Seeing rumors that the ROK government might be open to negotiations with Japan about the Dokdo islands

How big of a deal would that be?

Well Yoon is a unpopular president barely have any popular mandate and personally chose a very pro JP, pro US foreign policy from his small inner circle of advisers. IMO he already used most of his political capital by hand waiving the Japanese reparation and made the Korean corporations to foot the cost (LOL). I doubt very much he can push forward any more pro-JP gestures.

Something dramatic and scandalous is going to happen.

I had to buy a cellphone repair hotbed so I could unglue the phone screen and replace the battery myself on a perfectly usable Xiaomi mix 2s and an iPad mini 4

How is the EU making Apple use standard USBC port but not sue Apple/Xiaomi/Samsung billions for using user unreplaceable batteries?

When my wife travels to China on her green passport, IT gives her a burner work phone and laptop for the trip and she leaves her personal phone here.

I guess private sector people would have to use their own precautions. After the Two Michaels, any Canadian not on a green passport is going to come under scrutiny though. Particularly after the CIA operation in China was rolled up.

Red passports have diplomatic immunity, green passports are there on official business.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
Why would Brazil sign up for an economic alliance when they could have all the benefits that come with an ideological alliance? Think of all the ideology we'd be willing to shove down their throat for free.

I literally was going to post "unless your wife is in a think tank" until I saw who post it. I don't have avatar enabled in the SA setting.
