[Editorial] Stern response

EditorialNov 4, 2022

North Korea‘s military provocation seems to be going to the extreme. It fired 25 missiles, including short-range ballistic missiles, into the East and West Seas on Wednesday. One of the ballistic missiles flew across the Northern Limit Line, a de facto maritime border, with South Korea. It is reportedly the first time since the division of the Korean Peninsula into the communist North and capitalist South in 1945 that a North Korean ballistic missile landed south of the borderline. Its mil
North fires another missile into East Sea

North KoreaNov 3, 2022

North Korea fired another missile towards the East Sea late Thursday, continuing the series of launches that began Wednesday. According to Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, Pyongyang fired a missile of as yet undetermined specifications towards the East Sea. Earlier in the day Pyongyang fired three projectiles from two separate locations. One of the projectiles launched earlier in the day was an intercontinental ballistic missile, which failed. The launch followed a threat from Pak Jong-chon,

A Hana Bank Counterfeit Notes Response Center official examines a $100 bill on Thursday at the center located in Jung-gu, central Seoul. As the Korean won weakens against the US doller, South Korea's foreign exchange reserves shrank for the third consecutive month in October to $414.01 billion, down by $2.76 billion since September.
How China views the international and regional order

Foreign affairsNov 3, 2022

The international community has been in an era in which “no one backs you up” since the Donald Trump’s period. During the Trump era, US-China relations fell into a double trap of Thucydides and Kindleberger. Many in the international community believe that the international order has already entered the New Cold War between the US and China. Are we really in the New Cold War? Has the international order changed, or is it still changing? While the Cold War between the US and S

North KoreaNov 3, 2022

It has been estimated that the string of missile launches carried out on Wednesday could have cost North Korea as much as $75 million. According to Radio Free Asia, Bruce Bennett of RAND Corporation estimated that each launch would have cost Pyongyang between $2 million and $3 million. With South Korea having detected 25 missiles throughout the day, the cost of Pyongyang’s barrage would range from $50 million to $75 million. The estimated cost of launching a missile, including North Korea&

[Kim Myong-sik] Hate campaign deepens in South Korean politics

ViewpointsNov 3, 2022

With deepest grief for the victims of the Saturday night disaster in Itaewon, I just wish for the political peace that followed the tragedy to last longer, although it is feared to be brief. After the right-wing conservatives retook power from the leftists with the thinnest margin ever in the March presidential election, South Korea’s ruling and opposition parties have been engaged in a war of attrition with increasingly virile words of incrimination while the nation faces worsening econom
[Editorial] Blame game won’t help

EditorialNov 3, 2022

Public figures have belatedly apologized for their improper responses to the Itaewon tragedy that killed at least 156 people, but questions are being raised over what went wrong, who is responsible for the missteps and what might have been done to prevent the disaster. At the heart of the raging dispute is whether police failed to take proper actions to prevent the weekend Halloween crowd surge in advance, especially after transcripts of emergency calls were disclosed, showing that police had re
[Kevin McDermott] Authoritarianism looming in US

ViewpointsNov 3, 2022

Authoritarian movements are rising in democracies around the world, in ways not seen since the 1930s. And contrary to the title of a famous dystopian novel from that era, it can happen here. In lots of small ways, it’s already happening. In Missouri, one state official is trying to dictate what library patrons can read, while another is demanding to see journalists’ emails. In Florida, people are being arrested for voting. In red states around the country, legislators energized by th

[Doyle McManus] Bipartisanship on Ukraine was nice while it lasted

ViewpointsNov 2, 2022

Over the eight months since Russia invaded Ukraine, public support for US military aid to Kyiv has been remarkably solid and mostly bipartisan. A large majority of Americans (73 percent in a Reuters/Ipsos survey this month) favor continued help for Ukraine, and Congress, with support from both parties, has approved more than $65 billion in aid. But cracks in the consensus have begun to appear, and the divided government that’s likely after the midterm elections will almost surely worsen th

A post titled "I want only to fact check" on the Itaewon tragedy went viral on social media and online communities on Monday. It was written anonymously on an online community called "theqoo." The source of the information was not disclosed. It contained six questions and answers to them. For example: “Was the police force deployed this year smaller than that in the past? Yes. Eight hundred officers had been posted at one time in the past. This year it was 200 officer

The 2022 US midterm elections are just around the corner. The outcome of the election on November 8 is crucial for both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party because it will heavily influence the next presidential election in 2024. Therefore, election campaigns are rampant these days. On their front yard lawn, homeowners set up pickets bearing the names of senators and representatives they support. YouTube subscribers, too, encounter election campaign ads before they can watch the main s
