Why world needs to study China
Why world needs to study China
Jean-Pierre Lehmann says the country’s centrality in our 21st-century world makes it imperative that outsiders understand what is shaping its views and decisions, and Hong Kong could do more to facilitate such learning Far from ushering in a “new world order”, so far the 21st century has been marked by turbulent uncertainties. There are very few things on which a consensus co...

All nations desire FDI inflows
All nations desire FDI inflows
Until a few years ago I had taught international economics including a subject about international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) at Sungkyunkwan University. I remember this subject was very popular among the students, particularly foreign students. By the university’s policy, I have lectured this course in English because a good number of foreign students were tak...

Franchises and the law
Franchises and the law
In the news lately there have been several negative storylines about Korean franchise owners enriching themselves at the expense of their franchisees. Of course, the very idea behind a franchise is to own intellectual property (a brand, a product or a business model) that makes money through other people’s labor who pay for the right to use it. The Korean franchise industry i...

It is the darkest days that seem to bring out the best in us - including our leaders.

Are emerging alliances threat to US?
Are emerging alliances threat to US?
At the end of the Cold War, the United States of America comfortably became the sole superpower with no serious contender. At the end of the Cold War, with Europe as its ally and the Russia out of the race, the USA exhibited its might in the First Gulf War (1991) and other theaters of war. There was no possibility of disagreement with the U.S. amounted to blasphemy, the world...

Is Hong Kong doomed to be a society of low birth rates and eventually declining population? Austrian demographer Wolfgang Lutz has put forward the hypothesis of a “low fertility trap” that illustrates the challenges we face.

Protocols of Donald Trump
Protocols of Donald Trump
LONDON - It is an odd quirk in the history of logic that the blameless Cretans should have given their name to the famous “liar paradox.” The Cretan Epimenides is supposed to have said: “All Cretans are liars.” If Epimenides was lying, he was telling the truth - and thus was lying. Something similar can be said of U.S. President Donald Trump: Even when he’s telling the truth,...

President Moon Jae-in met with his counterpart Donald Trump in a two-day summit, to discuss many looming issues including those involving North Korea. The summit was successful and productive for South Korea because Moon’s visit officially ended the political vacuum since the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye and confirmed the active role of the South Korean gover...
