South Korea's $648 Billion Bet Is Bigger Than a Chipmaker, It's a State-Industrial Playbook

Samsung's $648 billion ten-year capex and Seoul's parallel drone roadmap through 2032 are not two stories. They are one state-led industrial-policy bet, and the Anglophone wire split them only because its desks are split.

Desk note: the wire carried Samsung's announcement and the drone roadmap as two separate beats. This publication reads them as one industrial-policy story, the framing the Korean press itself has been running.
