In 2014 Mongolia initiated an international conference in Ulaanbaatar, to discuss security problems in North-East Asia, particularly on the Korean peninsula.

The Trump administration has made the Chinese industrial transformation strategy, “Made in China: 2025,” or simply China 2025 the explicit target of its current trade war offensive against the Peoples’ Republic. Western industrial leading countries, including Germany, are understandably alarmed. Only they are ten years late, and until now have foolishly refused to collaborate with China in key developments, including of the new economic Silk Road or Belt Road Initiative. Here I want to briefly indicate what China is doing.

65 years after the 1953 armistice that stopped the open fighting of the Korean War, the nations involved still haven’t replaced it with a permanent peace treaty. This means that the Korean War is still technically ongoing, 68 years later. That’s apparently where the US intends for it to stay.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday met with Tadamori Oshima, speaker of the House of Representatives of the Japanese parliament, calling for a healthy and stable bilateral relationship.

La méfiance de Pyongyang serait due aux fausses promesses de Trump. Ce dernier pense, à tort ou à raison, que des jeux « gagnant-gagnant » ou « perdant-perdant » peuvent garantir les intérêts des États-Unis. Après le sommet de Singapour, le secrétaire d’État américain Mike Pompeo avait estimé que la Corée du Nord était toujours une menace et que les sanctions contre cette dernière devaient être renouvelées encore un an. Pyongyang s’en était bien douté et avait transmis un message à Trump disant qu’« il ne ferait pas de concession sans en obtenir ».

On July 7, The New York Times reported that North Korea accused the US of a “gangster-like demand for denuclearization”, even as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called talks productive. One should not be at all surprised at this statement. The hand writing, and now the hand wringing, were clearly on the wall. When two leaders meet with wildly opposing agendas, the outcome can only be, as Rudyard Kipling famously said, “East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet”

China Thursday refuted the remarks made by a senior U.S. official who blamed China for the bilateral trade dispute, saying his words distorted the facts.

Die Volksrepublik China, die lange mit der Falun Gong-Sekte konfrontiert war, entdeckt mit Entsetzen das Wiederaufleben der „Zurück zu Jerusalem“ Bewegung. Diese evangelischen Sekte war in den 1920er Jahren in der Provinz Shandong (im Nordosten Chinas) mächtig, eine Region mit einer synkretistischen religiösen Tradition. Sie verschwand mit der nationalistischen Revolution und taucht heute wieder auf, vor allem in der chinesischen Diaspora in Afrika.

The Shanghai municipal government Tuesday introduced a total of 100 new measures covering five areas in a bid to further expand the city`s opening-up.

With a China-US trade war now under way, China`s natural impulse was to lash out against Trump, not only in the state-controlled media, but also in statements by top ranking officials, such as an angry diatribe by the Sinochem chairman, who quoted Michelle Obama, saying "when they go low, we go high."

Die Bundesregierung bemüht sich um den Ausbau der Beziehungen zu der strategisch rasch an Bedeutung gewinnenden Inselregion des Südwestpazifik. Hintergrund ist die zunehmende Rivalität zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und China, in der Washington die Region als "Tor in den Indo-Pazifik" begreift.

The US military has formally ended a 70-year presence in the South Korean capital of Seoul on Friday, with the opening of a new military headquarters further south in the city of Pyeongtaek. The US has had forces in Seoul since shortly after World War 2. The new base is farther south, and therefore out of the range of North Korean artillery.

La collecte de renseignement humain (Humint) en provenance de la Corée du Nord est quasiment impossible. Pour des raisons assez faciles à deviner, les « révélations » de dissidents ou autres déserteurs n’ont jamais été fiables. Reste le renseignement électronique (Elint) et selon les dernières données collectées, il semblerait que la Corée du Nord est en train d’accélerer ce que l’on pourrait assimiler à une révolution des affaires militaires suivant ses propres moyens.
