Need for common ground in diplomacy, national security
At the core of President Yoon Suk Yeol's diplomatic strategy is a shift away from strategic ambiguity toward values-based diplomacy. This is an inevitable choice imposed on South Korea by the current security environment defined by the new Sino-American Cold War and the worsening nuclear threat of North Korea. A dual structure of trilateral alliances between South Korea, the ...

North Korea's worsening story
We're accustomed to two basic stories from North Korea. First is the North's nuclear and missile programs. Kim Jong-un is forever ordering missile tests, and he may also be considering the North's seventh nuclear test - which would be its first since September 2017.

Peace: Bad for business
I grew up during the Vietnam War. I was safely tucked away in the mountains of the western United States, but the specter of war was ever-present. Neighbors and friends were being drafted to go to that faraway place to fight a war that few people supported. Family members in the U.S. military were deployed to the war.

Dark mystery behind 'jeonse'
The Korean stock market is still reeling from the pyramid scheme using contracts for difference (CFD), which was used to ramp up stocks over many years until everything collapsed within days. The Korean prosecutors arrested the alleged mastermind Ra Deok-yeon, head of an unregistered investment consulting firm, and his associate.

Detente
Korea and Japan have a long and troubled history with each other. They shared a variation of the Chinese writing system for centuries. Both countries share similar tastes in food (raw seafood, rice and green tea, for example), and they both have excellent infrastructure and public transportation. But Japan's brutal occupation of Korea from 1910 until 1945 and the industrial s...

Myanmar military regime backed by Russia, China: UN Report
It's hardly a surprise, but an affirmation of the obvious. Myanmar's military regime is being backed, supported and protected by both Russia and China. What's new is that the specifics of this assistance have come to light in a landmark U.N. report uncovering the extent of arms and munitions transfers to Myanmar, the Southeast Asian state beset by longtime military rule, amid...

Leaning together to freedom
These days, the Yoon Suk Yeol administration has continued its diplomatic efforts. They succeed in working in unison with the United States and Japan on Northeast Asian security. The major gambit concerns China, not North Korea, though Kim Jong-un continues the usual antics to demand attention. Yoon and his government face criticism for working with Japan, including from Chin...

On creating infrastructure for Korea-Japan reconciliation
These days, the outlook for a serious and positive new start of Korean-Japanese relations is better than ever, once one considers the last two decades.

What makes it so difficult for Japan to apologize to Korea
Even if it has been a year since President Yoon Suk Yeol's inauguration and the media is trying hard to find his “achievements,” my rationale for criticism has been replaced by something more significant.
