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.

WESTPAC BANK: From ancient China, when the banks of the great rivers were not effectively dyked, because that cost money, the local leader would turn up in front of the Emperor, and, basically, stab himself to death for his failure to prepare. It was an effective way to make the next local leader more responsible in his spending. Now, in Australia, a bank can support 20 million events that sponsor world wide child sex slavery, and the CEO gets a few million dollars to happily and respectfully retire. No execution. No penalty. We have grown truly dumber as the times have gone by. As for stabbing the CEO to death, well, yep, I'd be up for it, but he should really be intelligent enough to do that to himself.
