NK and Muslims

Religious differences run deep in our pluralistic world. It may come as no surprise that such disagreements sometimes end up in violence. Yet that rarely is the case in what might be called Christendom. Indeed, in large part there is little discrimination let alone persecution against spiritual minorities in majority Christian nations. The exceptions tend to be countries that...

Trump should selectively emulate Trump

Trump should selectively emulate Trump

The existing paradigm of U.S.-China relations was largely observed and analyzed in the context of "China's rise" (zhongguo de jueqi), where China’s actions challenged American supremacy. The election of Trump, who is difficult to predict and has changed his campaign pledges as many as 141 times, may mean that Sino-American relations, from now on, are likely to be driven by U....
