Looking forward to seeing @GordonGChang and his MAGA boys cry into their beer about the latest indictment of their fascist hero. "Yoon, ex-military officials indicted for allegedly provoking North to justify martial law." https://t.co/s8HO4prgRa
"Takaichi... said she would seek to deepen cooperation with South Korea"
While visiting Yasukuni and claiming "comfort women" were volunteers and that no Korean laborers were forced? Good luck with that. https://t.co/9P2nyHPGuI
Breaking: South Korea's National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik exchanged greetings with Kim Jong Un this morning before China's military parade, according to his office, as per Yonhap News. A rare moment of direct South-North contact in years. https://t.co/440HXkSjvc

I found these interesting stories in Far East news-
But I'm sick, I tell you, too sick to be investigated- both Yoon and Kim Gon-hee, claim to be too sick to answer summons in criminal investigations into their suspected crimes.

Victor Gao offers a staunch defense of China’s development model and foreign policy, positioning it as a pragmatic and stabilizing force in an increasingly multipolar world.
.
Victor Gao contrasts China’s infrastructure-focused outreach to under-developed nations with what he sees as the West’s history of neglect or exploitation of such nations. Gao frames China’s engagement in Africa, Latin America, and Asia as a non-colonial, sovereignty-respecting alternative rooted in mutual development. He dismisses criticisms of China — such as claims of resource extraction in Zimbabwe or coercive diplomacy — as either hypocritical or unfounded, emphasizing that “permanent development achievement is the hard truth.”
Other obvious hard truths that US leaders are not facing: Multipolarity is already here. The use of the US dollar in International trade is no longer mandatory. The Swift System that once tracked all foreign trades, became a sanctions-abuse machine for the US. Swift has now been has been replaced with alternative forms of trade settlement that are much less costly.

South Korean perspective on patriotism renewed by President Lee Jae-myung.
I’d be interested to know what role Japan’s MoFA had in facilitating Abe Akie’s meeting with Putin on 29 May. Officially Japan’s govt warns citizens against all travel to Russia. As well as meeting Putin & Ushakov, Akie went to the Bolshoi in Putin’s limo. https://t.co/ZEsvmsfey0
