In South Korea’s presidential election on June 3, the then-opposition Korean Democratic Party received 49.42 percent of the vote, while the ruling People Power Party (PPP) came second with 41.15 percent. Six months earlier, the PPP’s then-leader, President Yoon Suk Yeol, attempted to declare martial law, for which he was later impeached and removed. Now under new leadership, the PPP is finding its feet as the main opposition party in a closely divided country. How does the new opposition view President Lee Jae-myung? What do election results mean for Seoul’s relationship with Taipei? And how would Lee respond to a crisis in the Taiwan Strait? In this special episode from South Korea, TaiwanTalks speaks to a member of the PPP about the election results, Yoon’s failed martial law bid, and the consequences for South Korea’s foreign policy.

This man described the major flooding disaster that occurred in North Korea last year. According to Daily NK, the flooding along the Yalu River caused extensive damage to homes in parts of North Pyongan Province and Ryanggang Province. The Pyongyang authorities mobilized over 120,000 people within four months to undertake large-scale reconstruction efforts. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un personally promised to initiate an astonishing “North Korean speed,” completing disaster-resistant housing in just four months, designed to last 50 to 100 years. North Korean state media loudly claimed that the affected areas had been transformed into “model socialist villages admired by the world.” But many residents are concerned about the quality of the buildings, given that high-rise buildings were rapidly constructed in just three to four months

It was a macabre discovery – hundreds of battered wooden fishing boats, some carrying human remains, washed up on the shores of Japan and Russia. Investigators found that all the boats originated from North Korea. But what happened to the crew members? That question is what Global Fishing Watch set out to answer. The independent monitoring group’s Senior Data Scientist Jaeyoon Park eventually revealed a deep-sea heist of historic proportions.

A new animation has shown how Kim Jong Un’s humiliating warship disaster may have unfolded.The ship was meant to be slid sideways into the water – but instead its front went in first, causing the vessel to tilt and break.New satellite images showed the extent of the damages, with the not-so-menacing destroyer lying on its side and blue sheets covering it up.Part of the vessel, thought to be built with help from Russian despot Vladimir Putin, still appeared to be on the shipway while the rest looked as if it had slipped into the water.The furious dictator is now looking for a scapegoat to blame for the catastrophic ceremony which he was forced to watch with his own eyes.Raging Kim deemed the failed launch a “criminal act” and blamed the mishap on “absolute carelessness” by multiple state institutions.He added that the “irresponsible errors” of those involved will be dealt with.

Right now, the biggest thing in the world might be the tariff war started by Trump. This trade war just began not long ago, but people have already noticed something. This trade war is mainly a showdown between the United States and the CCP. I personally think this could also be a final battle that decides if the CCP regime will survive. So, what’s the future of this war? Will China face a situation like North Korea, where lots of people starved to death?

President Donald Trump is looking to make some of the biggest changes to our nation’s defense capabilities in (at least) 60 years—and he’s going to do it in space.After launching the Space Force as the 6th branch of the military in his first term and reestablishing Space Command, Trump is seeking to expand U.S. military capabilities in space to include hundreds (or even thousands) of satellites equipped with heat-seeking missiles that can be fired to destroy nuclear warheads directly in enemy nations.Meaning that instead of waiting until a missile from Russia, China, or North Korea is on its way to America, this constellation of satellites can rain down missiles directly on any nation on earth, destroying the nukes right then and there.This is truly the nuclear war in space that Ronald Reagan famously envisioned. Except that now, with advances in manufacturing, computing, and AI, it looks like it’s actually becoming a reality.
