South Korea opposition threatens impeachment if president does not resign

South Korea's largest opposition party says it will begin impeachment proceedings against President Yoon Suk Yeol if he does not immediately step down. The president has come under fire for declaring martial law yesterday. After fierce protests and opposition from parliament, he lifted the state of emergency last night.

For the Democratic Party, which has a majority in the South Korean parliament, that is not enough. The party demands that Yoon step down immediately. "We will not stand idly by as President Yoon destroys the constitution and tramples on democracy," the party said in a statement. "President Yoon must step down voluntarily immediately."

Earlier, opposition leader Park Chan-dae said Yoon "cannot escape accusations of treason." "It has become clear to the entire nation that President Yoon can no longer govern the country normally. He must step down," Park said.

The leader of South Korea's ruling PPP party, President Yoon's party, called Yoon's decision to declare a state of emergency "tragic." Han Dong-hoon said Yoon "should explain this tragic situation directly and thoroughly," he said in a televised broadcast.

According to Yonhap news agency, President Yoon canceled a drug policy meeting on Wednesday morning.

Around the parliament building in Seoul in the morning, after the tumultuous day and night, there was a lot of police presence. There are a few dozen demonstrators.

Yoon's unexpected power grab caused great unrest in the capital Seoul yesterday. The president accused the opposition of sympathizing with arch-enemy North Korea and doing everything to thwart the government. With the state of siege, parliament and political parties were sidelined.

The opposition then called on members of parliament and citizens not to accept this and to come to parliament. Despite the presence of the army at parliament, most members of parliament managed to reach the chamber. There they voted for a resolution to reverse the state of emergency. This happened a few hours later. Yoon announced in a televised speech that he would comply with the resolution.

Interesting Yoon is a Roman Catholic. The Catholic Church in South Korea has seen significant growth in recent years, increasing its membership from 7.9% of the population to 11% over the past twenty years. At the end of 2017 there were 5,813,770 Catholics in South Korea – 11.0% of the population.

The Chinese Cut Off Drone Exports

Posted on December 30, 2024By Peter Zeihan In China, Military, Ukraine

The Chinese Government has moved toward implementing an export ban on drones and drone components, with an eye toward making supply issues a particular headache for the United States and the Ukrainians.

In regard to the latter group, Kyiv has had particular success in utilizing drones in their war against Russia. From reconnaissance to swarm attacks to providing targeting data for UAVs, the Ukrainian war effort has been building and burning through thousands of drones.

While the design and rebuild activity is happening primarily within Ukraine, several key components: motors, flight controls, and especially the batteries and made in China. China’s massive supply of affordable parts is what drove the Ukrainians to make up for shortages within their arsenals with drones in the first place, and you can bet Moscow has been pushing China heavily to stop the flow of these parts to Ukraine.

As for the Americans, the Chinese are looking to respond to the bevy of tech export restrictions pushed through by the Biden administration, and Beijing is bracing for an onslaught of new Trump tariffs. Things like drone components are one of the few levers Beijing has in this fight.

But what will the ultimate outcomes be? This is an excellent opportunity for the United States and others in the West to start building out their own manufacturing capacity for these components—a win for both strategic and economic reasons. Even if the Chinese were everyone’s best buddies, the current Chinese system is dying. Literally. The Chinese government cannot hold back the impacts of the collapse of the population growth rate, and the Chinese economy is undeniably slowing down. The global economy’s reliance on Chinese overproduction is coming to an end, regardless of whether anyone wants it to or not.

Premier Li Qiang announced the forecast at the opening session of China's National People's Congress.

If the USA turns his back on Europe we go to China it's simple.
