Time for Korea-US cooperation to limit China's advanced tech gains
Even if Korea implements additional advanced technology policies, it will be increasingly difficult for Korean firms in advanced industries, like electronics, semiconductors, machinery, and autos, to compete against Chinese firms that are backed to the hilt by the Chinese government. China's innovation mercantilism playbook is to steal or coerce the transfer of technologies i...

Can ROK-US alliance and multilateral security framework co-exist?
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement and the subsequent signing of the ROK-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty. For the past seventy years, the ROK-U.S. alliance has been a critical framework for South Korea's security. But why did South Korea actively pursue a bilateral security pact rather than a multilateral alliance similar to NATO? To answer this...

AI, big data, and the end of humanity
It happened again this morning. I pressed my bank's smartphone app, and a warning message popped up. “Keep your data safe by updating to the newest app.” Bug fixes, hackers smarter than the programmers, and data breaches are reported all the time. I get similar messages when I go to my bank's website. I access the website a couple of times a month. Each time I log in, I get s...

Korea's quest for 'peace'
Anniversaries ending in zero or five are likely to focus special attention on the lessons of history. None is more portentous than the 70th anniversary this week of the signing of the truce that halted the Korean War on July 27, 1953.

Korea and perfection
There are a lot of things I like about Korean culture. Infrastructure, cuisine, dramas, K-pop music… the list is quite extensive. But we're going to have to talk about the elephant in the room.

BOK might be among first to cut, but will not rush
We recently revised our view on the Bank of Korea's (BOK) policy rate and now expect a cut of 25 basis points in the first quarter of 2024 instead of the fourth quarter of 2023. This change in view is in line with the central bank's more hawkish stance recently and we expect it to stay on hold until the end of this year. Just as the BOK was among the first central banks to in...

The wonder of self-publishing
Recently, I completed work on a short biography of my maternal grandfather, Louis David Socey, Sr. My mother, Mary Anne Socey Rowan, wrote the book in honor of his life. Daddy Lou, as we grandchildren called him, was a self-made lawyer. He left home younger than an adult to join the U.S. Calvary. He went on to be an early member of the Fingerprinting Division of the United St...

You are awful
Did the title compel you to click on the article? It's not surprising, as marketing practitioners often target consumers' emotions, more occasionally negative ones, because they are powerful motivators.

How would Korea collapse (again)?
If you discount the unsubstantiated myths about ancient Korea being the center of the Eastern World several millennia ago, today is the most powerful and most influential that Korea has ever been.
