  • “I especially like the NAPSNet’s Daily Reports. By reading them, I get a sort of bird’s eye view on what’s going on, a sense of reassurance that my Yahoo! news alerts don’t provide. By reviewing your Daily Reports, I also sometimes read a trend that I find useful for my stories. I am grateful for your excellent work.”
    Choe Sang-Hun,
    IHT/Seoul correspondent
  • “I find that both NAPSNET and the DPRK Briefing Book make keeping up to date on my North Korean research much easier. With the former its a wide variety of news sources in an easily digestible format, and the latter a virtual treasure trove of source materials and analysis on this most complex topic.”

  • I admire what Nautilus is doing — and how much I have learned from you. I am quite impressed by your “niche network” approach to the DPRK.    Indeed, this manner of dealing with difficult situations is probably generalizable beyond the DPRK.

  • “The NAPSNet Daily Report is an excellent source of information for both international and domestic developments in Northeast Asia, especially with respect to China. Drawing upon local scholars’ selections from their countries’ newspapers, NAPSNet provides its readers immediate and informative assessments of developments through the prism of each country’s press. NAPSNET informs American scholars interested in national views in Asia, scholars interested in international affairs, and think tank policymakers focusing upon a current crisis. It has no competitors and is essential for the understanding of developments in Northeast Asia, especially China.”
