    It makes sense, though. Sure, China has a big economy, but what was that economy importing in the past? I would wager it was mostly inputs for manufacturing, which really doesn’t match South Korea. But with a growing middle class, there is more of a domestic market that would fuel imports of things like SK’s top export, electronics.
