The Flu, a South Korean disaster film from 2013, is reviewed by Collin in this week's History From The Back Pages. The film's plot centers on a viral epidemic that affects Busan, and only emergency response team member Ji Gu can rescue South Korean citizens from imminent demise.

Sorry, Spookies, we didn't mean to pick a flick that was impossible to see in theaters — but if you can manage to hunt down a showing of Cold Storage (2026) near you, it's definitely worth the watch. Starring Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, and Liam Neeson, this horror comedy tackles the zombie genre in ways that are both familiar and fresh. With CLEAR references to films like The Return of the Living Dead, Train to Busan, and Alien, David Koepp's smart new book-turned-screenplay is very much in conversation with the genre, and we're pointing out parallels and parsing the different kinds of pastries on a new Spooky Tuesday.

President Xi Jinping talked with United States President Donald Trump by phone on Wednesday, saying that he stands ready to continue working with his US counterpart to guide the giant ship of China-US ties through wind and waves for a steady voyage in the new year, and do more big, good things together.While the US side has its concerns, and the Chinese side has its own concerns as well, solutions can be found to address each other's concerns as long as both sides move toward each other in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, Xi said.The phone conversation was the first interaction between the two leaders in 2026. In the past year, Xi and Trump held four phone calls and exchanged multiple messages, and the two leaders also met successfully in Busan, South Korea, in October.Xi said that this year, both China and the US have a number of important agendas.While China is entering the first year of its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, the US will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding, he noted, adding that the two countries will also respectively host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting and the Group of 20 Summit.Xi said that the two sides should act on the common understandings they have reached, strengthen dialogue and communication, properly manage differences and expand practical cooperation.Citing an ancient Chinese adage that "an act of kindness, no matter how trivial, is worth performing, while an act of evil, no matter how small, must be shunned", Xi called on China and the US to work through things step by step and constantly build mutual trust to forge the right way of getting along with each other.The two countries can make 2026 a year in which China and the US, as two major countries, move toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, Xi said.Regarding the Taiwan question, Xi told Trump that it is the most important issue in China-US relations.The Taiwan region is part of China's territory, and China must safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will never allow Taiwan to be separated from the country, Xi said, urging the US to handle the issue of arms sales to Taiwan with utmost prudence.After the phone call, Trump wrote in a social media posting that he had "just completed an excellent telephone conversation with President Xi of China. It was a long and thorough call", and many important subjects were discussed.Trump said in the phone call that the US and China are both great countries, and the US-China relationship is by far the most important in the world.He noted that he has a great relationship with President Xi and that he has a lot of respect for him. Under the guidance of the two leaders, the US and China are doing well in the areas of economy and trade, Trump said.Trump said he wants to see China succeed, and the US would like to work with China to make more progress in bilateral ties.The US president said he understands how China feels about the Taiwan question, adding that he would like the two sides to continue talking with each other and keep the relationship in good shape during his presidency.practical cooperation /ˈpræktɪkəl koʊˌɑːpəˈreɪʃən/务实合作peaceful coexistence /ˈpiːsfəl ˌkoʊɪɡˈzɪstəns/和平共处win-win cooperation /ˌwɪn ˈwɪn koʊˌɑːpəˈreɪʃən/合作共赢national sovereignty /ˈnæʃnəl ˈsɑːvrənti/国家主权APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting /ˈeɪpek ˌiːkəˈnɑːmɪk ˈliːdərz/亚太经合组织领导人会议G20 Summit /ˌdʒiː ˈtwenti ˈsʌmɪt/二十国集团峰会

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Secret Soiree at the Busan Naval Base: A Night of Defiance Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2025-12-31-08-38-20-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 해가 질 무렵, 기지의 바람은 차가웠다.En: As the sun was setting, the wind at the base was cold.Ko: 밤하늘엔 코발트색 구름이 흩어져 있었다.En: Cobalt-colored clouds were scattered across the night sky.Ko: 지금은 부산 해군 기지에 있는 것만으로도 육체적으로나 정신적으로 생생한 긴장감을 느낄 수 있었다.En: Just being at the Busan naval base made one feel a vivid tension, both physically and mentally.Ko: 지수는 여러 개의 두툼한 외투를 껴입고 쓰러질 것 같은 눈으로 기지를 둘러보았다.En: Jisoo bundled up in several thick coats and looked around the base with weary eyes.Ko: "오늘 밤만큼은 팀원들을 위한 무언가를 하고 싶다," 그녀는 혼잣말을 했다.En: "Just for tonight, I want to do something for my team," she murmured to herself.Ko: 이곳은 부산 해군 기지.En: This was the Busan naval base.Ko: 부서진 콘크리트와 강철이 조화를 이루며 차갑고 송곳 같은 바람이 계속 몸을 휘감았다.En: Broken concrete and steel harmonized as the cold, piercing wind continued to wrap around the body.Ko: 이곳 모든 장병이 규칙을 철저히 지켜야 한다는 것은 너무나도 당연한 사실이었다.En: It was a given that everyone here had to strictly follow the rules.Ko: 하지만 지수는 올해는 달랐으면 했다.En: However, Jisoo wished this year could be different.Ko: 지수는 몇 달 동안 열심히 일해왔고 그녀의 팀도 마찬가지였다.En: Jisoo had been working hard for months, along with her team.Ko: 그는 이 어려운 시기에 많은 동료들에게 작은 기쁨을 주고 싶었다.En: She wanted to bring a small joy to many of her colleagues during these tough times.Ko: 그리고 바로 그 이유로 미준과 대양을 불렀다.En: And that's why she called Mijun and Daeyang.Ko: "미준, 대양, 우리 오늘 밤 비밀 파티를 열자," 지수가 말했다.En: "Mijun, Daeyang, let's throw a secret party tonight," Jisoo said.Ko: 미준은 깜짝 놀라며 눈이 휘둥그레졌다.En: Mijun was surprised and his eyes widened.Ko: "규칙인데... 하지만 재미있을 것같아."En: "It's against the rules... but it sounds fun."Ko: 대양은 긴장한 듯 시선을 둘러봤다.En: Daeyang looked around nervously.Ko: "하지만 어떻게 해요? 지켜야 할 사항이 많잖아요."En: "But how can we? There are so many rules to follow."Ko: 지수는 말없이 웃었다.En: Jisoo silently smiled.Ko: "우리는 공급 저장실을 이용할 거야. 미준, 넌 나를 도와 준비하자. 대양, 넌 바깥에서 지켜봐."En: "We'll use the supply storeroom. Mijun, you help me prepare. Daeyang, you keep watch outside."Ko: 야외 기온이 낮고 깜깜했지만, 세 사람의 얼굴에는 웃음이 가득했다.En: Even though the outdoor temperature was low and it was dark, their faces were full of smiles.Ko: 그들은 차근차근 계획을 세웠다.En: They slowly crafted a plan.Ko: 그리고 저녁 9시가 되었고, 그들은 모든 준비를 마쳤다.En: By 9 PM, they had completed all the preparations.Ko: 저장실은 작고 엉망이었지만, 사랑과 기대로 가득했다.En: The storeroom was small and messy, but it was filled with love and anticipation.Ko: "대양, 우리가 준비하는 동안 엿보는 대문 밖을 보고 있어," 미준이 손에 열쇠를 잡고 말했다.En: "Daeyang, keep an eye on the doorway while we set up," Mijun said, holding a key in his hand.Ko: 지수는 작은 라이트를 켰고,En: Jisoo turned on a small light.Ko: 그의 결정은 흔들리지 않았다.En: Her resolve was unwavering.Ko: 지수는 귤과 음료수를 준비해 두었다.En: She had prepared tangerines and drinks.Ko: 세 사람은 조그만 지하실에서 작은 희망을 만들어 냈다.En: The three of them created a small hope within the tiny basement.Ko: 카운트다운이 시작되고, 시계는 빠르게 11시 59분을 가리켰다.En: The countdown began, and the clock quickly pointed to 11:59.Ko: "10, 9, 8, 7..." 일행 셋은 입을 모았다.En: "10, 9, 8, 7..." the trio chanted in unison.Ko: 그런데, 문 소리가 나서 모두 고개를 돌렸다.En: Then, a sound came from the door, and they all turned their heads.Ko: 지휘관이었다.En: It was the commander.Ko: 방은 조용해졌다.En: The room fell silent.Ko: 누구 하나 숨도 쉬지 않았다.En: No one even dared to breathe.Ko: 하지만 지휘관의 얼굴에 미소가 번졌다.En: But a smile spread across the commander's face.Ko: "과거에 나도 이런 파티를 열곤 했어," 그는 회상하는 눈빛으로 말했다.En: "I used to hold parties like this in the past," he said with a reminiscing gaze.Ko: "계속해. 금지할 이유가 없어."En: "Continue. There's no reason to stop you."Ko: 지수와 그녀의 친구들은 안도의 한숨을 쉬었다.En: Jisoo and her friends breathed a sigh of relief.Ko: 모두 함께 잡은 손을 놓지 않았다.En: None of them let go of each other's hands.Ko: 규칙을 어긴 것은 불안했지만, 결과적으로 이들은 서로 더 가까워졌다.En: Although they were anxious about breaking the rules, in the end, they felt closer to one another.Ko: 감히 규칙의 경계를 넘어 본 보람이 있음을 느꼈다.En: They felt it was worth daring to cross the boundary of the rules.Ko: 새해는 새로운 희망을 안고 찾아왔다.En: The new year arrived, bearing new hopes.

President Xi Jinping has underlined the need for Beijing and Washington to maintain the momentum of the steady development of bilateral relations to strive for more positive progress, emphasizing that it is important for China and the United States to jointly safeguard the outcomes of the victory in World War II.国家主席习近平强调，中国和美国有必要保持双边关系稳步发展的势头，争取取得更多积极进展，并指出中美共同维护第二次世界大战胜利成果具有重要意义。Xi made the remarks during a telephone conversation with United States President Donald Trump on Monday evening.习近平是在周一晚与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通电话时作出上述表述的。Xi talked about his meeting with Trump in Busan, Republic of Korea, last month as well as the important consensuses they reached during that meeting, saying that they have recalibrated the course of the giant ship of China-US relations and provided more momentum for it to sail forward steadily, sending a positive signal to the world.习近平谈及上月在韩国釜山同特朗普总统的会晤及双方达成的重要共识，表示此次会晤为中美关系这艘“巨轮”重新校准了航向，为其稳健前行注入了新的动力，并向世界释放了积极信号。He said that since the Busan meeting, China-US relations have generally maintained a steady and positive trajectory, which has been welcomed by both countries as well as the international community.他说，自釜山会晤以来，中美关系总体保持稳定、向好的发展态势，受到两国以及国际社会的普遍欢迎。What has happened demonstrates yet again that the description of China-US cooperation benefiting both sides and confrontation hurting both sides reflects a common sense that has been repeatedly proved by experience, and the vision of China and the US helping each other succeed and prosper together is a tangible prospect within reach, Xi said.习近平表示，事实再次表明，中美合作对双方有利、对抗对双方不利，这一判断是被反复实践证明的常识；中美相互成就、共同繁荣并非遥不可及，而是切实可期的现实前景。He called for both countries to maintain this momentum, adhere to the correct direction, and uphold the attitude of equality, respect and mutual benefit.他呼吁双方保持当前发展势头，坚持正确方向，秉持平等、尊重、互利的态度。Both sides should lengthen the list of cooperation and shorten the list of problems, striving for more positive progress and creating new spaces for cooperation for China-US relations in order to benefit the people of both countries and the world, he added.他补充说，双方应不断拉长合作清单、缩短问题清单，争取取得更多积极成果，为中美关系开辟新的合作空间，更好造福两国人民和世界。Xi reiterated China's principled stance on the Taiwan question, emphasizing that Taiwan's return to China is an important part of the postwar international order.习近平重申了中方在台湾问题上的原则立场，强调台湾回归中国是战后国际秩序的重要组成部分。China and the US once stood together against fascism and militarism, and given what is going on, it is more important for them to jointly safeguard the results of the victory in World War II, he said.他说，中美曾并肩反对法西斯主义和军国主义，鉴于当前形势，双方更有必要共同维护第二次世界大战胜利成果。Trump said that President Xi is a great leader. He noted that he enjoyed the meeting with Xi in Busan and he fully agreed with Xi on his comments about bilateral relations.特朗普表示，习近平主席是一位伟大的领导人。他指出，自己非常享受在釜山与习近平主席的会晤，并完全赞同习近平关于双边关系的相关看法。He said that both sides are comprehensively implementing the important consensuses they reached at the Busan meeting.他说，双方正在全面落实釜山会晤期间达成的重要共识。The US acknowledges the significant role China played in the victory in World War II and understands the importance of the Taiwan question to China, Trump said.特朗普表示，美方承认中国在第二次世界大战胜利中发挥的重要作用，也理解台湾问题对中方的重要性。The two leaders also talked about the Ukraine crisis. Xi emphasized that China supports all efforts that are conducive to peace, and hopes that all parties will continue to narrow their differences to reach a fair, lasting and binding peace agreement to resolve the crisis at its root.两国领导人还就乌克兰危机交换了意见。习近平强调，中方支持一切有利于和平的努力，希望有关各方继续缩小分歧，达成公平、持久、有约束力的和平协议，从根本上解决危机。maintain the momentum /meɪnˈteɪn ðə məˈmentəm/保持势头outcomes of the victory in World War II/ˈaʊtkʌmz əv ðə ˈvɪktəri ɪn ˌwɜːrld wɔːr tuː/二战胜利成果principled stance /ˈprɪnsəpld stæns/原则立场postwar international order/ˌpoʊstˈwɔːr ˌɪntərˈnæʃənl ˈɔːrdər/战后国际秩序fair, lasting and binding peace agreement/fer ˈlæstɪŋ ænd ˈbaɪndɪŋ piːs əˈɡriːmənt/公平、持久、有约束力的和平协议

China criticized the latest United States National Defense Authorization Act on Thursday, saying it blatantly interferes in China's internal affairs and sends a seriously wrong signal to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.中国周四批评美国最新通过的《国防授权法案》，称该法案公然干涉中国内政，并向“台独”分裂势力释放出严重错误的信号。Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for China's Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks at a news conference in response to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, which was signed last week by US President Donald Trump.中国国防部新闻发言人张晓刚是在新闻发布会上就2026财年《国防授权法案》作出上述表态的。该法案已于上周由美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署。The act includes multiple provisions related to China and allocates about $1 billion for the so-called "Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative," aimed at enhancing arms sales to China's Taiwan region.该法案包含多项涉华条款，并拨款约10亿美元用于所谓的“台湾安全合作倡议”，旨在加强对中国台湾地区的武器出售。Zhang said the law constitutes blatant interference in China's internal affairs and gravely undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.张晓刚表示，该法案公然干涉中国内政，严重破坏台海地区的和平与稳定。He accused the US of reneging on its commitments by intensifying arms sales to Taiwan, noting that such actions will only embolden "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and push the Taiwan Strait closer to danger and war.他指责美方不断加大对台军售，背弃自身承诺，指出此类行为只会助长“台独”分裂势力的嚣张气焰，将台海局势推向更加危险甚至战争的边缘。Zhang also criticized Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities for "sacrificing the interests of the Taiwan people" and allowing the US to "drain Taiwan dry" in pursuit of its own strategic goals.张晓刚还批评台湾民进党当局“牺牲台湾民众的利益”，纵容美国为实现自身战略目标而“榨干台湾”。"Attempts to use Taiwan to contain China are doomed to fail, and seeking 'independence' through force will only lead to self-destruction," Zhang said.“企图以台制华注定失败，妄图以武谋独只会自取灭亡。”张晓刚说。He urged the US to fully recognize the extreme sensitivity of the Taiwan question, strictly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, and handle Taiwan-related affairs "as cautiously as possible".他敦促美方充分认识台湾问题的高度敏感性，严格恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报，以“极其谨慎的态度”处理涉台问题。The spokesman urged the US to stop arming Taiwan in any form and to safeguard overall China-US relations and bilateral military ties.这位发言人呼吁美方停止以任何形式武装台湾，切实维护中美关系大局和两国两军关系。Also on Thursday, Xu Dong, spokesperson for the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, expressed strong dissatisfaction with and firm opposition to the newly signed act.同日，全国人大外事委员会发言人许东也对该法案的签署表示强烈不满和坚决反对。Xu said the act continued a long-standing tone of containing China, hyped the so-called "China threat", and constituted blatant interference in China's internal affairs, seriously undermining China's core interests.许东表示，该法案延续了遏制中国的一贯基调，渲染所谓“中国威胁论”，公然干涉中国内政，严重损害中国核心利益。"We hope the US side views China's development and China-US relations objectively and rationally, and works with China to implement the important consensus reached in the meeting between the two countries' heads of state in Busan," Xu said.“我们希望美方客观理性看待中国发展和中美关系，与中方一道落实两国元首在釜山会晤中达成的重要共识。”许东说。"We strongly urge the US to abandon its zero-sum mentality and ideological bias, and to refrain from implementing the China-related negative provisions in the bill," he added.“我们强烈敦促美方摒弃零和思维和意识形态偏见，停止落实法案中涉华的消极条款。”他补充道。He warned that if the US insists on going its own way, China will take resolute measures in accordance with the law to firmly safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.他警告称，如果美方一意孤行，中方将依法采取坚决措施，坚定维护国家主权、安全和发展利益。During the news conference, defense spokesman Zhang also slammed Taiwan's regional leader Lai Ching-te for what he described as "kowtowing to the US" and recklessly pursuing militarization, calling him "an instigator of war".在新闻发布会上，张晓刚还抨击台湾地区领导人赖清德“对美卑躬屈膝”，肆意推进军事化，称其为“战争的煽动者”。Lai recently told the media that Taiwan must pursue "peace through strength" and reaffirmed what he called a "rock-solid" relationship with the US, alongside plans to push forward a $40 billion arms procurement.赖清德近日对媒体表示，台湾必须追求“以实力谋和平”，并重申其所谓与美国“坚如磐石”的关系，同时计划推进一项400亿美元的军购计划。Zhang said Taiwan's DPP authorities are colluding with external forces in a bid to pursue "Taiwan independence", which he called the root cause of rising tensions across the Taiwan Strait.张晓刚表示，台湾民进党当局勾连外部势力，企图推动“台独”，这是当前台海紧张局势上升的根本原因。"Lai's unprincipled submission to the US and his reckless pursuit of militarization have turned him into nothing more than a pure destroyer of peace and an instigator of war," Zhang said.“赖清德毫无原则地向美国屈服、肆意推进军事化，使其沦为纯粹的和平破坏者和战争煽动者。”张晓刚说。"Lai now has the audacity to talk about 'peace' while arrogantly boasting about 'strength', a stance that is both delusional and self-deceiving," the spokesman added.这位发言人补充说：“赖清德一边狂妄鼓吹所谓‘实力'，一边却空谈‘和平'，这种立场既荒谬又自欺欺人。”"The trend toward national reunification is unstoppable," Zhang said. "Those who betray the nation and seek to split the country will ultimately be condemned by history."“国家统一的大势不可阻挡。”张晓刚说，“背叛民族、分裂国家的人终将被历史所唾弃。”blatantly interfere in/ˈbleɪtəntli ˌɪntəˈfɪə(r) ɪn/公然干涉reneg(e) on commitments/rɪˈnɪɡ ɒn kəˈmɪtmənts/背弃承诺arms sales/ɑːmz seɪlz/武器出售/军售three China-US joint communiques/θriː ˈdʒɔɪnt kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪz/中美三个联合公报zero-sum mentality/ˌzɪərəʊ sʌm menˈtæləti/零和思维militarization/ˌmɪlɪtəraɪˈzeɪʃn/军事化instigator of war/ˈɪnstɪɡeɪtə(r) əv wɔː/战争煽动者

"Oasis of Now" (Ốc Đảo Của Hiện Tại ) không chỉ là một chiến thắng cá nhân cho đạo diễn Chee Sum Chia, mà còn là niềm tự hào của điện ảnh Malaysia khi giành được giải thưởng cao nhất New Currents Award tại Liên hoan phim Quốc tế Busan năm 2023. Thế nhưng điều đáng chú ý là câu chuyện xoay quanh một phụ nữ Việt Nam đang sống tạm bợ tại Malaysia không có giấy tờ hợp pháp.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 부산의 마음| Busan, Memories, and 마음 (Heart): A Conversation With Mr. Kim Seohan | Episode 35 (2025)Some friendships don't arrive with fireworks; they arrive quietly, like a warm breeze on an unfamiliar coastline. That's what meeting Seohan was like for me. This episode is a gentle, honest look at how unexpected connections can shape how we survive, grow, and soften while living far from home.In today's conversation, recorded in Busan, South Korea, Seohan and I revisit the story of our friendship—one that began in Oklahoma, deepened over food and laughter, and quietly carried us through awkward transitions, cultural differences, and the strange tenderness of young adulthood. We talk about what it meant to be two immigrants navigating loneliness and identity in a place that looked nothing like any version of home we knew.We reflect on the early days of shyness, the way vulnerability opened doors, and how the simplest gestures, a ride, a shared meal, a late-night conversation, can become anchors during life abroad. There's an honesty to our friendship that makes this episode feel like sitting on a porch at sunset, listening to two old friends remember who they were before life scattered them to different continents.You'll hear stories about fear, courage, language, faith, and what it means to love people with intentionality. But more than anything, this episode is a reminder that God sometimes sends us the right people at the right time, not to stay forever, but to shape us in ways we only understand years later.If you've ever lived abroad, healed abroad, or reinvented yourself far away from everything familiar…this one will sit close to your heart.Listen, breathe, and maybe text that friend who walked you through a season you didn't have words for.

Going back to maybe the best Super Hero movie of all time!

This week on Sinica, I welcome back Finbarr Bermingham, the Brussels-based Europe correspondent for the South China Morning Post, about the Nexperia dispute — one of the most revealing episodes in the global contest over semiconductor supply chains. Nexperia, a Dutch-headquartered chipmaker owned by Shanghai-listed Wingtech, became the subject of extraordinary government intervention when the Netherlands invoked a Cold War-era emergency law to seize temporary control of the company and suspend its Chinese CEO. Finbarr's reporting, drawing on Dutch court documents and expert sources, has illuminated the tangled threads of this story: preexisting concerns about governance and technology transfer, mounting U.S. pressure on The Hague to remove Chinese management, and the timing of the Dutch action on the very day the U.S. rolled out its affiliate rule. We discuss China's retaliatory export controls on chips packaged at Nexperia's Dongguan facilities, the role of the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan in unlocking a temporary thaw, and what this case reveals about Europe's agonizing position between American pressure and Chinese integration in global production networks.4:34 – Why the "Europe cracks down on Chinese acquisition" framing was too simple 6:17 – The Dutch court's extraordinary tick-tock of events and U.S. lobbying 9:04 – The June pressure from Washington: divestment or the affiliate list 10:13 – Dutch fears of production know-how relocating to China 12:35 – The impossible position: damned if they did, damned if they didn't 14:46 – The obscure Cold War-era Goods Availability Act 17:11 – CEO Zhang Xuezheng and the question of who stopped cooperating first 19:26 – Was China's export control a state policy or a corporate move? 22:16 – Europe's de-risking framework and the lessons from Nexperia 25:39 – The fragmented European response: Germany, France, Hungary, and the Baltics 30:31 – Did Germany shape the response behind the scenes? 33:06 – The Trump-Xi meeting in Busan and the resolution of the crisis 37:01 – Will the Nexperia case deter future European interventions? 40:28 – Is Europe still an attractive market for Chinese investment? 41:59 – The Europe China Forum: unusually polite in a time of tenterhooksPaying it forward: Dewey Sim (SCMP diplomacy desk, Beijing); Coco Feng (SCMP technology, Guangdong); Khushboo Razdan (SCMP North America); Sense Hofstede (Chinese Bossen newsletter)Recommendations: Finbarr: Chokepoints by Edward Fishman; Underground Empire by Henry Farrell and Abe Newman; "What China Wants from Europe" by John Delury (Engelsberg Ideas) Kaiser: The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan and Milady (2023 French film adaptation)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Seoul Station, a prequel to the beloved South Korean zombie horror film Train to Busan, tells a harrowing story of a zombie outbreak affecting a particularly vulnerable population: the homeless who've taken refuge in Seoul Station. Ghouls dive into this animated film, which features a very overt message that effectively spells out an unexpected story.

On October 30, US President Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping met in Busan, South Korea. It was their first face-to-face meeting in 6 years. There was a lot at stake in this meeting for the US and China, as well as for the rest of the world. In my view, the outcome is best described as a fragile truce. The path forward for US-China relations remains uncertain – greater stability and predictability is possible, but not assured. Intense competition across several domains, especially technology, is likely.Today's episode focuses on the Trump-Xi summit and the future of US-China relations, featuring Mr. Dennis Wilder. Dennis is a senior fellow for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues at Georgetown University, where he previously served as the managing director, and assistant professor of the practice in Asian studies in the School of Foreign Service. He served on President George W. Bush's NSC first as director for China and then as senior director for Asian Affairs. He also had a distinguished career in the CIA, where he held many positions, the last of which was senior editor of the Presidential Daily Brief.  Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[1:57] Trump-Xi Summit: A Win for China? [09:03] Fact Sheet Discrepancies [14:37] Trump Administration's China Strategy[16:47] Achieving Chinese Exceptionalism[19:20] China's Confidence and Potential Instability[21:26] Why No Taiwan Mention? [24:48] An Inflection Point for Greater Stability? [27:50] Indo-Pacific View of the US-China Relationship

Tune in to another episode of Give The People What They Want! with Peoples Dispatch editor Zoe Alexandra, Indian journalist Prasanth R, and Roger McKenzie, international editor of the Morning Star. This week, they discuss the victory of Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor elections, the RSF capture of El Fasher in Sudan, disputed elections and popular protests in Tanzania and Cameroon, Trump's threats to Nigeria over allegations of “Christian genocide” as well as updates from the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan, South Korea.

This week on Sinica, I chat with Lizzi Lee, a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute and one of the sharpest China analysts working today. We dig into the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Party Congress and what it reveals about China's evolving growth model — particularly the much-discussed but often misunderstood push against "involution" in key sectors like EVs and solar. Lizzi walks us through the structural incentives driving overcompetition, from local government finance and VAT collection to the challenges of rebalancing supply and demand. We also discuss her recent Foreign Affairs piece on China's manufacturing model, why "overcapacity" is a misleading frame, the unexpected upsides of China's industrial strategy for the global green transition, and what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan. This is a conversation about getting beyond the binaries and understanding the actual mechanisms — and contradictions — shaping China's economic trajectory.4:43 – What Western reporting missed in the 4th Plenum communique 6:34 – The "anti-involution" push and what it really means 9:57 – Is China's domestic demand abnormally low?

C dans l'air du 5 novembre 2025 : En dépit du tollé et du scandale suscités par la vente de poupées sexuelles à caractère pédopornographique sur son site, le géant de l'e-commerce asiatique Shein a ouvert ce mercredi sa première boutique physique et permanente au BHV, à Paris. Une première mondiale pour la marque de fast-fashion, qui revendique 25 millions de clients en France.Plusieurs dizaines de personnes avaient fait la queue dans la matinée devant l'entrée principale du grand magasin, par « curiosité » ou parce que « c'est moins cher ». « Shein, non merci », pouvaient lire les passants de l'autre côté de la rue, en haut de l'Hôtel de Ville, sous la fenêtre de l'élu écologiste – et candidat à la mairie de Paris – David Belliard.Cette ouverture, « à la veille du salon du Made in France, en ce mois du Made in France, est une provocation », avait affirmé lundi le PDG du groupe Système U sur le plateau de C dans l'air. C'est « une erreur stratégique » et « un danger », a déploré ce mercredi le ministre de la Ville, Vincent Jeanbrun, sur TF1. Son collègue chargé de l'Industrie, Sébastien Martin, a, lui, dénoncé sur Public Sénat chez Shein « une stratégie (…) d'agressivité qui est aussi une politique d'attaque de nos valeurs », tout en pointant du doigt, en creux, le BHV.Face à la tempête, Frédéric Merlin assume son choix : « J'aimerais relever l'hypocrisie générale : on parle d'une marque achetée par 25 millions de Français. » L'homme d'affaires a également avancé un argument choc pour défendre sa stratégie commerciale : « Quand j'ouvre un Primark dans un centre commercial, avec des prix équivalents à ceux de Shein et des produits fabriqués dans les mêmes usines, ce qui fonctionne autour, c'est le premium. »En début d'après-midi, le gouvernement a annoncé « une procédure de suspension » de la plateforme, à la suite du scandale des poupées à caractère pédopornographique. L'exécutif a précisé qu'« un premier point d'étape devra être fait par les ministres dans les 48 prochaines heures ».L'arrivée de la plateforme, fondée en 2012 en Chine et désormais basée à Singapour, cristallise aussi les tensions autour de la régulation du commerce en ligne et de la mode jetable ultra-éphémère. Élus, associations et acteurs du secteur textile français ont fustigé son implantation dans l'Hexagone. En cause : la mauvaise qualité, la dangerosité et parfois même l'illégalité de certains produits vendus sur la plateforme.Des députés ont annoncé le dépôt prochain d'une proposition de résolution transpartisane européenne, actuellement en cours de rédaction, afin de demander à Bruxelles et au gouvernement français de se montrer plus sévères à l'égard de Shein, devenu le symbole de l'impuissance publique face à la déferlante des produits « made in China » en Europe.Aux États-Unis, Donald Trump a signé mardi un texte, diffusé par la Maison-Blanche, qui abaisse de 20 % à 10 % une surtaxe douanière imposée sur de nombreux produits chinois, en représailles à l'action jugée insuffisante de Pékin contre le trafic de fentanyl et d'autres opioïdes vers les États-Unis. Cette baisse était prévue dans un accord récemment scellé à Busan, en Corée du Sud, entre le président américain et son homologue chinois Xi Jinping. Le président des États-Unis, qui avait menacé d'annuler son sommet d'aujourd'hui avec le numéro un chinois – leur première rencontre depuis 2019 – et d'imposer 100 % de droits de douane, a été contraint de reculer, Pékin ayant déployé sa carte maîtresse : le contrôle des terres rares.LES EXPERTS :- NICOLAS BOUZOU - Économiste – Directeur fondateur du cabinet de conseil Asterès et chroniqueur à L'Express - SYLVIE MATELLY - Économiste, directrice de l'Institut Jacques Delors et auteure de Géopolitique de l'économie - VALÉRIE NIQUET - Spécialiste de la Chine - Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique- LUCIE ROBEQUAIN - Directrice de la rédaction - La Tribune &nb

Donald Trump y Xi Jinping se reunieron el pasado jueves en Busan, Corea del Sur, durante la cumbre de APEC tras seis años y cuatro meses sin verse. Aprovecharon el encuentro para acordar una tregua temporal de un año en su guerra comercial, sin alcanzar un acuerdo formal, pero reduciendo algunas contramedidas mutuas. Esto deja la relación comercial entre EEUU y China ligeramente peor que hace un año, aunque más tensa de lo que sería deseable. La mayoría de los detalles provienen de Trump, que habló con periodistas en el Air Force One de regreso a Washington y publicó un extenso post en su red social. El comunicado chino fue más breve, pero confirmó algunos puntos mencionados por Trump. Ambas partes pactaron pausar nuevas hostilidades comerciales durante un año dejando abierta la renegociación de aranceles. Estados Unidos reducirá en 10 puntos porcentuales sus aranceles a China —a cambio de la promesa de Xi de perseguir la producción de precursores de fentanilo—, quedando el arancel efectivo promedio en el 47 % para la mayoría de productos chinos. Es alto, superior a los de otros socios comerciales de EEUU, pero inferior a los aranceles punitivos de hace unos meses. China reanudará las compras de soja estadounidense, un alivio sin duda para el sector agrícola que había perdido a uno de sus mejores clientes. El secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, anunció que China adquirirá 12 millones de toneladas métricas este año y un mínimo de 25 millones anuales durante los próximos tres. Aunque trae cierto respiro, los volúmenes están por debajo de ventas pasadas y no representan un retorno a la normalidad. En energía Trump aseguró que China comprará petróleo y gas provenientes de Alaska, donde hay un proyecto en desarrollo aún no construido. El comunicado chino solo menciona cooperación en energía sin detalles específicos. Los analistas lo ven como un gesto político, similar a otros compromisos obtenidos mediante amenazas comerciales a la UE y Corea del Sur. Sobre el tema de las tierras raras, es sabido que China emplea su dominio como arma desde hace tiempo. Se han comprometido a suspender durante un año los controles de exportación anunciados el pasado de 9 de octubre, pero no a las restricciones previas ni se eliminan las licencias de exportación. China, en definitiva, mantiene esta palanca estratégica. Ambas partes suspenderán las tasas portuarias impuestas recientemente, pero eso es más una concesión estadounidense, ya que sus buques apenas operan en puertos chinos. No se discutió nada relativo a los chips de Nvidia. EEUU mantiene los controles de exportación por motivos de seguridad nacional. Tampoco se mencionó el asunto de Taiwán, pero si hablaron de Ucrania. Trump cree que China, principal apoyo de Rusia, puede ayudar a traer la paz. En esencia es un apretón de manos, no un acuerdo definitivo. Los detalles son vagos y reversibles. La vaguedad implica fragilidad. Hoy por hoy EEUU depende más de China, especialmente con las tierras raras. Los aranceles son la principal herramienta de Trump, pero ya no es tan efectiva como antes. Si Trump ha accedido a relajar las tensiones comerciales se debe sin duda a que quiere evitar problemas económicos en pleno año electoral;. La asimetría es clara: Xi Jinping no tiene que rendir cuentas, Trump si. Las guerras comerciales son una mala idea contra un adversario poderoso. China decidió contraatacar y Trump subestimó su capacidad de respuesta. Librarlas sin aliados es un error. Sin ellos y sin una estrategia diferente este armisticio durará poco.

President Donald Trump announced a trade truce with Chinese President Xi Jinping after a 90-minute meeting in Busan, South Korea, on Thursday. But what actually came out of the truce seems… less than meets the eye. According to Axios, Trump reduced tariffs against China in exchange for promises from the Chinese president to buy American soybeans and oil. However, the deal appears to be largely temporary, with few actual binding details that would make it any different from those made during Trump's first term in office or even earlier this year. So for more details on the trade truce and Trump's Asia trip, I spoke to Evan Madeiros. He's the Penner Family Chair in Asia studies at Georgetown University with a focus on East Asia and US-China relations.And in headlines, Immigration and Customs Enforcement refuses to cease operations during Halloween festivities in Chicago, the Trump administration restricts the amount of refugees it will allow into the US every year, and Trump administration officials held a classified briefing on the president's escalating boat-strike campaign – but only invited Republicans.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's poem is Night of the Living, Night of the Dead by Kim Addonizio.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “It might surprise you to know that one of my favorite genres is the zombie movie. I like my zombies fast, like in ‘Train to Busan' and ‘28 Days Later,' and I like my zombies slow, like in the old classics directed by George Romero. In ‘Night of the Living Dead,' the zombies shamble so slowly, people can run right by them. They seem unable to figure out doorknobs and fence latches and cars. It's black-and-white, so the gore isn't that gory: the blood and guts are gray, after all! It's still scary, though—because the zombies are seemingly uncontainable. They just keep coming at you. Today's poem has been a favorite of mine for years, and it seemed like the right choice for Halloween.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

As the U.S. Senate breaks ranks with Donald Trump over his sweeping global tariffs, the former president claims victory in a high-stakes meeting with China's Xi Jinping. But is the so-called “Busan truce” really a peace deal—or just a pause in a long economic war? Independent media has never been more important.

What do you do when your favorite creator, YouTuber, or tiktoker stops posting? They just completely disappear. No warning, no community post. Just gone. Are you convinced they are sick?That they're just taking a break and coming back? Usually the first two are the natural internet reactions especially when creators go missing for too long. Sometimes the real reason is lot scarier than that… Mamaguy, a Korean tiktoker swears that it wasn't him who roundhouse kicked the woman in Busan on the CCTV. He swears that's NOT the reason why he took a few years off from the public eye. Which, to be fair, is true. The real assaulter who went viral for randomly round-housing a woman was found and charged with 20 years in prison. So then why was ‘Mamaguy,' absent from social media? Absent from society as a whole? Sometimes when creators go missing online it's completely nothing. They're taking a break. Or just decided to stop making content. Maybe they're burnt out. Or, it could be much more sinister than that.    Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

John Fawcett breaks down today's top stories, including President Trump's recent meeting with China's Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Xi Jinping and Donald Trump have held their first face-to-face talks in six years in a moment of high trade tension between China and the US.Mr Trump hailed an "amazing" meeting with his Chinese counterpart, but Beijing was less effusive. Thursday's talks did not lead to a formal agreement but the announcements suggest they are closer to a deal. We'll try to work out what has been sorted out at the talks in South Korea.Also in the programme: The latest mass killings in Sudan spark international outrage, with the RSF rebel leader promising an immediate investigation into the actions of his troops; the Dutch election is a neck-and-neck race between centrist liberals and anti-Islam populists; and five more suspects have been arrested over the Louvre museum jewellery heist.(Photo shows US president Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping shake hands in Busan, South Korea on 30 October 2025.

Si è tenuto a Busan, in Corea del Sud, l'attesissimo incontro tra i due presidenti, il primo dal 2019. Dopo aver discusso di dazi, lotta al Fentanyl e soia, Trump e Xi si sono dati appuntamento a marzo: "Segno che c'è la volontà di approfondire l'intesa", secondo il giornalista Lorenzo Lamperti.

Nel terzo trimestre 2025 il Pil italiano, corretto per gli effetti di calendario, è rimasto invariato rispetto al trimestre precedente e in crescita dello 0,4% su base annua, secondo le stime preliminari dell'Istat. Dopo il -0,1% del secondo trimestre e il +0,3% del primo, la crescita zero non modifica la stima acquisita per l'anno, pari allo 0,5%, in linea con le previsioni del governo. L'aumento del valore aggiunto nell'agricoltura è stato compensato dal calo dell'industria e dalla stabilità dei servizi. Dal lato della domanda, contributo negativo della componente interna e positivo di quella estera netta. Affrontiamo il tema con Carlo Altomonte, Associate Dean e Direttore PNRR Lab, SDA Bocconi, e membro CD Fondazione M&MLa Bce lascia i tassi fermi al 2%, come da atteseLa Bce, riunita a Firenze, ha mantenuto invariati i tassi: 2% sui depositi, 2,15% sui rifinanziamenti principali e 2,40% sui prestiti marginali. L'inflazione resta vicina al target del 2% e le prospettive restano stabili, sebbene il contesto globale resti incerto per le tensioni geopolitiche e commerciali. Lagarde ha sottolineato che l'economia continua a mostrare resilienza grazie al mercato del lavoro e alla solidità dei bilanci privati. La crescita dello 0,2% nell'area euro nel terzo trimestre è risultata leggermente sopra le attese. La presidente ha inoltre annunciato l'avvio della nuova fase dell'euro digitale, che garantirà privacy, sicurezza e competitività nei pagamenti. Il commento è affidato a Donato Masciandaro, docente politiche monetarie Università BocconiBorse Ue restano in rosso dopo nulla di fatto Bce. A Wall Street giù Meta e MicrosoftI listini europei chiudono in calo dopo la decisione della Bce di lasciare i tassi invariati e in una settimana intensa per le trimestrali e le banche centrali globali. A Wall Street pesano le vendite su Meta (-11,8%) e Microsoft, penalizzate dalle previsioni di maggiori investimenti in IA, mentre Alphabet sale grazie ai ricavi pubblicitari. In Europa, la crescita del Pil del terzo trimestre è risultata leggermente superiore alle attese (+0,2% nell'eurozona, +0,3% nell'Ue), trainata da Francia e Spagna. A Piazza Affari bene Campari e Tenaris, male Prysmian e Stellantis (-10,1%), colpita dai dubbi sul futuro outlook e dalle incertezze legate alla crisi dei semiconduttori. Affrontiamo il tema con Martina Soligo, RadiocorVertice Usa-Cina, Trump: «Taglio ai dazi e accordo sulle terre rare»Donald Trump e Xi Jinping si sono incontrati a Busan raggiungendo un accordo per dimezzare i dazi statunitensi sui prodotti cinesi e rilanciare le esportazioni di soia americana, terre rare e controlli sul fentanyl. Trump ha inoltre annunciato la ripresa dei test sulle armi nucleari, sostenendo di voler mantenere il primato militare Usa. Pechino sospenderà per un anno i limiti all'export di alcune terre rare, sebbene restino in vigore restrizioni introdotte in aprile. L'intesa avrà ripercussioni dirette sull'Unione Europea, come sottolineato dal commissario Ue al Commercio Maros Sefcovic. Ne parliamo con Marco Masciaga, Il Sole 24 Ore, New Delhi

This week, our look at Horror around the globe, continues as we stop in Korea to take the Train To Busan. Sok-woo, and his daughter, Soo-ahn, (who he doesn't have much time for) are boarding the KTX, a high-speed train that will bring them from Seoul to Soo-ahn's mother in Busan. But during their journey, the apocalypse breaks out, and most of the earth's population become flesh craving zombies. While the KTX is speeding towards Busan, the passenger's fight for their lives against the zombies - and each other.

Glenn Beck Special. Digital ID & Religious Persecution: New Globalist Plans to ENSLAVE You. We're at a crossroads — freedom or total control. We see it in the U.K., where people are thrown in jail for waving their flag or sharing a meme. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's push for digital IDs is just the latest piece of a control-freak puzzle that's been coming together for years, with nudges from the U.N. and World Economic Forum. Award-winning journalist Alex Newman tells Glenn Beck that the survival of freedom depends on stopping this agenda before it's too late. But it's not just the Brits who are slaves to global elites — Glenn Beck points out how governments worldwide are racing toward totalitarianism. He shares a jaw-dropping story from South Korea, where Reverend Son of Segero Church in Busan was arrested for calling out policies he saw as anti-biblical. His son Chance tells Glenn that just days before he was assassinated, Charlie Kirk promised to make Rev. Son's stance against the South Korean regime an international human rights issue. Chance calls on Americans to pick up Charlie's torch and remind the world what liberty looks like.   Watch this special at-  https://youtu.be/P468mrWI4UY?si=serQNpaHmz9bgbBd Glenn Beck 1.59M subscribers 69,710 views Premiered Oct 1, 2025 #glenntv #glennbeck #digitalid ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube:    / @blazetv   ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...
