Korean firms that make server robots for restaurants are peeved that they are being beaten by the Chinese competition. According to the Korean Association of Robot Industry, around 5,000 robots were in use in restaurants in Korea last year, up 67 percent compared to 2021, and their number is expected to rise to 10,000 this year. That means the market is potentially worth US$530 million this year and is forecast to rise to $1 billion by 2026 as owners favor robots over humans amid rising wages. But some 70 percent of the server robots in Korea are made in China because they are cheaper.

The editors of the Journal of Sonic Studies are proud to announce that its 24th issue is online. This special issue of the Journal of Sonic Studies came from a gnawing sense of exhaustion and a need to recuperate, to find solidarity, reflect, consider alternatives, and to gather resources and energy for what may follow. At the one-day symposium on Voice and Listening: Techniques for Political Life at Birmingham City University in March 2021, the following questions were explored: Are we currently witnessing and experiencing a "crisis of voice" and a "crisis of listening"? Who - or what - has a voice? Which voices are heard and meaningfully engaged with, and which are not? What does it mean to listen to others and to the non-human others with whom we share this world or, conversely, to ignore them? How are techniques of voicing and listening enacted, and what disciplines and strategies might help us to address the multiple crises facing our communities? Read the 24th edition here .

MANILA, Philippines — Military cooperation between the Philippines and the United States (US) will 'seriously endanger regional peace and stability,' the Chinese Embassy in Manila said on Friday. The embassy issued the statement after US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland visited the Philippines and said that four additional Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (Edca) sites will bring economic opportunities and jobs to Manila.
