Quick Glance: 'Politics That Fail': South Korea's Youth Disillusioned with Government
- Outnumbered by older voters and under-represented in parliament, South Korea's young say the political system is failing them, urging them to vote in Wednesday's election.
- The election to select the National Assembly's 300 lawmakers will mark the first time in South Korean history where voters aged 60 and older will outnumber those in their twenties and thirties.
- Politics is predominantly controlled by older men, with male MPs above 50 comprising over 75 percent of the current National Assembly. Only 5.6 percent of candidates for Wednesday's election are under 40.
- Experts attribute the low voter turnout among young people to growing dissatisfaction, as the younger generation in South Korea faces tough competition in education, limited job prospects, and exorbitant housing costs. Suicide is a prevalent cause of death for Koreans aged 10 to 39.

How South Korea election may reshape Yoon's policy agenda
reut.rs/3VTyQP2
Quick Glance: Challenges for South Korea's Yoon After Election Defeat
- Following his conservative party’s devastating loss in this week's parliamentary elections, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is facing significant setbacks in expanding the country's role within emerging US-led regional blocs aimed at countering a confident China, according to analysts.
- Yoon's ruling People Power Party secured 108 seats, trailing far behind the liberal Democratic Party of Korea, which obtained a comfortable majority with 175 seats in the 300-member parliament. Voter participation reached 67 per cent, marking a multi-decade high.
- Despite these challenges, it is anticipated that Yoon will continue his diplomatic approach and strengthen ties with the US and Japan given North Korea's nuclear threats and China's increasing influence.
- Some critics have called for a more balanced approach between South Korea's traditional allies and China, accusing Yoon of needlessly provoking the country's primary trading partner and inadvertently pushing Pyongyang further into Beijing's sphere of influence.

US urges South Korea to join the China sanctions regime, adjust export controls to prevent the country from getting chipmaking tools
tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/us-urges-south-korea-to-join-the-china-sanctions-regime-adjust-export-controls-to-prevent-the-country-from-getting-chipmaking-tools
Quick Glance: US Urges South Korea to Join China Sanctions, Adjust Export Controls to Prevent Chipmaking Tools
- According to Bloomberg, the U.S. government is collaborating with South Korea to impose export restrictions on semiconductor technology to China, similar to measures introduced by Washington. These restrictions include limiting exports of fab tools and parts for fab tools that could be used to build logic chips in non-planar 14nm process technologies.
- Due to their strong trade relationships with China, especially concerning major South Korean tech firms like Samsung and SK Hynix, South Korea is approaching the situation cautiously. South Korean officials are wary of potential retaliatory actions from China in response to the implementation of export controls on wafer fab tools.
- With significant players like Samsung and SK Hynix operating in China, South Korea's role as a major exporter of chipmaking materials and parts to the country adds complexity to the situation.
- In an effort to regulate technology exchanges, South Korea is exploring a multinational approach to review export controls for sensitive products, including semiconductor-related equipment. This strategy may pose challenges to U.S. endeavors to limit China's influence on technology supply chains.
