A thaw in China-US diplomatic relations? We can only hope
A thaw in China-US diplomatic relations? We can only hope
In Beijing now, even the Biden administration may be singing in a new key. In recent weeks, its new Ambassador Nicholas Burns has posed for countless photo-ops with the relish of a politician hustling for office. For all the seeming Twitter-type superficiality, though, it is quite good to see Washington waving the friendly side of the American flag.

What happens when honest citizens get targeted by fascists
What happens when honest citizens get targeted by fascists
To millions of oblivious Americans, “democracy” is just an abstraction conjured by dead men in powdered wigs, and “fascism” is just something with swastikas on the History Channel.

Economics of wedding gift money
I once saw readers of The Korea Times from other countries commenting on an article about the money given as a gift at weddings here. The article was about the frustration of people who intend to remain single for life. They have to give gift money to their friends for their weddings and other events that come afterwards, such as the first birthdays of their friends' babies, ...

War in Ukraine: lesson on why world should ban nuclear arms
War in Ukraine: lesson on why world should ban nuclear arms
Having witnessed the reality and consequences of the Russia-Ukraine conflict - a potentially long and protracted war with the specter of nuclear weapons looming over it - and observing the growing tensions in other parts of the world involving nuclear-armed states, we must switch course to conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and peacemaking.

Moral obligation
My upbringing as a Christian in the United States has formed my understanding of my moral obligation since childhood. I don't always get it right, but I try. I hope my understanding as an adult is deeper, more well-founded, and more in keeping with a being member of not just a global community, but a community that embraces all religions or none, all nationalities, languages,...

Liberal world order faces old dilemma: To share or to divide world
This month marks the Korean War's 72nd anniversary, a key defining event in the Cold War. Years ago, when I first read, “The Origins of the Korean War” written by U.S. historian Bruce Cumings, I was intrigued by his comparisons of U.S. Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.

Storm clouds threaten Hong Kong's once bright horizons
How time flies. It's been 25 years since Hong Kong returned to Chinese control, a quarter-century since the prosperous British Crown Colony became a semi-autonomous part of the People's Republic of China, the world's largest dictatorship. Nonetheless, the small but feisty islands on the south China coast remained a prosperous and relatively free place, until recently

Europe's new war of ideas
Europe's new war of ideas
Russia's war in Ukraine will bifurcate Europe once again. East will be divided from West, and the frontier between them will likely be a dangerous, militarily secured zone for the foreseeable future.

Yoon's strategic and tactical dilemmas
At the heart of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, which stipulates that if one member state is invaded, all other member states should automatically intervene for its protection. It is this clause that led some Eastern European countries to join NATO, having felt threatened by Russia's military revival under President Vladimir Putin, a leader obsessed with nostalgia for...

Cold War redux
North Korea stands to benefit from the war in Ukraine. Why? Because Russia may be more willing to ignore international sanctions and provide Pyongyang with what it needs: oil, grain and fertilizer among other crucial products.
