Swimming upstream: South Korea-U.S. relations

Posted by Matt in February 4th, 2007

This year will likely see little improvement as the two governments limp home.

The year 2007 does not bode well for the alliance. One may argue whether the alliance has reached its lowest ebb in the past year or so, for it has been buffeted by many storms of varying intensity over its more than half-century of existence. If it is not at its nadir, the alliance seems to have entered a period of relative irrelevance unmatched since the end of the Cold War. This year will likely witness little improvement, as the two administrations limp toward their inevitable completions - President Roh’s following the election of December 2007, and President Bush after the November 2008 elections, in which political jockeying is already rampant.

South Korean Parliament Free Trade Brawl
CHAN: A sledgehammer battle took place at the South Korean Parliament today, literally. Parliament members opposing a a closed door meeting broke into a conference with sledgehammers and crowbars. One person suffered a head injury while others scuffled. Doors were knocked off their hinges while a desk used as a barricade was reduced to splinters. STORY: Members of South Korea's Grand National Party had barricaded themselves in the foreign affairs committee office, propping furniture against the door to keep Democratic Party members out. They wanted to finally approve legislation to a free trade deal with the United States. But Democratic Party members opposing the deal broke their way in. South Korea and the United States reached the free trade deal last year. The agreement, which...

Listening Post - US newspaper industry - 19 Sep 08 - Part 2
The Listening Post's Robin Armstrong reports on the ailing US newspaper industry. This is a chronic affliction - both advertising revenue and readership are shrinking, and newspapers across the country are performing something of a disappearing act. Moreover, US newspapers have seen their share value drop more than any other sector in the media industry, papers are haemorrhaging staff. They are faced with a choice: either migrate to the internet, or die. The Listening Post goes to California, home of one of America's oldest and best-known titles, the San Francisco Chronicle, to see if the US newspaper industry is about to publish its own obituary. In Newsbytes, we look at a cartoon saga in South Africa; an inflammatory DVD about Islamic extremism; media coverage of the forthcoming...

Korean man-power troops claim they can defeat USA
North Korean military forces consist of man-power, besides, they really think they are stronger than any other country, such as USA, Japan, and so on. North Korea is equal in absurdness and childishness to South Korea.

South Korea jails Indian mariners, Japans whalers chased by a garbage scow
In December, 2007, a Hong Kong oil tanker named Hebei Spirit went to unload its cargo in the South Korean port of Daesan on the Yellow Sea coast of Taean County, South Korea. The port officials (harbor master) requested the oil tanker wait outside the harbor, drop anchor until receiving further instructions. While oil tanker was waiting and follow the harbor masters orders, two tug boats nearby were hauling a crane barge owned by the South Korean corporation Samsung Heavy Industries. The barge broke loose and collided with the oil tanker, puncturing the tanker in three places causing an oil spill of some 10,800 tones of oil. The spill occurred near Mallipo Beach, considered on of South Koreas most popular beaches. To their credit some 20,000 South Korean volunteers help clean up this...

North Korean Camps - North Korea
November 2008 The only escapee of North Koreas most brutal prison camp has lived to tell us a story of unspeakable horror. Starved of food and common humanity, Shin proves that gulags are still a tragic reality. We were always hungry. Shins most vivid memory of his life in the camp is the constant hunger he felt, food made me escape, even if it was going to cost me my life. The only thing that interested me was the food. Before his escape three years ago, he didnt even know that a world existed beyond the barbed wires. Until then, his life had been one of torture, hard labour and complete isolation. My mother was supposed to inform on me and me on her. He believed she deserved her fate as he witnessed her execution. I blamed her. I had no real feelings as a kid. Shin didnt know love,...
