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.

It is refreshing to me, as an old communist, to see the Union flags on top of the big cranes building Melbourne in the second decade of the 21st century. Well done, comrades, you came through, and ensured yourself and your families that you got well paid, when everyone else was weak and buckled under. Well done CFMEU! You have a damn good flag! You've done well.
Well, North Korea has stopped firing off rockets in response to the cessation of invasion war games on its border. This is a very good thing.
North Korea, like other pariah nations, like Israel and Pakistan, are not going to give up their hard won nuclear weapons...but as long as people dont see them, and, in particular, dont hear them, this is much better for everyone.
Well done Mr Trump and Mr Un.
North Asia, unlike the Middle East, is far too important to everyone on the planet to have war games and firework shows.

You know what keeps China together? No, it is not the Communist Party of China. China is kept together and gets stronger every day, and will so for the next 100 years, due to the intellectual power of Chinese women organising the Chinese family that does not break. Mao tried but couldn't break them. When Mao sought to really break things, he could...but he could never break the strength of Chinese women. The West can't break them. They are here for the long run.
