South Korea will accept China’s dominance...

So started a Jerry Springer show style foreign policy debate in a pub with academic, political, and government colleagues

Maybe it’s my 1990s Australian teenage years of wagging* school and watching corny American television repeats, but I often listen in on conversations between academic, political, and/or government colleagues and get bored, so I return to form and act as a tabloid talk show host. I become a foreign policy Jerry Springer, throwing out difficult topics, inciting anger, and provoking responses.

* It was pointed out to me that most readers are not familiar with this term. “To wag school” is the Australian equivalent of the U.S. term “to play hooky”.
