When the state threatens and monitors its population then it’s the death of freedom. Be careful Brits because the social credit system in China teaches us what a dystopian country can do to its people.

That is the main idea in this article from the British newspaper, the DailyMail.
China's social credit score that docked points for bad behaviour
China's Social Credit System is a reminder of the limits of the technology - and carries a warning about the role and efficacy of government.

I read an opinion column wrote by Machiko Osawa (a professor at Japan Women’s university in Tokyo). The article alternates from particular examples to statistics to make readers feel anxious, frustrated and furious about the gender issues in Japan.
Landmark sexual violence survey reveals shocking data

Hello, I am Jules from France

I think one of the main solution is to make mental health care treatment widely accessible, to encourage people to treat themselves, not to stigmatize it.

Yesterday I read articles on overtourism in Japan and they were just babbling about some very obvious facts. They were shamefully implying that it was Japan’s fault for not knowing how to manage tourists flows and for wanting so “stupidly” to attract foreigners.

I didn’t know until yesterday that there was DPRK’s schools in Japan. They teach Korean to zainichi (Koreans in Japan) and are precious propaganda outlets.
This article about Chongryon schools was very intriguing for me.

I just read an article from the article from the Council of Foreign Relations. Its framing was quite dramatic, talking about “China’s even sharper decline [compared to Korea]”

I just read an article from the Korea JoongAn Daily about “Korea’s richest man”. The framing is unique because it’s both between praising and blaming. #michaelkim #Koreanrichestman #tonsofmoney

I read an EDITORIAL from the Choson Ilbo, the most conservative newspaper in South Korean. It was framed in order to relaying demands from the DPK (the Conservative Party). Editorials are by definition engaged: they chose a frame to convince people.
