Responding to the climate emergency is a challenge for everyone, but particularly for countries that are economically reliant on petroleum extraction or production. Decarbonization has created an opportunity for many countries to pursue a green industrial revolution. But as more countries embrace this route to future prosperity, the value of fossil fuel assets, technologies and capabilities will diminish, threatening jobs, export revenues and industrial innovation in petroleum-dominated economie

“Yes, she was a little different from the rest of us. I think she was kind of magnanimous for a kid at our age, and was quite cheerful, positive and smart. I can see she hasn’t changed since.” That’s how my friend recalls Youn Yuh-jung, who won the Academy Award for best supporting actress. My friend, a retiree in the US state of Maryland, was one of Youn’s classmates toward the end of the 1950s. The scars of the Korean War at the onset of the decade were still de

Samsung BioLogics on Wednesday denied a local report which said it was preparing to begin production of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine as early as August. The biotech arm of Samsung Group, headquartered in Songdo, Incheon, said the report from Korea Economic Daily was “not factual” in a filing to the Korea’s main stock exchange. The report in question said Samsung BioLogics was in talks for the contract-manufacturing deal with Pfizer and its Songdo production plant is capa

<형용사가 동사가 되다> 영어를 공부할 때 우리는 ‘품사’라는 것을 배우죠. 영어로는 part of speech라고 합니다. 명사, 형용사, 동사 등이 모두 ‘품사’입니다. 영어의 중요한 특성 중 하나는 한 단어가 여러 품사를 지닌다는 점입니다. 특히 형용사나 명사로만 알고 있던 단어가 동사가 되는 예가 많죠. 아래 예문을 볼까요? A: Are you going out for dinner now? B: I’ll join you later. My mother asked me to tidy up the house before I leave. A: 지금 저녁 먹으러 갈래? B: 나중에 갈게. 엄마가 나가기 전에 집 청소 좀 해 놓으라고 하셨거든.  situation: 깨끗이 정리한다고 할 때 한국어처럼: Make your room tidy. 영어답게: Tidy up your room tidy는 &ls

Is democracy in decline, retreat or under siege? This is a soul-searching question by many who agonize over a lost golden age of democracy, freedom and rule-based world order. Notice that democracy was rarely granted by the British Empire, which never granted democracy to her colonies (other than white Canada or Australia) until forced to give independence after she became exhausted by two World Wars. Democracy was adopted as part of American tool-box to be pushed so that more people would be l

While many central banks are still investigating the possibility of issuing a digital currency, China has rolled out a digital currency via a series of pilot programs since last year. The eRMB (my term as opposed to the more awkward official DC/EP) by itself will not help the renminbi to challenge the US dollar’s global dominance. Its true significance instead lies in its potential to alter the balance between China’s technology giants and traditional majority state-owned banks, thus

As America beats back COVID-19 with vaccines, the catastrophe in India reminds us that much of the world’s population has yet to receive a shot. Coping with a virulent second wave of the virus, desperate Indians plead for oxygen tanks for their loved ones. Mass cremations of victims barely cope with more than 300,000 new cases daily, but less than 4 percent of nearly 1.4 billion people have gotten their first jab. India has rightly become a tragic reminder that the United States and the
