U.S. to announce N.K. sanctions after legal process: White House
The White House said Monday that new sanctions on North Korea will be announced upon completion of a "legal process." U.S. President Donald Trump vowed last month to impose "additional major sanctions" on North Korea in response to its launch of a powerful new intercontinental ballistic missile. No announcement has been made yet. "We're working through a legal process," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said during a regular news briefing. "It's a little bit more complicated and once we get through that, we'll be able to walk through a little bit more detail on the reason for some of the delay."
S. Korea confirms highly pathogenic AI at duck farm

Economy, security to take center stage in Thursday’s Moon-Xi summit
President Moon Jae-in and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping will hold a bilateral summit meeting in Beijing on Thursday, Cheong Wa Dae said Monday. Moon, who will begin the four-day state visit to China on Wednesday, will be meeting with Xi for the third time, and discussions will focus on security issues and ways to improve bilateral ties, Cheong Wa Dae said. Seoul and Beijing, however, will not issue a joint statement in light of differences in the two sides’ positions on issues surrounding the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system.
Samsung to improve Galaxy S9 iris scanner: source
The iris scanner of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone Galaxy S9 will be improved to better recognize users’ eyes, a step that the firm hopes would solidify its lead in biometric verification technology for banking transactions.
Iris recognition is biometric identification that uses irises of an individual’s eyes, whose complex patterns are unique, stable, and can be seen from some distance. “Galaxy S9’s iris scanner will have an improved camera lens and functions to make it better to recognize the eyes of users,” a source familiar with the matter told The Korea Herald.

South Korea mulls all-out ban on Bitcoin transactions
South Korea is considering banning all kinds of cryptocurrency transactions in the country as a way to cool down the worldwide craze for digital currencies, the top financial regulator said Monday. "I don't see bitcoin transactions as financial deals," Financial Services Commission (FSC) Chairman Choi Jong-ku said in a luncheon meeting with reporters. "They are not institutionalized transactions. So the authorities never allow futures trading of such currencies."
Migrant workers make 64% of Korean workers' pay
Migrant workers are paid 64 percent that of Koreans ― which is the greatest pay gap between the two groups among OECD member states, according to a report. The report released by the Bank of Korea showed that putting domestic workers' pay at 100, migrant workers are paid 64 in Korea. The OECD average was 87. This is attributed to labor policies which have mostly accepted low-skilled workers on a temporary basis.
Korean version of Silicon Valley to open near Seoul
A Korean version of Silicon Valley in the U.S. will be built in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province, to nurture start-ups as the country's new growth engines. It aims at enabling anyone with innovative ideas to start their own business by providing one-stop full-support service. The government unveiled the blueprint for Pangyo Techno Valley II at an economy-related ministers' meeting held at Pangyo, southeastern Seoul, Monday. Innovative growth is one of the two main pillars of the Moon administration's economic policy along with income-led growth.

China urges S. Korea to address THAAD issue
“The deployment of the THAAD system in South Korea is an obstacle to China’s relations with the nation. Restoring the relationship would not be possible without first resolving THAAD issues thoroughly.”
Wei Wei, the vice president of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), was quoted as saying at the Korea-China Future Development Think Tank High-level Forum, which was held in Beijing on Monday. While the forum was designed to promote mutual understanding and amity between the two countries and discuss ways to improve their relations, the focal point of discussion was the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system.
‘Safeguards will cut sales of Korean washers by half,’ says ITC
The exports of washing machines produced by Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics to the United States will likely halve once the International Trade Commission (ITC)’s recommendation to initiate safeguards on foreign washing machines is adopted by the U.S. government, according to the analysis of the commission. The ITC submitted a report including its recommendation to introduce safeguards to U.S. President Donald Trump on last Monday.

The official state newspaper Rodong Sinmun reported on Saturday that Kim Jong Un scaled to the highest Janggun Peak of Mount Baekdu together with Choe Ryong Hae, a vice chairman of the regime’s ruling Workers’ Party.

North Korean regime pressures fishermen to take deadly risks in bid to increase yield
At 10:20 on the morning of Dec. 7, a Japanese Coast Guard ship was pulling a North Korean wooden fishing boat into Ryotsu Harbor on Sado Island, in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture. The boat that came into view was old and decrepit, hardly better than a rowboat. It looked slightly bigger than the boats used by hobby fisherman. It was hard to believe that such a ship was used for commercial fishing in the middle of the ocean. The 12 meter long fishing boat had been found around half past six that morning, tangled up in fishing nets. The prow of the boat said, “August and September are the months for preventing boating accidents.” Below that was written, “Korean People’s Army Unit ×××, Boat Number 594-56843, Cho Cheon-il, manager.”
Nepotism remains prevalent at Korean chaebols
The offspring of founding families won swift promotions in yet another round of chaebol executive appointments this year. Some of the third-generation descendants became “star” executives within four years of joining the company, while others rose up the corporate ladder six times faster than the executives promoted alongside them. Critics charge that descendants with unproven abilities are being recklessly promoted in order to speed inheritance of management rights. A Dec. 10 examination of data on year-end appointments for major chaebol companies showed Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) senior executive director Chung Ki-sun, the 35-year-old oldest son of ASAN Foundation chairman Chung Mong-joon, being promoted to HHI vice president and Hyundai Global Service CEO.
UN Undersecretary-General arrives in Beijing after North Korea visit
UN Undersecretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman arrived in Beijing on Dec. 9 following a five-day visit to North Korea. In a press release, the UN announced that Feltman and senior North Korean officials “agreed that the current situation [on the Korean Peninsula] was the most tense and dangerous peace and security issue in the world today.” North Korean Central News Agency reported the same day that Feltman and the officials had “held talks on topics of mutual interest, including the cooperative relationship between [North Korea] and the UN, cooperation with UN organizations, and the political situation on the [Korean] Peninsula.”

Bitcoin’s peaks and valleys are craziest in Korea
The price of bitcoin in Korea went on a wild rollercoaster ride over the weekend, losing as much as 40 percent in value at one point. Behind the convulsions were a number of factors triggering investor panic, including a scam perpetrated by a high school student. Bitcoin’s global price enjoyed a fantastic run last week, going from around $11,000 on Monday to as high as $18,000 on Friday. But it dropped as low as $13,000 on Sunday, around a 25 percent fall. The price swings were more violent in Korea than on other cryptocurrency markets in other countries.
Moon is in for tough talks in Beijing with Xi
Leaders of Korea and China will not issue a joint statement after a summit later this week, a senior Blue House official said Monday, an admission that President Moon Jae-in will face some tough talk when he meets Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. “The two countries are not in a situation to present a mutually acceptable position on a pending issue,” a senior Blue House official said Monday. “Therefore, we decided not to issue a joint statement after the summit.” Area Defense (Thaad) missile shield in Korea.
26 ‘comfort women’ sent to south Pacific isles
At least 26 Korean girls and women were stranded on an island in the South Pacific to serve as sex slaves for Japanese naval forces during World War II, local authorities said Monday.

"Quick Steps" in Rooting out Problematic People, While Reforms to the System Remain in Place
The impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye provided an opportunity to drill out the long-established bad practices put in place during nine years of a conservative government. The Moon Jae-in government, which launched with the support of the candlelight people, presented the eradication of long-established irregularities as its key state task. The government aimed to right a state power system gone awry. Its efforts were divided in two directions: holding people responsible and changing the system.
A Closer Look into the Welfare Budget Cut by 1 Trillion Won: 220 Billion won Cut from "Moon Jae-in Care" and Cuts in Child Benefits and Basic Pension
More than one trillion won was cut from the budget overseen by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as lawmakers reviewed and finalized the 2018 budget. As the government prepares to launch "Moon Jae-in care," which aims to expand health insurance coverage, state support for health insurance has been cut to the lowest ever. Lawmakers also reduced the number of children subject to child benefits and postponed the payment of a higher basic pension.
In an Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution, Government Cuts Welfare and Increases SOC
The National Assembly passed next year's budget in the early hours of December 6, and a closer look shows that the lawmakers cut the budget for welfare and greatly increased the budget for social overhead capital (SOC) compared to the government's original proposal in the process of reviewing the budget. Next year's budget for health, welfare and employment has been finalized at 144.7 trillion won. Although the welfare budget increased by 11.7% compared to this year, the budget is 1.5 trillion won smaller than the initial government proposal (146.2 trillion won).

Tourism and Duty-free Industries Hopeful about Improving Korea-China Relations
As Korea and China are set to improve their relationship that was rocked by the controversy over the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile system, Korea's tourism and duty-free shopping industries are raising their hopes of better days. The tourism industry believes that the Chinese government's group tour ban to Korea would be relaxed soon. A travel agency in Hebei posted an Internet ad recently for a group tour program to Korea in November at the price of 1,480 yuan(US$223). China's largest online travel agency trip also put out group tour programs to Korea for the first time in seven months.

Gov't Decides to Give $8 Mil. Aid to North Korea...Timing to Be Announced Later
The government has decided to give support to North Korea worth US$8 million in programs helping its vulnerable people including children and pregnant women indirectly through international organizations. It, however, has not decided when to start sending money and exactly how. This is interpreted as a choice to deflect criticism that it is undertaking an aid project at a time when North Korea is causing an international storm by launching a series of missile tests.

Hyundai Motor ready to use Samsung batteries for eco-friendly vehicles

The debt-stricken tire maker was put under a debt restructuring program by creditors following a failed attempt to sell a controlling stake to a Chinese company.

Korea’s construction trade surplus narrows to 10-yr low
South Korea’s trade surplus in construction hit a ten-year low in October as depressed oil prices have stalled infrastructure orders in the Middle East.

This is the lowest figure since the $390.7 million recorded in Feb. 2007. Construction trade balance is money generated from overseas construction minus wages and local procurement costs.
