China s Economic Development and a Modern Application of Jang Bogo Model

In the era when Commissioner Jang Bogo(?～846)acted, the most important market in Northeast Asia was Mainland China. At that time China carried out an open-door policy and thus there were not a few foreigners residence all over China s coast areas. Shillabang, the ancient Korean Town in China was one of them. The situation of current China is very similar to the era of Jang Bogo. After carrying out the open-door policy, the Chinese economy has kept a rapid growth. As a result, its size held the sixth rank all over the world in 2003. Surprisingly, China surpassed Japan in foreign trade turnover in 2004. Such a rapid rising of the Chinese economy is taken in as a century shock. Moreover the foremost institutions all over the world including the World Bank have a prospect that China s economy will continue to record high growth rates until 2020. China strive for the Pax Sinica in the 21st century by which is substituted the Pax Americana. From the ground of the Korean economy whose dependency on China, there is no more important thing than the economic cooperation between two countries. 1200 years ago Commissioner Jang Bogo s approach to China s market was a manifestation of his openness and enterprising spirit. His approach to China s market was, in a modernized sense, to build a Northeast Asian business belt for a localization of multinational enterprise and a networking of logistics by his eminent spirit and ability of chief executive officer(CEO). The international trade business network among ancient Korea, China and Japan built by Jang Bogo was based on his own wisdom and strategic idea to get together natural, geographical and cultural conditions. Today, the revival and application of such a Jang Bogo model is an optimal way for the Korean economy to go with China s rapid economic development.
