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.

Cluey. I think Trump is quite Cluey regarding North Korea. North Korea is no real threat to even Japan, let alone the USA. It only really is a problem for South Korea, and the only solution will be worked out by the people of North and South Korea...the USA has no role there. by turning up and saying 'Yeah, its fixed' he has done more for eventual resolution than any other US regime. It is North and South 'Korea' when there can only be one Korea, so they have to work it out...and they will. Brexit: This was a response to the maniacal city-building, almost deification, of London as the only city of wealth that mattered. Whilst London thrived, the rest of the UK paid for that and didn't get anything...thus the knee-jerk 'lets get out of Europe'. Due to the remarkable dismissing of Irish Unity, per se, the UK didn't even think of the problem of a border between North and South Ireland. Didn't even think of it. problems dont go away until they are actually resolved. the only resolution is the removal of Northern Ireland from the UK and into the good one Ireland. I think the US funding-deification of its god-like cities of New York, San Francisco etc worked in the same way to promote Trump from the fringe to the Centre. If the USA can redress the different societies of its provinces and its power cities, then there can be some resolution over the decades. Australia: I'd expect the Labor Party to win the next Federal election.
