While Samsung\u2019s advanced memory investments align with South Korea\u2019s efforts to achieve greater tech independence, this move alone may not ensure that South Korea can maintain a strong, competitive position amid mounting regional and global competition, especially as countries around the world seek secure, diversified supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/business-economy\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Business &amp; Economy<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/technology-cyber\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Technology &amp; Cyber<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Electronics reported its third quarterly earnings with a 72.8% year-over-year increase in net income to $7.3 billion (10.1 trillion won), supported by strong sales in consumer electronics and mobile divisions.
