#1 IIRC YONHAP/TOPIX > seems KIMMIE + REGIME = PYONGYANG have once again ORDERED the already starving NORTH KOREAN CITIZENRY to DONATE = GIFT FOOD,+ OTHER TO THE NORTH KOREAN ARMY.

Approxi 1/3rd of the DPRK's annual budget repor goes directly to MILITARY SPENDING, so I guess the above is evidencia of the remaining 2/3rd being used for INDRECT MIL SPENDING???

#2 PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > JAPAN SHOULD BOOST ASIA TIES, BUT BASE ITS FOREIGN POLICY ON US ALLIANCE.

* SAME > JAPAN'S BUDGETS SET TO MOVE DEEPER INTO THE RED. Its "Primary Balance Deficit" is already more than 200% the size of its economy.

* SAME > {Beijing] ITS OFFICAL: CHINA IS THE WORLD'S NUMBER TWO ECONOMY, not Japan.

OTHER = JAPAN fears the seemingly looming loss of its traditional Power, Position, + Influence to China as per the ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK [ADP].

* SAME > US NAVY: TOO EARLY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL IN THE RACE WID CHINA.

ARTIC = USDOD looking for "PLACES, NOT BASES", i.e. new or former regional base locales to keep US Milfors, etc. out of harm's way in case of US-CHINA WAR [LR PLA Bomber, Missle strikes].

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Hypersonic]BLACKSWIFT: US RESPONSE TO THREATS FROM CHINA + RUSSIA.

* WMF > THE ULTIMATE/GREATEST THREAT TO COMMUNIST RULE IN CHINA STEMS NOT FROM RADICAL ISLAM OR COMPETITION WID WESTERN DEMOCRACY + CAPITALISM, BUT THE CCP'S ABILITY TO MODERNIZE + MEET THE CONSUMER DEMANDS OF CHINA'S 1.3-1.5 BILYUHN POPULATION | CHINA'S GREATEST TERROR THREAT IS ITS OWN DEMOGRAPHIC, CONSUMER-MATERIALIST "BLACK HOLE".
