📺 NEW THIS WEEK | North Korea's Surprising Economic Boom | Thursday July 2, 10:00am ET

With its 3.7 percent growth in 2024 and a capital remade by Chinese cars and Russian cash, The Wall Street Journal recently called North Korea "the world's most surprising economic success story." Meanwhile, The New York Times described the "miraculous transformation" under Kim Jong-un.

On The Capital Cable #137, @CSIS host @mwlippert is joined by @CSISGeopolitics @VictorDCha, @WSJ @timothywmartin, and @StimsonCenter @rachelminyoung1 to discuss what's driving this growth and what this rosy view may obscure.

Four Chinese vessels—one People’s Liberation Army Navy frigate and three China Coast Guard ships—were monitored in the vicinity of a Philippines-United States bilateral maritime cooperative activity near Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea on Sunday.

The Chinese ships followed participating vessels but did not interfere with the activity. #SelfiePatrol @ABSCBNNews

Japan’s Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi visited Wonju Air Base in South Korea and became the first Japanese defense minister to fly in the Republic of Korea Air Force Black Eagles T-50B.

The visit is being interpreted as a symbolic step in expanding South Korea–Japan defense cooperation.

"It cannot be reasonably said that two different NPRs, the SPC, & Congress each fell victim to an imaginary deterrence gap & independently contrived a need for low-yield nuclear capabilities."

[U.S. Army Pacific @USARPAC]

@USARPAC is the dominant land force in the Indo-Pacific. We train hard, fight to win, and stand ready to defeat any enemy. Lethality, discipline, and warrior spirit define us.

Can Sports Diplomacy Open a Door on the Korean Peninsula?

@CSIS @VictorDCha & @AndySauLim argue that sports diplomacy has always been an important tool of inter-Korean diplomacy, and the upcoming football match between North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s Football Club and South Korea's Suwon FC Women in South Korea offers an opportunity for diplomatic breakthrough.
