'Korea shows leadership in global coronavirus fight'
'Korea shows leadership in global coronavirus fight'
I read with interest your article “Minister Kang - our best Joan of Arc” outlining the over-reaction of Japan and others to Koreans regarding the corona virus. Around the world racists are attacking anyone who looks Asian. Within South Korea itself, conservative ideologues condemn the liberal administration for not banning Chinese from the county.

  • Minister Kang: our best Joan of Arc for now
Religious freedom and COVID-19 epidemic
Rev. Lee Man-hee, the founder of the Shincheonji religious sect, expressed remorse Monday that so many patients were tied to his church. If he apologized to the Korean people of his own free will, I respect his choice.

Boycotting Japanese products

Invaluable resource for understanding Korea
I visited Korea recently in October and found The Korea Times an invaluable resource for understanding Korea today. It greatly helped me understand the dynamics of political, business and social life within Korea and the Korean perspective on events in larger Asia.

Are we ready for N. Korea attack?
Are we ready for N. Korea attack?
North Korean leader Kim Jong-eun has frequently threatened to attack South Korea and the United States with missiles. U.S. President Donald Trump has counter-threatened with no less strength.

Chinese media help in effort to usurp India's territory
Chinese media help in effort to usurp India's territory
It is with my deep sense of pain and anguish that I write this letter expressing my deep hurt against the role played by the Chinese media to spit fire on India.

"The only gassing that took place in the camps was to kill the lice that caused typhus. Gassing was a life-saving measure, not a homicidal one."
