This is probably the explanation.
But makes you wonder why we don't have such anymore. Such gifts seem like fiction in this generation.

I don't think it's helpful the way we rail against Africa here without expending some energy to understand why things are the way they're. For the OP to insist that South Korea got to the place she's today based solely on her efforts is deceptive. Lots of international realities came together to create the present day Asian tigers. Believe me, if the South Koreans were forced to face the kind of undermining efforts that the western powers visit on many African states, South Korea might be another Laos or Burma today...

The main factor was the proximity of communist China and socialist USSR to the Asian Tigers. With these two super powers supporting communist fighters both in Vietnam and North Korea in the 60s, the west worried real hard that the whole of Asia might end up as Communist states post world war and started building up strong capitalist enclaves around Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore etc as some kind of bulwark against communism/socialism. The fear of communism/spread of the socialist influence of the USSR across Asia, was the main factor..

This forced the west to invest heavily in these countries, who became western allies post world war 2. Western governments encouraged heavy technological transfers and helped to skill the local manpower to specifics. More importantly, instead of assassinating vibrant leaders in these South East Asian countries as was the case in Africa, their leaders were heavily encouraged and guarded as long as they were pro west. That gave the leaders the space to build up their countries and advance the course of national growth.. This doesn't distract from the point that these countries did have some really good leaders at this point, eg Singaporean leader Lee..

The transfer of technologies in order to grow the economies of these countries helped create a vibrant and peaceful region. They had, an already waiting western markets to buy their products. Western heavy investments in almost all sectors of the economy helped to create a prosperous set of countries that ultimately used their capitalist power to convince the communists in China that communism wasn't working. This was the main reason why China ditched communism for capitalism especially when the ordinary Chinese revolted in 1989 over their conditions, which were worse when compared to that of the people of Hong Kong..
Africa, in my own analysis, would have been better of, if there was a power tussle going on here between the major global powers. This is why I am not totally against Chinese deep penetration of Africa..

We were at the same starting line with the Asians like 50 years ago. Now some of them are world powers, economic powers, etc. Our people are running to go there. Except we have some strong leadership. Nothing.
