1. Korea, which was an advanced country in science and IT..
Already falling behind even China in the AI field.
Selected together with North Korea, Russia, China, and Iran as a sensitive country by the US, receiving treatment at their level..
If this happens.. restrictions will arise in advanced technology cooperation such as nuclear energy and artificial intelligence (AI) between Korea and the US, and it is inevitable that it will have a negative impact on the Korea-US alliance. Scientific and technological cooperation between Korea and the US will inevitably be restricted and shrink.
2. Candlelight Revolution. A country with high-level civic consciousness
Korea ranks 48th overall.
Among detailed indicators measuring how inclusive public discourse is, how much the government respects the opposition party, diversity, and dissenting opinions, and how well fact-based debates are conducted, the 'deliberative index' received the lowest evaluation at 48th place..
Japan is ranked 27th.. It's even more infuriating that we're behind Japan, where the ruling party has been in long-term power.
While talking about politics gets you labeled as obsessed with politics, while indifference to politics is accepted as cool and smart.. while thinking that even if it's not me, someone else will set things right..
Witnessing the carefully built tower that has been constructed over decades crumbling inexplicably breaks my heart.
