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.

More reviews of TV commentary re the US Elections this week: CNN VERY pro Clinton, Fox VERY Pro Trump... All Australian News...VERY pro Clinton... China TV...very good independent analysis...(the Chinese have more and more highly qualified analysts of America than America has) NHK Japan...simple but good analysis... Al Jazeera...very Pro Clinton (mind you, Al Jazeera is still trying very very hard to get a licence to broadcast there) Russian TV...very Pro Trump. I must admit I DID say about 6 months back that what Trump needed was just a few bombings within the USA to propel him into the White House, not that he would be responsible for them, but that was what he needed. These things have happened but I still don't think he will get there, and Clinton will win.
McGyver: What we are going to do today is to use a Samsung 7 Edge phone as bomb rather than just as an electronic triggering device for a bomb...the great money saving thing is that you don't need Semtec or a pressure cooker. Whatever you do don't leave it in a nice suitcase in New York or someone will pinch it. A city of thieves.

the only thing worse for Australia than a Trump victory would be a Clinton victory. Not much of a choice. Total dependency has its real price. That's why some countries, our neighbours, grow stronger in the real world than we can ever be. Indonesia, unaligned, 350 million souls, grows rich and strong as we grow poor dependent upon America. Why are we dependent upon the USA? Race. That is all we understand, as Australians.The real world has gone past that for many many decades. Why? We chose the illusion rather than the reality of life. It is what Australia does best.
