Core capability mostly depends on the emergency management system is an integrated model or segregated model. The emergency management systems of Korea and US are integrated one and China’s system is segregated one. Based on the analysis of Chinese government disaster reduction system, this study compared the China’s Eastern Star cruise ship wreck accident and Korea’s Sewol sank accident, which both killed hundreds of people, we can see that China’s disaster reduction was much more efficient and effective than Korea did. The main reason is China has a much stronger control ability than Korean government, which make a good cooperation among agencies at the state level, between central government and local government, and among agencies at local level. Through the study, we can see that the Chinese political system gives the government a very strong control ability, that is the core competitiveness of Chinese disaster management cooperation system. That is to say that successful disaster management needs successful cooperation among government agencies, cooperation needs the control ability, the control ability needs the political system to give guarantee.
