make the decision the wrong part, will be to let world Zong Shi has the more glorious and bright future. Zheng Yuncan explicitly said that the government decision before moved the administrative capital Zong Shi is took in the past the political objective as the leading decision, regarding the incumbent leaders of the government, revises such decision to need to pay very big courage.

It is reported that President of South Korea Li Mingbo on 12th, is later today, will meet with the South Korean main regional leader, to seek them to bill for amendment support. In addition Li Mingbo also possibly holds the press conference this week on the world ancestor city question or is issues the news to announce that and picks a lucky day to go to construct world Zong Shi to inspect.

Directors: As a person to make the city, after losing the administrative capital’s status, “world Zong will Shi” be also attractive? Nobody was worried that it will turn into a dead city?

Reporter: Bill for amendment which announced according to Zheng Yuncan, although abolished in the beforehand decision migration authority 9 2 2 hall contents, then constructed into to take world Zong Shi the science of education as the central economic city, specifically speaking, i.e., the South Korean government plans before 2020, constructed into one to have world Zong Shi has the frontier science to study the base, the state-of-art green industry, the first-class university and attracted the global investment the new green city, the population size approximately is 500,000, may create 250,000 operating posts. Grasped the most recent news according to us at present, South Korean Samsung Group will invest 2.05 trillion wons to world Zong Shi, is approximately equal to 2 billion US dollars, constructs new solar cell production base, LED television production base, as well as with biotechnology related base. In addition, South Korean Famous School, if the South Korean science and technology courtyard and South Korean University separately will also invest 600 billion wons and 770 billion wons is alive the ancestor city to set up the graduate school and research institute.

Directors: When moves the capital to the plan is on a president Roh Moo-Hyun in office raises, now arrives at the revision in the new president Li Mingbo’s management next time, in fact was implemented “euthanasia”. Migrates capital such important matter, elephant plays the game to revise equally repeatedly, has meets the opposition the sound?

Reporter: Including Democratic Party and free advanced party incumbent party, violates the commitment revision world Zong Shi construction plan to express the intense opposition to the government. Is the ruling Grand National Party also has the different opinion, therefore estimated that this bill for amendment will face very major difficulty in Congress’s vetting process. In addition this bill for amendment also encounters the strong opposition which of Chungcheongnam-do populace world Zong Shi is.

If reviews to move the capital to the question statement, its background is quite complex, undergoes these many year intense arguments, moves the capital to the plan to change changes again, responded South Korean social being some questions. Abandons other reasons not to discuss that moved the capital to the question the contradiction accurately to reflect among political gambling South Korean Political parties actually. Roh Moo-Hyun announced candidacy when 2002, he at that time the competition was very intense, proposed that moved the capital to the plan to win voter in the middle area for him, then to win the election played the crucial role. Also may say that moved the capital to plan earliest statement to win the presidential election service, it also lacked the effective proof and investigation to this plan concrete some details and feasibility. Therefore Li Mingbo won election after 2008, South Korean Government and people Political party realized has taken turn, his present’s incumbent party Grand National Party makes the revision to this plan also in reasonable.
