Except for Japan and South Korea,
this plan also included Southeast Asia.
What was different,
was that in these two countries, Tang Qing had the idea of fostering consortia, while in the countries of Southeast Asia, Tang Qing's interest was not that great. The reason was simple—there were no significant interests.

In a previous life,
people were familiar with the United States, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and knew the top ten economies, because they were involved in a vast amount of economic activities in the international community. But what about the others? Their presence was very weak.
Such countries,
nearly all industries' cutting-edge, upstream sectors,
were out of their reach.
They were dumping grounds for advanced products from other countries. In the global industrial chain's division of labor, in the foreseeable future, they would only be suppliers of raw materials—this was foreseeable.
