How has the financial situation of the Asian giant changed? How does it look like today? What financial challenges is China facing? What impact do the recent political decisions made by the United States have on China’s financial and economic situation? What might be the economic consequences of the China – US rivalry?

On the first anniversary of the reunification of the Korean people under one controlling government, the country’s first general election was held. And in a mild upset according to Western observers; Supreme Commander of the Korean Defense Force, General Choe Taun-dae, beat out his four competitors to be named the first Premier of the Unified Republic of Korea. Choe avoided a run-off election by grabbing fifty-two percent of the vote. In his former homeland, the Northern provinces; the general tallied ninety-seven percent of the vote total.

The People's Republic of China's integration into the global economy and East and West Germany's reunification show the Democratic People's Republic of Korea — or the DPRK — how it might become a market economy within 20 to 25 years. Naoyuki Yoshino, dean of the Asian Development Bank Institute, told the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan that the DPRK could also look to the success of other Asian countries in using domestic savings to kick-start growth. Other key ingredients for a successful transition would be infrastructure development, education and training, as well as the promotion of student and worker exchanges between the DPRK and other countries. The country could start with a postal savings network similar to those used in Japan and China, which would help start the process of building a financial system. From that, insurance and pension funds could be developed. The money that was deposited could be used for economic development.

Organizer and educator Derek Ford gives a historical context for the current imperialist aggression surrounding the DPRK, explains the 'Juche' ideology, and recounts some firsthand propaganda-shattering experiences from his travels inside the country. The day after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced the travel ban for US citizens to North Korea, Derek Ford traveled to the country on a fact-finding delegation. In this episode, he shares many of those firsthand experiences with me, and discusses how what he saw in person was quite different from the propaganda he'd been told in the US. Along with this he discusses the 'Juche' ideology, which is essentially the guiding philosophical ideology of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and gives a quick history lesson on both the Juche ideology and the country itself.

On the long-in-the-making first installment of the Communist Roundtable's series on the "enigmatic" Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, I probe Rinita and Luke's previous knowledge on DPRK. What do two America-based, highly-educated people 'know' about North Korea? Where they every taught about it in school? What is being taught about it in school now? Luke, a current educator, provides us with a propaganda text that the American state utilizes today, to provide information about Korea. And Rinita, a native of Bengal, shares her unique insight into DPRK and Communism, and how North Korea is really just generally not talked about at all. This is in contrast to USA, where North Korea is generally always a 'hot topic'.

The incidence of MM shows ethnic difference evidenced by US SEER and IARC data. Asians show lower incidence compared to Caucasian. However, there are growing evidences that MM is increasing in Asia. The researchers collected 3,405 patient data from 22 centers of 7countries to build an Asian myeloma data base. Retrospective analyses were carried out to elucidate the presence of clinical and cytogenetic characteristics of MM in Asia. Median age was 62 years, 56% were male, bone lesion, severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, extramedullary plasmacytoma, hypercalcemia, hypoalbuminemia, renal dysfunction, increased LDH was observed in 80/39/8/16/19/52/23/28% respectively. IgG/A/LC was 55/22/17%. ISS was 20/36/44%. Abnormal cytogenetics were observed in 33%, hypodiploid 15%, 13q deletion 12%, FISH analysis shows t (4; 14), t (11; 14), t (14; 16), del 17p, 11/17/4/13% respectively. OS was 47 months. Age, Hemoglobin, platelet, plasmacytoma, BMPC, calcium, albumin, creatinine, beta-2 MG, LDH, ISS, abnormal cytogenetics, 13q- by conventional cytogenetics, t(4;14) by FISH, ASCT, response to treatment, achievement of VGPR were prognostic variables for OS. Among them, azotemia, ISS, heavy chain, plasmacytoma, abnormal cytogenetics, ASCT, response to treatment remain as prognostic variables by multivariate analysis. There were no unique clinical or cytogenetic characteristics identifies in Asian population. However, Dr Lee states that some unique findings, such as high incidence of del 17p in China, need to be explored in future study.
