Old allies: President Moon on the phone with US President Joe Biden in Seoul last week. AP I HAVE always thought that South Korea was radically different from the United States. In recent history, however, I have found striking similarities between the two countries, albeit in opposite ways.
I am not alone: American political analysts, too, have argued that there are many common factors between South Korea’s Moon administration and the Trump administration.
They point out, for example, that both administrations adopted populist policies, disregarded democracy and favoured conspiracy theories. Both governments condemned any criticism as fake news, used social media and the press for propaganda, and relied on religiously devoted, extremist supporters.
Why COVID-19 Cases Will Instantly Drop
COVID-19 cases will drop like a rock from here on, and the reason for that is simple. One hour after Joe Biden’s inauguration as the 46th president of the United States, the World Health Organization suddenly and out of the blue lowered the recommended PCR cycle threshold (CT),

Many keen observers of America and its democratic system must be shocked by many unfortunate events related to Presidential elections and the Republican-Democrat rivalry. These developments gave many reasons to believe that this Presidential election is going to be remembered as the saddest chapter of the US democratic history. But few would have taken note of the extraordinary cohesion, comradely coordination and collective wisdom demonstrated by the same political rivals on some issues related to common national agenda. Voting patterns and floor coordination between the two rival parties in both houses of the US Congress on both laws which were passed in support of human rights of China’s two restive colonies Xinjiang and Tibet during peak months of Presidential election presented the other side of the American democracy.
PRC a strategic adversary: UN nominee
ABOUT-FACE: The nominee for US ambassador to the UN expressed regret over a speech in 2019 praising China, and vowed to work aggressively against Beijing
AP, UNITED NATIONS
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US President Joe Biden’s nominee for US ambassador to the UN, on Wednesday called China “a strategic adversary” that threatens the world, and expressed regret for a speech she gave in 2019 that praised Beijing’s initiatives in Africa and made no mention of its human rights abuses.
During her confirmation hearing at the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the veteran diplomat was pressured by US senators Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz about the speech at Savannah State University’s Confucius Institute on “China-US-Africa Relationships.”
