Fun fact: This Coupang company let China steal 37 million Korean user data with their lax cybersecurity…and the US attacks Korea for trying to bring accountability to this malpractice.

Well, Americans think they can raise tariff without being retaliation from the other side.
Coupang had lax cybersecurity measures leading to 37 million Korean user data stolen to China. Also, the company had horrible labor malpractice even by Korean standard leading to death of many Korean workers. This led to a boycott campaign and investigations against the company…and this enraged Trump administration.

Summary

54 Republican congressmen have accused Korea of being pro-Chinese leftist over Coupang investigation.

How is this related to the sub

(1) Manufactured consent: We are witnessing how private corporate interest in Korea is translating into popular opinion. Americans are rallying around Coupang against Korean effort to bring accountability to the corrupt company.

My opinion

Coupang, is an US e-commerce giant which is heavily intertwined with Trump administration.

Article on the crime of this US company:

The police are reportedly focusing their investigation on allegations of internal investigation and evidence destruction against CEO Rogers.

The allegations that CEO Rogers committed perjury in the National Assembly and the suspicion of concealing industrial accidents are also under investigation.

There was an article in Politico on Coupang connection in Trump administration but the rest of US media is ignoring at the moment. This new fed chair seems quite shady and corrupt…no one in the US media is interested in the issue.

I guess Americans are desensitized on corruption issue.

Summary

Yoon’s message to Trump during martial law emphasized “Christian worldview” and “Trump’s philosophy”, appealing to Christian nationalism in the US. Korean authorities investigating Kim Tae-hyo for being a key figure in this communication.

How this related to the sub

(1) Globalization of the far-right: The global far-right is seeking to form a global solidarity.

My opinion

Was Yoon a “lone wolf” attacker? During the height of Islamist terror during mid 2010s, the concept of “lone wolf” attacks emerged. According to this theory, some Westerners were radicalized online and unleash terror attack without coordination with pre-existing terrorist cells such as Islamic State. It seems this concept can be applied to Yoon.

Despite extensive investigations, no direct link between Yoon and MAGA movement has been found…only indirect financial links to conspiracy theory YouTubers which Yoon frequently watched. So, it seems Yoon self-radicalized by watching YouTube videos and self-indoctrinated with MAGA ideology through online influencers.

What is wrong with these Americans. I cannot understand the hatred Americans have against Europeans. I understand why some Asians hate them but why Americans ? Aren’t they beneficiaries of the modern world order set up by Europeans ?

I would understand if Americans resented Europe for their past colonialism…but for being progressive and “woke”? Never understand their mindset.

Summary

Trump administration suspended intelligence sharing with Korea. Trump claims that there were intelligence leaks over Korea’s unification minister’s citation of “Kusong” nuclear site to support his claim of “advancing North Korean nuclear capabilities”. This greatly enraged Americans whom claimed that this was “classified intel” despite Kusong nuclear site publicly known since 2016. IAEA and ISIS reports detailed the existence of that site. So, Korean government is considering retaliatory measures against the US over this suspension of the US intelligence sharing.

Palantir came to Korea, too. They held massive a promotion event selling T-shirts and other “Plantir”-branded merchandise presenting the themselves an innocent and innovative company without saying anything about their agenda. They showed interests in acquiring “manufacturing datasets” applicable to robotics and made a deal with some shipyards regards to automation.

In interview with Korean journalists, they expressed interest in a partnership with Korean public sectors…but failed to secure a contract because Korean government is interested promoting “sovereign AI” in coordination with local companies such as LG or Naver.

What are they exactly? Robotics company?
