Tagahou, tajazhou and hello from your friends from SMCP.It is our pleasure and honor to congratulate The Korea Times on its 70th anniversary.Seventy years of news coverage. From your newspaper's founding, during the Korean War, through South Korea's transition from a dictatorship to the thriving democracy it is today. That is certainly worth celebrating.
Apologia for the past
On its Oct. 9 edition, The Korea Times posted Peter Yoonsuk Paik's “Mass man” and the destruction of the West's civilization heritage. It was a nice, thoughtful article and gives a bit of clarity to the issue. He cites Jose Ortega y Gasset, a philosopher from Spain, who attempts to provide an answer for the fury of youth today and their attack on our past. For all Ortega's reasoning he was only half-right for he neglected the moral, ethical, virtuous, righteous, and noble standards that many have thrown out the window.

China's human rights abuses slammed in key UN committees
Beijing's widening human rights and political crackdowns in both Xinjiang Province and Hong Kong have underscored the People's Republic of China's Pavlovian reaction involving any opposition towards the ruling communist regime. Though suppressing religious and political dissent is nothing new on the Chinese mainland, its scope and intensity has deepened under Chairman Xi Jinping's hardline personalist rule.
Naver's foul play
Naver, the nation's biggest search engine, has been dealt a heavy blow by the government's antitrust agency for allegedly manipulating search algorithms in favor of the company's online shopping site. The Korea Fair Trade Commission said Tuesday it had discovered Naver made such algorithmic changes at least six times between 2012 and 2015 and imposed a fine of 26.7 billion won ($22.9 million) on the company along with a correction order.
Two months to US election
With under two months remaining before the U.S. presidential election, it's quite interesting to visit YouTube and type three simple words: “black,” “support,” and “Trump.” You'll find video after video of Black Americans speaking in support of the president and against the Democrats. The likes that these videos garner and comments in the comment section are revealing. While certainly not a majority, a sizable percentage of blacks in the U.S. no longer buy the “Trump is a racist” mythology.
