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.

I am really quite pleased that Mr Trump spoke basically well of Korea's Mr Un. The usual process of America is to dehumanise and vilify the enemy target (Saddam,Gaddafi & Assad) and then just destroy everything...so speaking basically well of Mr Un's capacities as a smart cookie who is a great survivor is quite impressive. This augers well that America may well be changing a bit, or at least understanding Mr Un's savvy unreachability...or some understanding as to the US's poor dysfunctional economy at this time. Does the US really want North Korea to fall and China take over? No. Russia take over? No. Does China or Russia want the US to take over the North? No. Would either of the 3 great powers allow the other to pick up the most strategic piece of real estate on Earth? No..No...No one wants the other giant to take over...so Mr Un is quite secure really, and he knows it. A quirky Switzerland of North East Asia with 500,000 rockets, a few nukes...and a huge mine-field, a mine-field to die for...and a far worse outcome for everyone on the planet should Mr Un be got rid of. He is a smart guy.
