HIR的优秀作品到底长啥样？

通过历届获奖作品和官方给出的“写作指南”，老师总结了HIR竞赛的优质作品具备6个关键要素：

◎ 主题相关性：文章必须紧密围绕竞赛的两个主题之一“VUCA世界中的不平等”或“全球挑战与集体行动”，并且要从全球视角进行分析，而不是局限于某个国家。

◎ 分析与证据：文章需要有扎实的分析，并且所有事实性陈述都必须有可靠的来源支持。文章不能仅仅是事实的堆砌，而应该通过分析证据来支持作者的论点。

◎ 结构与逻辑：文章的结构应当清晰，段落之间要有自然的过渡，逻辑流畅。引言部分需要吸引读者，并有效引出作者的主要论点。

◎ 写作风格：文章的风格应当正式、学术化，避免过于随意的语气。同时，文章应当遵循HIR的写作风格指南，包括正确的引用格式、避免使用过多的缩写、保持文化敏感性等。

◎ 创新性与深度：文章应当探讨一个未被充分讨论的全球性问题（比较接地气的说法就是，你的话题应该有很热又不热的关注度），并且通过深入的分析和独特的视角来展示作者的思考。

◎ 语言与格式：文章的语言应当简洁明了，避免冗长的句子和不必要的复杂表达。同时，文章需要符合HIR的格式要求，包括引用方式、标点符号的使用等。

文章标题：

The Trade War That No One Is Talking About

Amid the noise of the United States' engagement with China, Japan and South Korea have recently engaged in their own trade war. On July 4 of this year, while Americans were celebrating their own independence and freedom, South Koreans were reminded of their own colonial history as their neighbor and former colonizer, Japan, began to impose new trade sanctions. What started off as a South Korean Supreme Court ruling has now escalated into a crippling economic war that threatens a key source of technology for Asia and the world.

Although this particular dispute is now only a few months old, the roots of colonialism began in 1910 when the Japanese Empire invaded and occupied the entirety of the Korean peninsula. Over the course of the next few decades, the Japanese Empire would aggressively expand and control most of South-East Asia and even parts of China, until its ultimate demise at the end of the Second World War. During Japanese occupation of Korea, Japanese companies, such as Mitsubishi and Nippon Steel, often times conscripted Korean men and women for forced unpaid labor.

Recently, however, the South Korean Supreme Court ruled in October and November of 2018 that Japanese companies must pay reparations for these historical injustices. Consequently, on July fourth, the Japanese government retaliated by imposing limitations on the trade of materials essential to the construction of microchips and technological products in South Korea. Incensed by South Korea’s lack of response, Japan reinforced its message by taking South Korea off its “white-list” of favored trading partners, leading to ramifications beyond the technology industry. South Korea reacted by removing Japan from their equivalent top tier of preferred trading partners. In this deep spiral of sanctions in response, South Korea and Japan have interlocked in a vicious and politically charged trade war. While many trade wars are understood as responses to unequal terms of trade, Japan and South Korea's trade war seems to be particularly coded in political motives, given that its impetus was about reconciling with Japan's colonial past.

And, there seems to be no clear end in sight. Public opinion in both countries are highly supportive of their respective government’s policies, so both Seoul and Tokyo have political incentive to continue their policies or even escalate. With federal elections occurring within the next year for both countries, neither country can afford to buck against public opinion.

Moreover, unlike other disputes like the nuclear threat of North Korea, no foreign power is willing to aid in diffusing the tension and mediate between the two neighboring countries. The United States has traditionally adopted the role of the mediator but with its own trade worries with China, Washington has no attention that it can spare to Japan and South Korea. Furthermore, the US has historically allied with both Japan and South Korea, so it has little incentive to be involved, lest it risk its relationship with either country.

Indeed, almost every country in the world has a vested interest in the swift resolution of this conflict. The world relies on South Korea for its technology products, ranging from microchips to completely processed smartphones. The Korean technology industry is a necessity even for Western giants, such as Apple and Dell. Korea supplies 60 percent of the world’s DRAM memory chips. However, the Korean technology industry conversely relies on Japan for its chemicals, such as fluorinated polyamides, as an intermediary product for the making of semiconductors and computer chips.

With stakes this high, it is crucial that the economic war be resolved with urgency. The highly politicized nature of this particular trade war clouds rational judgement of politicians. This is detrimental, especially when the chips in play are the economic outlooks of millions of Japanese and Korean citizens, as well as the global technology industry. There is not a trade-off between attention paid to the US-China trade war and that of Japan and South Korea. Both play a crucial role in the global economy and affect billions of people’s day-to-day lives. As some of the biggest economic powers in Asia spiral into economic warfare, international neglect could have ramifications that affect the world at large.

文章亮点：

01 全球化视角：这篇文章强调了全球供应链如何受到单一国家政策的影响。稀土资源不仅是中国经济的核心组成部分，也是全球技术产业的关键，因此对贸易战的讨论深入分析了不同国家和地区的经济利益。

02 选题角度：大家都在关注中美贸易战，似乎是一个没什么新意的议题，但是日韩贸易战就不一样了，这是一个很值得关注的领域但是又很少有人加以笔墨，妙哉！

03 事实支持：文章通过提供具体数据（例如稀土资源的占比）来支持作者的论点，使读者能够理解稀土贸易战的复杂性。

04 分析性观点：作者并非单纯描述事件，而是深入探讨其背后的全球性影响，特别是如何影响技术创新、能源转型这种全球议题。

05 解决方案：文章最后提到可能的解决途径，如加强全球合作和减少对单一国家资源的依赖。
