hi I am Peter Lee and this is news buds China watch this week murder in Malaysia tragedy in Pakistan monsters on the loose but first a quick look back with his combative February sixteenth press conference Donald Trump began his campaign to shift the political focus to media reporting and away from the truck troubles that the media is trying to report trump has a certain advantage here2/36
because he knows what he's doing and they don't it's hard to speak truth to power when you don't exactly know what the truth is that was the point of my China watch saying that last week titled one China beat media out bungalows truck watch it for useful perspective on what's happening inside the United States right now the big story out of Asia this week was the3/36
murder of Kim Jong nam the half brother of north Korean leader Kim Jong il Kim Jong nam died at the clinic to Kuala Lumpur airport in Malaysia a few minutes after he was apparently quiz a topical agent you're the check in counter two women were recorded on the security cameras committing the attack one of them achieved immediate induction into the north Korean assassin hall of fame4/36
by wearing and LOL tee shirt to her assignment Malaysian police detained two women one of them they say was a Duke thought she was participating in a crank the other the damn LOL carrying a Vietnamese passport and apparently engaged in suspiciously spycraft behaviors like cutting her own here the night before the attack switching hotels so forth with good reason North Korea is suspected of being behind5/36
the attack the north Korean government was keen to get Kim's body back before autopsy could he performed but Malaysia is not obliged now it's big picture time Kim Jong nam was the clown prince of the Kim dynasty he was previously best known for trying to sneak into Japan under Dominican Republic passport so he could take his family to Japan's Disneyland he became persona non grata in6/36
North Korea and resided in exile in Macau reportedly under Chinese government protection the cow is a special administrative region of the PRC various theories flew around concerning the motive for his murder one of which was that he was killed as another poking China's I'd like you to meet I don't think so whoever done it waited until Kim was outside of Macau to avoid directly embarrassing in7/36
angering the P. R. C. that doesn't seem to have completely worked as the P. R. C. reportedly moved some troops to the cream border and also halted coal shipments from the DPRK another theory is that Kim Jong Ian had already put out an assassination order on his half brother five years ago and was simply impatient to get the job done but I think the Washington beacons8/36
bill Gertz got it right in his new book I wore which came out early last month Kim Jong nam was being kept on ice possible use as a figure head in a post regime change government in North Korea Kurtz wrote the program will include coop the Kim Jong nam and conducting information operations that will seek to install the brother as a replacement for the current leader9/36
Kurtz modestly declines to take credit for alerting North Korea to the Kim Jong nam gambit and getting a murdered I think I can get Mister Kurtz off the hook Google Kim Jong in decapitation and here's some of what you get there's a lot more of that starting in March of twenty sixteen when it became clear that the strategic patience strategy had failed and North Korea was10/36
quickly improving its nuclear and missile technologies south Korean intelligence started talking publicly about some special forces who rooks to intimidate Kim Jong UN with the idea that he would get murdered if you went too far with his programs the flipside of decapitating North Korea is re capitated North Korea that is to say bundling the assassination with an internal subversion and regime change program of the sword11/36
Kurtz was talking about it looks like the Korean Central Intelligence Agency expected to console the north Korean people its Communist Party and its military for the loss of Kim Jong in with us another Kim the most likely candidate genial pro western Disney loving join them I doubt the Chinese had any illusions that this was a workable plan but they might have agreed to extend their protection12/36
to Kim Jong nam as a favor to South Korea and to keep their options open so genus is at the KCIA probably fast track him to man's murder not bill Gertz the bottom line for Kim Jong in I think was not just fear and anger at his brother he knows the US right now is looking at two options for North Korea military action or negotiation death13/36
of Kim Jong nam western pawn in the regime change Chesky it's been removed from the board providing an advantage to Kim Jong il so the United States one more reason to look at the DPRK is preferred alternative negotiations here you go February eighteenth Washington post if you're a loyal viewer of China watch you saw this coming weeks ago Pat yourself on the back so in the14/36
case of North Korea murder Mike preventive war not the case I'm afraid in Pakistan yeah made him stop South Asia as a series of terrorist bombings ripped through Pakistan last week the most horrific targeted worshippers at one of Pakistan's most famous and magnificent soon shrugs say why at least eighty people died and hundreds were injured as a suicide bomber detonated his best filled with ball bearings15/36
bolts inside the crowded shrine Pakistan blamed Afghanistan directly in India indirectly with its Interior Ministry stating four elements and intelligence agencies were involved in these incidents this sort of conclusion is Scott that Afghan and Indian analysts and also by critics of Pakistan's admittedly dysfunctional and dis honest security apparatus modus operandi after every terrorist attack it's basically blame everybody arrest everybody and when possible kill everybody indeed16/36
after the sale one attack initial reports stated that the Jamaat all our faction of the Pakistan Taliban operates out of heathens along the Pakistan Afghanistan border had claimed responsibility for the attack then the attribution switched up basis Pakistan together with Russia and China is pumping up as the key menace in the region now the investigators are saying well maybe someone else did it but I think17/36
it would be a dangerous mistake to leap to the conclusion that Pakistan is simply engaged in political ask covering and accusing India and Afghanistan as I discuss in an article on news but anybody who wants to get anything done in Afghanistan deals with terrorists I suspect the recent atrocities were executed with the encouragement and facilitation of the Indian secret services very extensive apparatus and assets in18/36
the region including the Afghan security services why provoke reprisals further poison relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan and sabotage ongoing discussions brokered by Russia and China that are designed to bring the Afghan Taliban and Pakistan back into Kabul at India's expense the most recent round of discussions held in Moscow on February fifteenth concluded to discussed of India with a call to include Taliban an editorial in the19/36
Indian express criticized the talks warning that they would play into Pakistan's hands bring back the Taliban the editorial concluded New Delhi along with cobbled needs to remind the global community of the dangers turning the clock back and undoing the gains made in Afghanistan in the past seventeen years it doesn't uphill task but it will have to be done day after the conference ended the say one20/36
bombing occurred coincidence maybe but maybe not maybe it was a reminder and maybe also a message to China as a member of the crow Afghan Taliban alignment key ally of Pakistan and a nettlesome rival India a central element in India's diplomacy and security policy trying to wedge China way from Pakistan by any means necessary we are disrupting the Afghan peace process the recent terrorist attacks may21/36
have been intended as a message to China that Pakistan is extremely vulnerable indeed a failing state and a strategic liability perhaps the attacks were also meant as demonstration before Chinese interests but expect to suffer China doesn't moderate it's court Pakistan in an indication that China was not turning its back on Pakistan Pakistan media reported on not one but two letters of condolence China on the say22/36
one attack one from xi Jinping addressed the president of Pakistan and one from P. R. C. premier league coach job to know why Sharif in contrast India and the United States limited themselves to terse statement sympathy foreign affairs spokesman in case you're wondering no the Eiffel Tower it's not lit up in Pakistani green and white the one hundred victims were either not innocent enough or not23/36
white enough useful tell concerning Chinese attitudes toward India whether or not China permits the designation of one lawsuit OCR as a terrorist by the UN sanctions committee the suit is rather unambiguously a terrorist of long standing developed sheltered and cooperating Pakistan's intelligence service India has been pushing for him to be designated as a terrorist China to put a hold on the designation that's realist permanent member24/36
of the security council block the designation again and again a few days ago China said it needed more evidence to support designation I doubt China will be inclined to make it genuine told from Pakistan toward India since India's strategic bottom line is to expel charter from South Asia and a reasonably functional Pakistan China's best hope to protect its tee GIC interests in the region I've often25/36
said that the first major projection of Chinese military power in the century maybe into halfback if the P. R. C. feels the situation is getting out of hand specially if it feels it is getting out of hand because indeed meddling I could see the P. R. C. government dispatching forces to assist Pakistan and maybe even conducting some kind unilateral security operation in northern Afghanistan near the26/36
Chinese in Pakistan borders China really doesn't want to do that especially in a Muslim country but it will if it has to and I think the Russian experience in Syria is given the PRC idea that this kind of intervention can work the right circumstances right forces and the right local partner the combination of Pakistan's weakness India's hostility China's determination to support Pakistan probably makes South Asia27/36
the most dangerous region in the world that's even before you add in the U. S. fact with the United States in power in India eager to contain China and desperate to save its own bacon of Afghanistan and need I mention all these countries have nuclear weapons in my opinion the terror attacks last week or an escalation and another step on the road to war a road28/36
the governments of India Pakistan and China are all preparing to take Italy on a lighter note monsters monsters have a long and glorious history in Asian cinema beginning with a magnificent Toho films Godzilla series and its multiple spinoffs following Japan other countries in the region have gotten into the act one of the lesser known highlights in oriental monster films known as card you movies Cole got29/36

Lister Matt Damon and it's got monsters with a taste for human flesh ravaging medieval China not just one lots of them trying to preach the great wall store the world I32/36
