Rules-based foreign reserve policy
Rules-based foreign reserve policy
If South Korea had had sufficient foreign reserves during the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, it would not have suffered from deadly massive unemployment and an economic crash. Its per capita GDP in 2018 would have been more than $50,000 instead of $31,363. Socially and politically much improvement could have been made in Korea.

Challenges for new UK PM
Challenges for new UK PM
Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson held their first head-to-head television debate recently in their battle to become the United Kingdom's next prime minister. With polls still indicating the sometimes-faltering Johnson could win by a landslide amongst Conservative members, the irony is that his hold on power if he wins on July 23 may be extremely fragile.

Iran and Trump: uniquely dysfunctional and divided
Iran and Trump: uniquely dysfunctional and divided
Iran has “begun its march ... towards nuclear weaponry,” said Israel's energy minister Yuval Steinitz, and that is technically correct. Only one year and 60 days after President Donald Trump tore up the treaty that guaranteed Iran wouldn't make nuclear weapons and peed on the pieces, Iran has taken a tiny step towards reviving its nuclear program.

Korean DMZ diplomacy
In an extraordinary and spontaneous summit, President Donald Trump briefly met with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un inside North Korea. The historic handshake and discussions between two adversaries, who rattled nuclear sabers merely two years ago, offered a highly symbolic but still decisive meeting on the divided Korean Peninsula.

Trump-Kim meeting and US-Asia charm offensive
Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot on North Korean soil Sunday, meeting with Kim Jong-un at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).This capped off the final leg of his Asia tour with Mike Pompeo after previous stop-offs in Japan and India which saw them doubling down on embedding their revamped U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy in the face of China's growing stre...

Hong Kong extradition and US immigration protests
Hong Kong extradition and US immigration protests
How should citizens react when “big government” does a bad thing that screams out for correction?

Does answer to our energy problems lie in tiny microbes?
