Why Macron matters to world
Why Macron matters to world
Thousands of “yellow vest” protestors took to French streets Saturday and Sunday for the eighth consecutive weekend of anti-government demonstrations. The continuing protests have badly weakened President Emmanuel Macron and one of the key political questions in 2019 is whether he can recover some of his former sky-high popularity.

How can a bankrupt republic run the world?
America's annual budget battle is at its peak and Washington continues to flaunt its remarkable dysfunction. In coming years this fiscal irresponsibility is likely to drive U.S. foreign and military policy.

Key challenges in 2019
Key challenges in 2019
It's that time of the year again to consult the crystal snow globe and look ahead at what global political crises we may face in the upcoming year. After a tumultuous 2018, it would be nice to have a respite from the political jolts, lurches and surprises of the past months, but that, alas, is unlikely.

Want to be cheered up at the end of this benighted year? Okay, how's this? It's starting to look like interstellar travel may be possible in a time frame that would be manageable for human beings.

China's reform era changed country, world
China's reform era changed country, world
Beijing held a big party to celebrate the economic reform process started 40 years ago which changed China and the world. Amid the meticulous staging in the cavernous Great Hall of the People, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping addressed the party faithful to a backdrop of massive red banners and gold trappings, using the high-octane nationalism that characterizes China's long...

Stronger navy key to protecting Korea's gains
Stronger navy key to protecting Korea's gains
When my parents left the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 1972, the country was a mess. It was still reeling from 35 years of Japanese colonization followed shortly thereafter by the devastating Korean War, which left over two million dead or missing. Even 19 years after the armistice of 1953, South Korea was 35th in the world by GDP, behind countries like Nigeria and Iran.

Sri Lanka: fairy-tale ending?
Sri Lanka: fairy-tale ending?
You could write a heart-warming fairy tale about the turbulent events in the island nation of Sri Lanka over the past two months. It would involve a conniving president who abruptly and illegally dismisses the elected prime minister, and replaces him with a corrupt and blood-soaked former despot who was the president's old boss.

Paranoid nationalism spilling onto university campuses
Paranoid nationalism spilling onto university campuses
Are new icicles dangling in the surfacing cold war between China and the United States? Mainland Chinese students at U.S. universities number more than 300,000. That's good for China and the U.S., no? Not, we are told, if many are doing more spying than studying.

Russia's view and interests changes in Northeast Asia
South Korean President Moon Jae-in's efforts to stimulate inter-Korean detente and the ongoing denuclearization talks between North Korea and the U.S. are both welcome by Moscow and essential for achieving Russia's policy priorities with regards to Northeast Asia and Asia in general. The reason for this is simple - Russia wants a peaceful Asia, as only this will support Russi...

Yellow Jackets sting Macron
Yellow Jackets sting Macron
Elected on a wave of dynamism a mere 18 months ago, French President Emmanuel Macron has morphed into the figure of derision and disillusion. From a stunning 66 percent landslide win in the May 2017 elections to a perilous political free fall, Emmanuel Macron, France's youngest president, now has an 18 percent approval rating.
