[Contribution] Lessons from latest market tantrum
Markets
Jan 22, 2019
By Steve BriceThe fourth quarter of 2018 was the second-worst quarter for global stocks since the 2008 financial crisis. No major equity market was spared. A benchmark of global stocks dropped 13 percent during the quarter, and 11 percent in all of last year, recording its biggest annual loss in a decade, as investors were spooked by the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes amid slowing global growth and corporate earnings. What can we learn from the latest market tantrum and how do we
Bad welding 27 years ago caused Ilsan hot water pipe rupture
Social affairs

The pipeline rupture on Dec. 4, 2018 that killed one person turned out to be the result of weak welding when the pipeline was first installed in 1991, according to police Tuesday.“We have received results from the National Forensic Service that say the underground pipe burst due to weak welding done 27 years ago when it was first installed. Bearing water pressure for many years, it seems a piece of welding fell off,” said an official from Ilsan Dongbu Police, adding that police are tracking down
[Noah Smith] China’s plan to end US trade surplus is red herring
Viewpoints
Jan 22, 2019
There has been an unexpected development in the US-China trade war. Chinese trade officials apparently offered a huge concession earlier this month: a promise to completely eliminate its trade surplus with the US by 2024. The offer was off the record, but it’s still a huge surprise, especially given the haphazard and clumsy way that President Donald Trump has chosen to fight his trade war. Why is China making this proposal? One possibility is that the government is afraid that the trade war is h
[Leonid Bershidsky] Europe has a China problem, too

The US push to “decouple” its economy from China’s is causing ripples in Europe. The Federation of German Industries, the most influential industrial lobby group, has proposed a vision for keeping Europe’s important economic relationship with China alive and preventing the country’s state-owned and state-supported firms from competing unfairly. As President Donald Trump has intensified his war against the established rules of global trade, the European Union has increasingly found itself on the
[Kim Seong-kon] Society that invites a Mona Lisa smile
Viewpoints
Jan 22, 2019
Leonardo Da Vinci’s monumental painting “Mona Lisa” is one of the most widely discussed paintings of all time because of its subject’s ambiguous smile. People have argued that depending on the viewer’s distance and angle, her smile looks different. Sometimes it looks happy, other times sad. Some people find the smile to be deriding and sarcastic, while others perceive it as a smile of condescension, like someone who knows everything. That is why Mona Lisa’s smile always refers to an enigmatic sm

On the morning of March 26, 2018, my colleague Yoolim Lee ordered a Grab ride in Singapore. Within hours, she was lying in hospital with a fractured vertebrae and a vertebral artery dissection. Her story, published in the Jan. 19 edition of Bloomberg Businessweek, is the result of what happens when a deeply personal incident collides with journalistic curiosity. Lee’s tale also brings to the fore something about the ride-hailing industry that’s been sitting in the subconscious of many executives
[Lee Jae-min] No plan in sight for fine dust

Here we go again. Public concerns escalate, agencies issue advisories, and ominous news reports flood media outlets. And then we get one final piece of advice: Wear masks. That is pretty much it -- nothing further happens. When the next fine-dust blanket hits the country a couple of weeks later, I can almost guarantee the cycle will repeat. This is too lame for a country that inches closer to a fine-dust disaster with each passing year. When fine dust levels soared to new heights last week, clea
