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.

The one thing people don't seem to understand about the very young Mr Kim Jong Un, President of the DPRK, is his stability. He has 500,000 rockets aimed at Seoul 60 kms away. Has he fired them? No. He has nuclear weapons. Has he used them? No. He will develop capacities to fire the nuclear weapons at Japan...for what Japan did to Korea, both North and South, remains one of the truly great crimes against humanity...and no one, except the West, is capable of just forgetting that. Koreans, both North and South, have very vivid national PTSD dreams about that evil time. He will develop nuclear capacities aimed specifically and especially at US Military Bases near and in Korea, and US nuclear armed ships off his coast line...and anyone with any sense would. Every year, March April, the US has its live fire military drills planning for the invasion of the North,just next to the North, and every year the big US nuclear bombers buzz the border. This happens every year and this hasn't provoked Mr Kim into doing anything except preparing his military assets and being very good at brinkmanship rhetoric. He is a bad guy, although not as bad as the Japs were. He has massive weaponry but hasn't used them the way the US has used theirs around the world with no provocation at all. He is not a mad guy. He is a tactician studiously working on the survival of his regime.
