"You have achieved what Leonardo aspired to." - Curtis Wong, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Redmond Research Lab; and Trusted Expert, Bill Gates' Codex Leicester To get your copy now, just click here for a special offer for SNS members only --- Publisher's Note: In this issue of the Asia Letter, Scott Foster again delivers what he seems best at: a pragmatic, smart, and surprising view of Asian plans and interests you will not have seen anywhere else. In this case, the subject is the Koreas - specifically, North Korea. If you think you understand the DPRK because you've read Western media, get ready to start from scratch. Having lived and worked in both Japan and South Korea, Scott paints a picture of NK this week which will seem as different as it is correct, for Western readers. How does China really play in this story? What is Russia's role? Is there a US strategy, and if not, at what cost? And, most important, is all the noise over nuclear weapons a sideshow to the realpolitik of new alliances, both economic and military, that are rapidly reshaping Asia? For those members now aware of the new SNS-named CRINK alliance, get ready to add Syria to the moniker, even as China moves to work with Italy, and Greece, and Serbia, while Russia cements economic ties with a stressed South Korea --- It's a different geopolitical world, and Scott has painted it clearly. - mra. |
