Austerity train wreck
Austerity train wreck
In a flash, the savage destruction of Greece foretold in 2015 (and before) is back in the news, owing to a grisly tragedy on one of Europe's smallest railroad systems. On Feb. 28, a passenger train collided head-on with a freight train traveling in the opposite direction on the same track, resulting in the obliteration of the lighter, faster passenger train.

Korea's food videos and 'meokbang'
Korea's food videos and 'meokbang'
Recently, I've been looking at various YouTube and Facebook videos about Korean cooking. It's a reminder of the wonderful foods and experiences I had whilst visiting or living in South Korea. I've had countless happy meetings in which a meal formed a key part of events or experiences, with friends and colleagues. I've also enjoyed eating solo in Korea. These videos help to po...

Prepare for the worst, but no need for pessimism
South Korea's trade deficit has been a cause for concern for the past 12 months due to a decline in semiconductor exports and exports to China. A widening trade deficit could impact the Korean won and monetary policy, prompting the Bank of Korea (BOK) to hike the base rate further to stabilize the currency. Moreover, the trade deficit may negatively affect economic growth by ...

China's precarious balancing act
China's precarious balancing act
Precisely how far China will go in supporting Russia has been one of the most important questions of the war in Ukraine. On Feb. 20, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that China may soon provide arms (“lethal support”) to Moscow. But then, on Feb. 24 - the anniversary of Russia's invasion - China released a position paper calling for a political settlement to end ...

Artificial intelligence and the future of the Korean economy
Manufacturing has historically been one of the keys to Korea's economic success. Korean firms have moved up the value chain to become world-class manufacturers in high-value sectors such as semiconductors, automobiles, consumer electronics and shipbuilding.

South Korea to get up to speed for international greenhouse gas reduction
South Korea pledged to reduce its emissions of 291 million tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2030. Of the 291 reduction, 11.5 percent, or 33.5 million tons, must come from international mitigation projects, which include technical support, investment and procurements conducted to achieve GHG reduction targets as stipulated under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Korea's education fever and demographic decline
Korea's education fever and demographic decline
I recently finished watching the hit Korean drama “Crash Course in Romance” from tvN. I thoroughly enjoyed the romantic comedy, but there is a dark side to the story that should not be overlooked. (Spoiler alert - below includes information about the show, so if you have not seen it, you may wish to stop reading.)

Popping China's balloon
When U.S. President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, met in Bali last November, they agreed to hold high-level meetings to establish “guardrails” for the Sino-American strategic competition. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was scheduled to visit Beijing to inaugurate that effort last month. But when China sent a surveillance balloon (visible to the na...
