John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

Good to watch Democrat Bernie Sanders in the US and Labour Party Jeremy Corbin in the UK actually pushing a real and effective democratic socialist position. We in Australia will still have to wait for the present Labor Party Wannabe Bill Shorten to be trounced at the next election before the Australian Labor Party realises that it actually has to change, that there does have to be some serious blood-letting, and can therefore one day put someone into leadership who can actually...lead. I won't hold my breath. Bill spends an awful lot of time making sure his brighter blue contact lenses are in, and his skin is botox perfect, and his suits are appropriate, and his views are those espoused by each random poll before he actually says anything...we really can't wait for change that long. We can't just hang around waiting with baited breath for the unhappy past to re-emerge via Bill.
I see Cardinal Pell, the 3rd highest ranking Catholic on Earth now, and from Sydney, is just too sick to fly to Australia from the Vatican to answer questions regarding sexual abuse under his leadership of the Church here. Oh, how convenient a weak heart is...mind you, I never thought he had a heart anyway. Ruthless barbaric conscience-less cunt. He fits in well in the Vatican. He won't be coming home soon....and Heaven can wait.

Brief world news: China: China Superleague (Soccer) is now buying European players (UK & Spain) and Brazilian players, spending more on them than the English Premier League spends. Rationale: to meet the plans of the China President Mr Xi in having a football-worthy nation as soon as possible. Thailand: The opening up of Myanmar to a post-sanctions world means that Thailand's relative wealth, based upon under the counter oil and gas buying from Myanmar is basically over; with nothing to replace it in terms of making or keeping Thailand economy stable and efficient. Iran: 20 years of sanctions upon Iran have caused a remarkable period of innovation and creativity in Iran adding to the robustness of its economy and its strength for the future. With sanctions lifted, Iran will boom, but not in the nuclear way.
