Content: On August 19, 2024, the Korean-American Yi Ji Freedom Shield joint exercise officially kicked off, aimed at enhancing the defense capabilities of the Korean Peninsula and strengthening the defense capabilities and readiness posture of the Korea-US alliance.

Meanwhile, the Korea Economic Association released a report stating that over the past decade, Korea’s export growth has not kept pace with that of mainland China and Taiwan.

During the same period, exports from mainland China and Taiwan grew by 54.8% and 36%, respectively.
