Newsbud | China Watch with Peter Lee | The Deep State Plan to Sabotage Korean Peace | July 7, 2018

Source: Newsbud.com



Recently the Asia punditsphere was abuzz with excited comments on an ABC news report “North Korea has increased nuclear production at secret sites, say U.S. officials”.

As to the assertion that North Korea is cranking out fissile material at one or two secret processing facilities, so what? Kim Jong un said he’s stop missile and nuclear tests but never said he’d stop processing.
In practical terms, this appears to be an effort to make a Korea deal—and the lifting of sanctions against North Korea—impossible, by establishing the “these guys are liars and can’t be trusted ever!” frame.

This would not be the first time interested parties reached out to sabotage Korean peace negotiations. And it would not even be the second. It’s at least the third.

In a special edition, China Watch explores the sixty year record of U.S. bad faith and sabotage of Korean peace negotiations and presents a special video report on one of the biggest and therefore least admitted blunders in US mismanagement of Asian affairs: the botched campaign against a Macau bank that birthed North Korea’s atomic bomb.

Newsbud | China Watch with Peter Lee | China War Triple Play: Trade War, Tech War, and Boom! | May 9, 2018

Source: Newsbud.com



America’s got a three-war solution to the problem of U.S. decline in Asia: a trade war, a tech war, and maybe a shooting war.

Now we’ve got trade war jaw jaw as the United States and the People’s Republic of China exchange demands. It’s a phony war for now: threats, posturing, media ops and, for Donald Trump at least, political jockeying in the runup to US elections in November.

Meanwhile, the United States forges ahead in the real war—the techwar with China centered on 5G wireless. Full speed ahead here; this is a war America expects to win. But if it doesn’t, Taiwan has to watch out: the Taiwan government just crossed a big red line and there’s probably no going back.

And, an important anniversary: May 7, 1999. The day things went Boom!...and Bill Clinton lost China. Yeah, you’ll get the full details at China Watch. And only at China Watch.

Newsbud | China Watch with Peter Lee | The Great Decoupling: America Sidelined in Asia | May 2, 2017

Source: Newsbud.com



When America was dominant in Asia, American hegemony and Asian security were pretty much synonymous, not necessarily in a good way. By exercising its hegemonic power, the United States determined the content and direction of the Asian security debate.

But now it’s the Great Decoupling! US pursuit of hegemony and Asia’s pursuit of security are diverging. To keep it simple: Asia for the Asians! Start with Korea: America is on the outside looking in as the peace process rolls on.

And, in an unexpected development, India’s Narendra Modi and China’s Xi Jinping make very, very nice as they agree to disagree over Pakistan and envision a post-American Afghanistan.

It’s a scary time for American influence in Asia, and America isn’t liking it. And Australia and Japan, two countries that have hitched their foreign policy to the star of US centrality, are liking it even less.

First, The United States is publicly and painfully grappling with its North Korea policy options: war or negotiations - when you get down to it, peace is the enemy of US influence in Asia. Then, ISIS vowed a Chinese bloodbath. And finally, on a less than lighter note, the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction in the world is not the atomic bomb, or VX nerve agent.
