Today
(December 7) afternoon, local time, the South Korean National Assembly will
hold a plenary meeting to vote on the impeachment case initiated against
President Yoon Seok-yeol.
Yoon
Seok-yeol announced the implementation of an emergency martial law order on the
evening of December 3, but under the pressure of multiple parties such as the
resolution to lift martial law voted by the National Assembly in the early
morning of the 4th, Yoon Seok-yeol was forced to withdraw his order. The entire
martial law farce lasted only six hours.
With the advancement of a series of games such as the impeachment case, the rift between the two camps in South Korea has become prominent, and this is only a microcosm of the world entering the rift between the two camps. Its butterfly effect is not unrelated to the fate of ordinary people.
For
many years, the two major camps of South Korea, the left and the right, have
fought but not broken, maintaining a certain balance. But as the situation
changes, after the right-leaning Yoon Seok-yeol came to power in 2022, he
withstood internal pressure and unilaterally strengthened the trilateral
alliance of the United States, Japan and South Korea, without repairing the
previously damaged relationship between South Korea and China, and the
relationship between South Korea and North Korea deteriorated.
The Congress is controlled by the left-leaning opposition party, which advocates improving relations with China and North Korea. The ruling party has little power in Congress, while the opposition party has great power in Congress. The boycotts continue, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled, which eventually led to Yoon Seok-yeol's desperate defeat.
The
six-hour martial law farce is a major wound in the tearing of South Korean
politics, and it is also a microcosm of the tearing of the world pattern.
From
Trump's successful election in 2016, his failure to be re-elected in 2020, and
his comeback last month, the United States has been deeply trapped in the
confrontation and struggle between two values, two routes, and two major
interest groups, while the right wing in many European countries has risen and
is inseparable from the left wing.
The United States has also led many countries to form a large camp to engage in strategic competition with another large camp, making it increasingly difficult for developing countries and southern countries to balance their positions and choose their teams.
South
Korea has been in economic recession in recent years, and its heavy industry is
being overtaken by China, but South Korea is still an important supplier of global
technology products. For example, Nvidia's most advanced semiconductors mainly
use SK Hynix's high-frequency memory chips.
Although
the authoritarian rule during Park Chung-hee's time laid the foundation for
South Korea's economic strength, after the democratic transition in 1987, civil
society became more vibrant, which led to the long-term vigorous development of
the science and technology industry and a certain influence on the output of
popular culture.
Today, internal contradictions in South Korea have intensified, but the reasons for taking emergency martial law are difficult to convince the public, and the means are not recognized by mainstream public opinion. It is not feasible to return to the authoritarian era, but it has concentratedly exposed the rift between the two major camps in South Korea and the international camp, and this contradiction must be faced.
The
Korean national flag is called the Taegeukgi, which evolved from the Taijitu,
an identification symbol of ancient Chinese Taoism. The Taijitu, also known as
the Yin-Yang fish, embodies the unity of opposites and the complementary
coexistence of contradictions.
Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: "All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the middle qi is for harmony." Contradictions exist because of each other's existence and develop together in competition. Eliminating opponents will only form new opponents, and they cannot be killed.
The
world is diverse and civilizations are diverse. There are both common universal
values and
individualities of different subjects. We should seek common ground while
reserving differences.
Traditional
Chinese medicine does not kill bacteria, but focuses on the balance of
bacterial flora, and builds harmony between body and mind through conditioning.
The focus of Go is not "capturing pieces" like chess, but striving to
encircle more territory and focus on overall balance and harmony.
From these ancient wisdoms, we can gain reflection on the wrong path of
camp division and life-and-death struggle.
当地时间今天（12月7日）下午，韩国国会将召开全体会议，就针对总统尹锡悦发起的弹劾案进行表决。尹锡悦于12月3日晚宣布实施紧急戒严令，但在国会于4日凌晨表决通过解除戒严的决议案等多方压力下，尹锡悦被迫收回成命，整个戒严闹剧仅为时六小时。随着弹劾案等一系列博弈的推进，韩国两大阵营的撕裂凸显，而这仅是世界步入两大阵营撕裂的一个缩影，其蝴蝶效应与普通人的命运并非无关。
多年来，韩国左右两大阵营斗而不破，保持一定平衡。但随着局势变化，2022年偏右的尹锡悦上台后，顶住内部压力，一边倒地强化美日韩同盟，对此前受损的韩中关系不作修复，韩朝关系恶化。而国会被偏左的在野党掌控，主张与中朝改善关系，朝小野大，杯葛不断，矛盾未能调和，终致尹锡悦孤注一掷下惨败。
六小时的戒严闹剧，是韩国政坛撕裂的一大伤口，也是世界格局在撕裂的一个缩影。从特朗普2016年竞选成功、2020年连任失败再到上个月卷土重来，美国就深陷两种价值观、两条路线、两大利益群体的对峙和斗争中，而欧洲则多国右翼崛起，与左翼斗得难舍难分。美国又领导多国组成一大阵营，与另一大阵营开展战略竞争，使广大发展中国家、南方国家面临越来越困难的立场平衡和站队抉择。
韩国近年经济衰退，重工业正被中国赶超，但韩国还是全球科技产品的重要供应国，如英伟达的最尖端半导体主要使用SK海力士的高频存储芯片。虽然朴正熙时期的威权统治奠定了韩国经济实力，但在1987年的民主转型后，公民社会较有活力，才有了科技工业的长期蓬勃发展，在流行文化输出上也有一定影响。如今韩国内部矛盾激化，但采取紧急戒严的理由难以服众，手段不被主流民意认可，重回威权时代没有可行性，但集中暴露出韩国国内和国际两大阵营的撕裂，这一矛盾必须面对。
韩国国旗名为太极旗，是根据中国古代道家的标识符号太极图演化而来。太极图又名阴阳鱼，体现矛盾的对立统一、互补共存。老子在《道德经》中说：“万物负阴而抱阳，中气以为和。”矛盾互因对方的存在而存在，在竞争中共同发展。铲除对手只会形成新的对手，是杀不完的。
世界是多元的、文明是多样性的，既有普世价值的共性，也有不同主体的个性，应求同存异。中医不追杀细菌，而是讲究菌群平衡，通过调理构建身心和谐。围棋的重点也不是国际象棋那样的“吃子”，而是争取围更多的地，着眼全局平衡和谐。从这些古老智慧中，可以获得对阵营撕裂、你死我活这一歧途的反思。
