This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government
The US Department of Energy (DOE), which supervises US energy policy and duties relating to nuclear power research and development and military nuclear weapon programs, has classified South Korea as a “sensitive country” and established regulatory measures in line with this, the Hankyoreh confirmed in an investigation on Sunday.
Classification as a sensitive country means that exchange and cooperation in connection with US advanced technology areas such as nuclear power and artificial intelligence (AI) are heavily restricted. This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government.
Democracy in South Korea > Democracy in USA.
The number of countries that don’t fit on the left is decreasing every day.
Idk, have you heard of chaebols? They basically run Korea.
Unlike the US, which isn’t run by gigantic monopolies at all
The situation in the US isn’t great, but at least antitrust law enforcement usually fixes the worst of it… eventually.
I’ll agree when they finally break up Google. They’ve been saying this for years and as far as I’m aware they have made zero progress towards doing so.
Yup. They’ve actually laid out what they’re threatening, but we’ll see if the hammer actually falls this decade…
There have been no major successful antitrust actions in the US since the 1980s breakup of Bell. Biden’s admin started a few, only for Elon to fire most of the people in the FTC, causing e.g. the case against Amazon to stall out
And S. Korea has mostly been threats, or attacks on foreign companies. There haven’t been any meaningful anti-trust actions in S. Korea either.
At least the US is sort of fumbling along w/ anti-trust against Google. We’ll see how that plays out though.
