This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government
The US Department of Energy (DOE), which supervises US energy policy and duties relating to nuclear power research and development and military nuclear weapon programs, has classified South Korea as a “sensitive country” and established regulatory measures in line with this, the Hankyoreh confirmed in an investigation on Sunday.
Classification as a sensitive country means that exchange and cooperation in connection with US advanced technology areas such as nuclear power and artificial intelligence (AI) are heavily restricted. This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government.
And S. Korea has mostly been threats, or attacks on foreign companies. There haven’t been any meaningful anti-trust actions in S. Korea either.
At least the US is sort of fumbling along w/ anti-trust against Google. We’ll see how that plays out though.
