Davos forum shows the 'business of business' is changing
Conservative thinker Milton Friedman famously declared in the 1970s, in the period leading up to the political era defined by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, that the 'business of business is business'. By this, he meant that the bottom line of the private sector should be making money for shareholders.

Religious freedom, free speech and hate
Not long ago, an ultra-right-wing, so-called “Christian” broadcaster in Korea won the right in the courts to continue to preach hatred and incite violence against the LGBT community. The courts sided with the broadcaster under its interpretation of the constitutional guarantee of “religious freedom.”

Friends and enemies
In politics and human relations, today's friends may be friends for a long time, or not. They may be enemies in the future. This applies to current enemies and neutral parties. They may be the fastest of friends or bitterest of enemies in time. Sages have stated this maxim. I'm familiar with Plato's version in “The Republic.”

Japan's defense reawakening
There's a significant sea change occurring in Japanese defense policy. Some would say it's the result of a political Tsunami. Others would argue it's a long overdue wake-up call.

My heart still isn't broken
When I meet South Koreans who are negative about North Korean refugees, I ask them why. Some mention having to pay higher taxes because of North Korea and North Korean refugees and the negative stories they read about North Korean refugees. When I ask how many North Korean refugees they have met, most say, “None.”

McCarthy's turbulent start
Finally, after four days of grueling ballots laced with coercing, pleading, arm-twisting, bribing and finger-jabbing, Kevin McCarthy was able to flip some 20 conservative holdouts to become his supporters - or at least not explicit opponents in his bid for the speaker's gravel. This kind of intraparty standoff is unprecedented in modern times.

Cuban spy release shines light on darker tragedy
It's all about the timing. Ana Belen Montes, an American who served more than 20 years in federal prison for spying for the then-Castro regime while serving as a senior analyst in the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington, has been released. But this case is hardly the ho-hum end to another Cold War espionage story.

We must create a Korean Peninsula of reconciliation and coexistence
Recently, as North Korea roamed our airspace with its drones. President Yoon Seok Yeol said, “To achieve peace, we must prepare for an overwhelmingly superior war.” Is he saying that prevention is better than cure? As U.S.-North Korea relations change again and trust between them collapses, it is necessary for us to be prepared for North Korea's self-defense measures that wil...

Japan's military renaissance
WASHINGTON - Watch out for Japan. Also watch out for China. And watch out for nukes. These days, in Northeast Asia, everyone has to watch out for everything with increasing trepidation.

Three cheers for Korea's Indo-Pacific Strategy
There are times when a government is expected to make a declaration on the basic orientation of its foreign and security policy. In my mind, we are presently living through one such time. I am glad that the Korean government rose to the occasion and brilliantly met that expectation.
