Korea's food videos and 'meokbang'
Korea's food videos and 'meokbang'
Recently, I've been looking at various YouTube and Facebook videos about Korean cooking. It's a reminder of the wonderful foods and experiences I had whilst visiting or living in South Korea. I've had countless happy meetings in which a meal formed a key part of events or experiences, with friends and colleagues. I've also enjoyed eating solo in Korea. These videos help to po...

China's precarious balancing act
China's precarious balancing act
Precisely how far China will go in supporting Russia has been one of the most important questions of the war in Ukraine. On Feb. 20, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that China may soon provide arms (“lethal support”) to Moscow. But then, on Feb. 24 - the anniversary of Russia's invasion - China released a position paper calling for a political settlement to end ...

Korea's education fever and demographic decline
Korea's education fever and demographic decline
I recently finished watching the hit Korean drama “Crash Course in Romance” from tvN. I thoroughly enjoyed the romantic comedy, but there is a dark side to the story that should not be overlooked. (Spoiler alert - below includes information about the show, so if you have not seen it, you may wish to stop reading.)

Popping China's balloon
Popping China's balloon
When U.S. President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, met in Bali last November, they agreed to hold high-level meetings to establish “guardrails” for the Sino-American strategic competition. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was scheduled to visit Beijing to inaugurate that effort last month. But when China sent a surveillance balloon (visible to the na...

Slippery slope of occupation
Slippery slope of occupation
The only thing to celebrate on the first anniversary of Russia's war is the scale and courage of the Ukrainian resistance, which has surprised everyone, including Ukraine's allies and maybe even the Ukrainians themselves. Through self-defense, Ukraine is achieving self-transformation.

It's not time to fight, but to cooperate
It's not time to fight, but to cooperate
It is common for neighbors to have conflicts in any region. Last year, Russia invaded Ukraine. To Korea, neighboring Japan was the Russia of its past. Imperial Japan was once the invader who trampled on the freedom and spirit of the Korean people. This historical fact does not change over time.

A memo to next World Bank president
OXFORD - The World Bank will soon pick a new president. With the world facing a confluence of climate, debt, energy, and security crises, the leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for the institution. A more active leader could put the Bank in pole position to assist countries in crisis, help fight climate change, and facilitate cooperation between the United States and...

Germany's self-centered war debate
Germany's self-centered war debate
Two months after Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, Jurgen Habermas, perhaps Germany's leading public intellectual, published a commentary that triggered one of the country's most ferocious political debates in decades. Habermas asked how Germany should position itself in the widening Russian-Ukrainian war. Germans still haven't reached any agreement on an answer.
