Crucially, that path has already been taken by South Korea. Despite 35 years of brutal Japanese colonization, three years of civil war, military dictatorship, and a lack of natural resources, the country has emerged from extreme poverty to become – in a volatile neighborhood – a stable, prosperous, and vibrant democracy.
关键的是韩国已经采取了这条道路。尽管经历了35年的残酷日本殖民、三年内战、军事独裁并且自然资源匮乏，但韩国仍然从极端贫困中崛于动荡的四邻，成为稳定、繁荣、充满活力的民主国家。它的邻国显然可以效仿它的榜样。
