The essence of soft power should be:

- To build it without depending on it for policy outcomes
- To take pride in it without flaunting it
- To disseminate it without pushing it
- To believe in your soft power while acknowledging that others have theirs as well
- To publicise your soft power while remaining receptive to the soft power of others.

Soft power doesn't make you superior; it a makes you attractive.

I write at @IndiasWorld_mag that Trump may need India to reach out North Korea in his second term as there is no Moon Jae-in in South Korea who can connect the US to North Korea.

I write in @the_hindu that Political crisis in South Korea could be attributed to President Yoon Suk-yeol’s political immaturity and a divided Korean society in conservative and liberal camps.

The North Korean won has plunged in value, driving exchange rates for dollars and Chinese yuan to record highs. In response, North Koreans are increasingly turning to commodity exchanges rather than using their local currency. #northkorea #dprk #economy
