How North Korea trains its “cyber soldiers”
How did North Korea, a country with extremely restricted access to the internet, get so good at hacking? It's one of the best ways, says veteran Korea correspondent Jean Lee, to get cash while covering your tracks in order to keep the elite happy and the nuclear program going. "Sanctions and border closures won't matter if you're adept at cyber." Watch a clip from Lee's interview with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.

South Korea's delicate US-China balancing act
South Korea is a close US ally, but also shares a border and does a lot of trade with China, so it's always walking a tightrope between Washington and Beijing. The South Koreans, says veteran Korea correspondent Jean Lee, are worried about growing US-China competition — but there's not much they can do about it. "We can't choose. We live next to China, we have lived next to China for millennia, but we are a staunch US ally," she explains. "I think there's no question that their loyalty lies with the United States, but it's very clear as well that so much of their financial future lies with China as well.

Why did the 2018 summits with North Korea fail?
In 2018, Donald Trump thought he could bring peace between the Koreas, and denuclearize the North, all by himself. He failed, and now the North Koreans have more and better nukes. Veteran Korea correspondent Jean Lee is not surprised because she knew that "behind all the theater and drama of the summits," the North Koreans would not hit the pause button. What's more, she was concerned they were fooling everyone into believing we would all be safer. Watch a clip from her interview with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.
