EDITORIAL HOLD — story rejected: no OC relevance

This story cannot be published on OC LifeHub. The source article covers a Korea–Canada defense procurement and hydrogen-truck investment deal with no connection to Orange County, its Korean-American community, or any subject within this outlet's editorial scope.

Two critical fact-check flags block publication. First, the previous draft misattributed the investment and contract figures to the Korea Times when the primary source is CTV, citing Seoul's presidential envoy. Second, and fatally, the story has zero OC angle: it is a geopolitical and defense story about a submarine tender between South Korea's Hanwha Ocean and Germany's TKMS, set entirely in Canada. No OC Korean-American community tie exists. Inventing one would violate this outlet's absolute rule against fabricating facts.

**Why this story is being killed**

OC LifeHub's editorial mandate is the Orange County Korean-American community — immigration, local government, culture, health, and neighborhood life. This story covers:

- A **$12 billion Canadian submarine contract** between the Canadian government and competing bidders Hanwha Ocean (South Korea) and TKMS (Germany) - A **CA$3.1 billion hydrogen-truck investment offer** by Seoul's presidential envoy, reported by Canadian outlet CTV

Neither element has any OC anchor. No local company, resident, nonprofit, government body, or community event is involved.

**Source attribution fix (for the record)**

The previous draft cited the Korea Times as the primary source for the investment and contract figures. Per the extracted facts, the actual primary source is CTV, which cited Seoul's presidential envoy. Had this story been publishable, the correct attribution would be: "according to CTV, citing Seoul's presidential envoy" — not "the Korea Times reported."

**Recommendation**

Do not reassign or localize this story. Submit a new source article with a genuine OC or Southern California Korean-American community angle.

OC LifeHub does not cover international defense procurement. This article is spiked. No OC Korean-American community angle exists and none may be invented.
