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.

Sigh. Who would we be without our young dis-enfranchised radicalised men? We expect our useless young men to lie down and just shut up, but, the bastards, they just won't. Instead, they just go off and find things to believe in all by themselves., as if they didn't care at all about how more important we are.
My God, what a frightening future, the loan interest rates start to rise and every fashionable cafe goes out of business...all those bizarre baristas wandering the countryside, like Kane, in Kung Fu, wondering what to do with their respected professionals skills, and their pig tails...like the new poor...like...immigrants. yech.
back to the malaysian plane being brought down in the South China Sea...I remain amazed that no 'proper news journalists' on earth have ever sought to find out why, following this mysterious event, the Prime Minister of Malaysia was given a personal US$800 million as a gift from the Saudi Royal family when he identified that the plane turned around and went away...or why President Obama landed in Malaysia soon after and offered them a really good deal on Defence. Isn't that odd to anyone apart from me? Doesn't that kind of raise a bit of a flag about the events? Just a little flag?
There are a bunch of things that you do notice as time goes by. For example...the plan for the USA to accept our refugees on manus Island etc in exchange for Central American refugees the USA wouldn't accept because they weren't refugees at all, but rather narcotic criminals, was ,in fact an agreement with Mr Obama...but after it was made Australia said it wasn't an agreement at all, but it still is...
You don't have to look back very far to see how things have gone. There was the 2008 Global financial crisis...a Massive World Recession that wasn't allowed to be called that. A Recession with a big impact for 20-25 years...still rolling out. In response to this, wealth went from countryside to city, thus the new Rising of London City and New York City (+LA) as Elite City-States with all the money. Then, There was the Brexit vote... people in England countryside were far worse off than people in London, so they wanted things to change...thus Brexit. In the USA, people in the country were much worse off than the City States of New York (+LA) so they wanted change and thus Trump. In the Middle East the impact of the GFC was catastrophic for anyone not really rich...thus the rise of terrorism. Fortunately, through the wisdom and intelligence of the Communist Party of China, the impact of the GFC was minimal...and the bad guys who participated in this remarkable theft there were in fact taken out and shot rather than given more money, as the west gave their criminals. Thus China leapt ahead 30 peaceful years in a day...and the West receded into the new beginnings of real poverty and a lot more war...which is simply a larger form of terrorism.
