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.

On Trump & Brexit: I think the election of Trump and the choice the UK made to leave Europe comes down to simply bad governance that supported only the Great Cities in both countries and brought about the general decimation of anyone's future outside those great cities. People who voted for Trump and for Brexit aren't fools, they are simply people for whom the system of City-State Globalisation hasn't worked. Too many people have suffered for too long, too many peoples lives and futures, and the futures of their kids have been ruined by the systemic neglect of the regions and rural places, all to feed the Great Cities..and so these people respond by voting. When the system is reversed and people in the country are much better off, then there is some hope for a reasonable outcome. Until then, there isn't hope for either country. They have screwed their best, their most, to the wall. The best, the most, don't like that.
