This week, NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll and Chris Green of International Crisis Group join the podcast to discuss a Seoul court's decision to sentence former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to 30 years in prison, finding that he orchestrated a drone operation that sought to provoke a North Korean response and create a pretext for declaring martial law. The episode also explores Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, the absence of denuclearization from official summit readouts, China's increasingly pragmatic approach to North Korea's nuclear status and the prospects for expanded trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.  Finally, Chad and Chris preview the upcoming West Coast Exchange, a three-day gathering of Korea watchers, diplomats, journalists, academics and policymakers. They discuss the event's emphasis on informal networking and field visits, the value of off-the-record conversations and why participants often gain as much from discussions outside the conference room as they do from the formal sessions. About the podcast: The NK News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering the latest developments in and around North Korea. Each episode breaks down the week's news cycle with NK News journalists, analysts and expert guests.

Terug naar het Koude-Oorlogscenario | Anthropic en de strategische toegang tot AI | Xi's beleid niet goed voor China zelf Rusland houdt ondanks een stagnerende economie de mogelijkheid van prikacties tegen NAVO-landen nadrukkelijk open. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk leggen uit hoe Moskou met relatief goedkope operaties de westerse eensgezindheid probeert te breken, terwijl NAVO-landen juist miljarden investeren in afschrikking die idealiter nooit wordt ingezet. Europese defensiepolitiek schuift daarmee terug naar een Koude-Oorlogsscenario, waarin het ontbreken van oorlog het bewijs van succes moet zijn. Poetin verhoogt tegelijk de nucleaire druk wanneer Oekraïne militair succes boekt, maar reageert opvallend laconiek op droneaanvallen op Russisch grondgebied. De Wijk herinnert aan 2022, toen Amerikaanse diensten de kans op Russische kernwapeninzet rond Cherson op vijftig procent inschatten en Washington via geheime kanalen ingreep. De combinatie van druk op het slagveld en Poetins afhankelijke positie maakt de nucleaire drempel de komende jaren eerder brozer dan steviger. Xi Jinping verdubbelt intussen zijn strategische gok op Rusland, ondanks een verzwakkende Chinese economie en toenemende westerse handelsbelemmeringen. Boekestijn en De Wijk schetsen hoe Beijing via technologie en grondstoffen de wereldorde wil kantelen ten gunste van China, terwijl de Europese Unie reageert met technologisch protectionisme, een eigen AI-strategie en nauwere banden met India. De vraag hoeveel speelruimte Europa overhoudt tussen Washington en Beijing, hangt nu af van Xi’s bereidheid om Poetin ooit echt te laten vallen. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde.

Della Cina in questo momento si parla molto per la sua postura internazionale, una proiezione che sembra indicare determinazione, sicurezza. La Cina sembra un paese in pieno controllo di quanto accade nel mondo. Ma meno si sottolineano alcune problematiche interne, come ad esempio la disoccupazione giovanile.

Nordkorea är Kinas enda militärallierade och i dagarna besökte Xi Jinping sin vän Kim Jong-un. Hör om samarbetet och hur länderna bildar en mäktig trio ihop med Ryssland. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. På propagandabilderna från statsbesöket i Pyongyang syns hoppande nordkoreanska barn och flaggviftande folkskaror som välkomnar Xi. Informationen från mötet är begränsad och hårt kontrollerad, men enligt en utskrift uttrycker Kina och Nordkorea att man nu vill närma sig varandra militärt. Nordkorea är sedan decennier det enda landet som Kina har en formell militärallians med. Hör om hur det blev så, vad alliansen innebär idag och hur Ryssland ingår maktdynamiken. Faktorerna som triggar alliansenTydligt är att Xi Jinping nu vill visa att han prioriterar relationen med Nordkorea. Besöket förra veckan var Xi Jinpings första utlandsresa sedan oktober och det första besöket i Nordkorea på sju år. Hör om faktorerna som nu triggar närmandet. Enligt vad som är känt från mötet tog Kina inte upp Nordkoreas kärnvapen, vilket kan tyda på att Kina ser med blidare ögon på Nordkoreas kärnvapen. Medverkande: Moa Kärnstrand, Kinakorrespondent. Hanna Sahlberg, Kinareporter.Programledare: Björn DjurbergProducent: Therese Rosenvinge

Michael McFaul explains that China's current global posture is deeply rooted in the "century of humiliation," a period of historical weakness that Xi Jinping is determined to never repeat. Under Xi's leadership, the state has become significantly more autocratic, utilizing advanced technology for domestic monitoring and total surveillance. McFaulpoints out that Xi is moving away from the market-driven ideas that fueled China's growth, potentially leading to future economic stagnation. Despite this tightening control, internal demands for freedom remain in regions like Hong Kongand Xinjiang, where people continue to resist state-led repression. (4)11925 SHANGHAI

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-11-26.1900 BRUSSELSAnatol Lieven discusses NATO's top US commander, General Grynkewich, who states Russia is not looking for conflict despite European concerns about US military withdrawals. Lieven agrees, noting that the Russian army is bogged down in Ukraine, making a deliberate attack on NATO members like the Baltics appear militarily absurd. (1)Anatol Lieven examines rising anti-immigrant tensions in the United Kingdom, where violent demonstrations in Belfastand England highlight growing public anger toward sudden demographic changes and crimes allegedly committed by asylum seekers. Lieven suggests these tensions are politically explosive, potentially forcing a leadership change in the Labour Party if right-wing parties continue to gain ground. (2)Leila Philip discusses the ancient Algonquin legend of Great Beaver, an environmental parable about resource hoarding and the creation of the Connecticut River Valley. The story reflects traditional ecological knowledge, emphasizing the beaver's immense power to control the water cycle and shape resilient landscapes. (3)Cliff May argues that Qatar utilizes its vast energy wealth to buy influence through professional sports, media platforms like Al Jazeera, and university campuses. He argues these investments allow the state to manipulate Western academic discourse and hedge political bets while hosting major US military assets. (4)Jack Burnham discusses China and North Korea's strategic alignment, noting that Xi Jinping's festive visit to Pyongyang signals China's willingness to de-emphasize denuclearization in favor of regional stability and strategic balancing against the US. North Korea, now an "arsenal of tyranny," leverages its military experience from the Ukrainian front lines to strengthen its regime. (5)Jack Burnham examines the Pentagon's 1260H list, which identifies Chinese companies allegedly assisting the PRC's military-industrial base, signaling increased regulatory scrutiny for these entities. Burnham recommends streamlining government lists to prevent companies from exploiting gaps and advises retail investors of the national security risks these firms pose. (6)Andrea Ferrara describes using the James Webb Space Telescope to investigate a mysterious red light source initially thought to be the most distant galaxy. By observing luminosity changes over two years, he determined it is likely a rare pair-instability supernova, resulting from the explosion of a massive primordial star. (7)Andrea Ferrara proposes building a 40-meter telescope on the lunar surface to succeed the James Webb Space Telescope. This moon-based facility would avoid atmospheric interference, allowing scientists to directly detect the universe's first stars and resolve long-standing mysteries regarding the aftermath of the Big Bang. (8)Mickey Trescott explains that autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks its own organs, a condition affecting a high percentage of women. The protocol is a diet and lifestyle experiment designed to help individuals identify personal triggers and manage their chronic health symptoms. (9)Mickey Trescott describes how the core autoimmune protocol involves a strict 30-to-90-day elimination phase removing common triggers like grains, dairy, and nightshades. This "detective work" calms the immune system, allowing patients to systematically reintroduce foods to discover which specific ingredients negatively impact their health. (10)Mickey Trescott introduces a modified autoimmune protocol that includes rice and coffee, making it more accessible and affordable than the core version. A successful transition requires tracking baseline symptoms and preparing the kitchen to handle the nutritional demands of the upcoming elimination and reintroduction phases. (11)Mickey Trescott emphasizes consuming nutrient-dense foods like bone broth and fatty fish to resolve inflammation and support the microbiome. During reintroduction, patients identify specific food "villains" by monitoring symptom flare-ups, ultimately empowering them to choose a diet that maintains their long-term vitality. (12)Evan Ellis discusses Bolivia's severe instability as blockades led by supporters of Evo Morales disrupt the capital's supply of food and oxygen. Morales is described as a dangerous figure using cocaine-related funds to destabilize the democratically elected government, posing a significant risk to regional US allies. (13)Evan Ellis highlights a razor-thin election in Peru between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sanchez, exposing deep national divisions over corruption and wealth distribution. The outcome is geopolitically significant, as China already maintains a massive foothold in Peru through control of critical infrastructure, including major ports, mines, and electricity. (14)Evan Ellis notes how public frustration with rising crime and President Petro's "total peace" plan has fueled the rise of hardline political candidates in Colombia. As the country grapples with internal conflict, many Colombians seek a "strong hand" to restore security, mirroring historical law-and-order movements seen in neighboring South Americannations. (15)Evan Ellis discusses how a banking scandal involving Flavio Bolsonaro has impacted Brazilian polls, giving Lula da Silva a temporary lead. Meanwhile, El Salvador's President Bukele remains highly popular due to a dramatic security transformation that has revitalized urban life, despite international concerns regarding due process and human rights. (16)Four name/term corrections: (1) Grinkovich → Grynkewich (General Alexus Grynkewich, current SACEUR) (2) Labor Party → Labour Party (UK spelling per house style) (3) Laya Philip → Leila Philip (the actual author of Beaverland) (6) 126H list → 1260H list (Section 1260H of the NDAA — the standard reference)

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former DoD Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and former Pentagon Comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the Senate markup of its version of the National Defense Authorization Act as House appropriators unveil their $1.07 trillion defense spending measure; as lawmakers pass Reconciliation 2.0 that funds President Trump's immigration efforts, Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, see dim prospects for the $350 billion Reconciliation 3.0 plus up for the Pentagon; how the administration and lawmakers can pack $1.5 trillion in planned spending into a smaller funding package; the future of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act; the president's decision to tap US attorney Jay Clayton as the next Director of National Intelligence; what's next for the Iran war as Trump declares a deal involving Tehran and Jerusalem is imminent, a stance Iran and Israel deny; as Russia escalates its provocations against Europe, Washington prepares deep cuts to US capabilities for NATO, including cuts to fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, and refueling aircraft as well as a missile sub and warships including an aircraft carrier as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Alex “Grinch” Grynkewich tells a European audience that “Russia is not looking for a conflict;” British Defence Secretary John Healey and Armed Forces Minister Al Carns resigned to protest Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's unwillingness to increase defense spending to bolster the country's flagging military capabilities; Starmer visits Tokyo where officials express frustration that Britain is underfunding the Global Combat Air Program that includes Japan and Italy; Japan and South Korea work increasingly closely with Europe with the Takaichi to expand her tour of Europe during the upcoming G7 meeting; China continues to salami slice in South China Sea and arrests US citizen Min Zin, testing its detente with Washington; and Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang bolstered Kim Jong Un's nuclear hand.

O Major-General Arnaut Moreira diz que Trump é um mestre a manipular a realidade. Defende ainda que a visita de Xi Jinping à Coreia foi por ciúmes e para travar a influência de Putin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pendant plusieurs décennies, la mondialisation a été le moteur principal de l'expansion économique mondiale. Fondée sur la baisse des barrières commerciales, l'essor des chaînes de valeur internationales et la circulation croissante des capitaux, elle a profondément transformé les économies et les sociétés. Pourtant, depuis la crise financière de 2008, puis les chocs du Covid-19, de la guerre en Ukraine et des tensions sino-américaines, ce modèle semble entrer dans une nouvelle phase.

Son expertise : Géopolitique maritime Routes commerciales mondiales Enjeux stratégiques des océans Ressources marines et transition énergétique Les grandes thématiques abordées 1. La mondialisation : une histoire ancienne Les intervenants rappellent que la mondialisation ne date pas des années 1990. Une première phase d'intégration économique existe déjà à la fin du XIXᵉ siècle, avec l'intensification des échanges commerciaux et financiers entre les grandes puissances. Les économistes soulignent qu'il existe depuis toujours une tension entre deux réalités : les bénéfices de l'ouverture économique la crainte d'une perte de souveraineté des États Cette opposition traverse toute l'histoire économique moderne. 2. L'âge d'or de l'hypermondialisation Les années 1990-2007 constituent ce que l'économiste Dani Rodrik appelle « l'hyperglobalisation ». Cette période est marquée par : l'ouverture massive des marchés l'explosion des chaînes de valeur mondiales la montée en puissance des multinationales la globalisation financière L'entrée de la Chine dans l'économie mondiale accélère fortement ce mouvement. Les entreprises délocalisent leur production pour réduire les coûts et les échanges internationaux atteignent des niveaux inédits. 3. La crise de 2008 : un tournant majeur Pour Christophe Rodrigues et Eric Keslassy, la crise financière de 2008 marque le début d'une nouvelle époque. Elle révèle plusieurs faiblesses : des inégalités croissantes une gouvernance mondiale insuffisante une dépendance excessive à certains marchés une défiance grandissante envers la mondialisation Les intervenants considèrent que les difficultés actuelles ne sont pas nées avec Donald Trump mais s'inscrivent dans une tendance plus ancienne de repli économique et politique. 4. Les États-Unis remettent en cause le modèle L'émission revient longuement sur la politique commerciale américaine. Selon l'administration Trump, la mondialisation aurait : affaibli l'industrie américaine détruit des emplois industriels renforcé la dépendance envers la Chine Les invités nuancent fortement cette analyse. Ils rappellent que les États-Unis restent parmi les grands gagnants de la mondialisation, notamment dans les services et les technologies. Ils soulignent également que les droits de douane pénalisent souvent les entreprises et consommateurs américains eux-mêmes. 5. La Chine, grande gagnante de la mondialisation La Chine apparaît comme le pays ayant le mieux profité de l'ouverture des marchés mondiaux. Les intervenants expliquent qu'elle est passée : d'une économie à bas coûts ; à une puissance technologique de premier plan. Aujourd'hui, elle domine de nombreux secteurs industriels : batteries véhicules électriques panneaux solaires terres rares raffinage de minerais stratégiques La Chine représente déjà plus du tiers de la production manufacturière mondiale et pourrait encore accroître son poids dans les prochaines années. 6. Une mondialisation qui se réorganise Pour Elvire Fabry, il n'y a pas de véritable démondialisation. Les flux commerciaux continuent d'exister mais changent de forme. Les entreprises cherchent désormais : à diversifier leurs fournisseurs à sécuriser leurs approvisionnements à réduire certains risques géopolitiques Des concepts comme : nearshoring friendshoring relocalisation partielle prennent de l'importance. L'objectif n'est plus seulement la recherche du coût le plus faible, mais aussi la résilience des chaînes de valeur. 7. Les océans, colonne vertébrale de la mondialisation Avec Pauline Pic, l'émission aborde la dimension maritime de la mondialisation. Quelques chiffres rappellent l'importance stratégique des mers : environ 80 % du commerce mondial passe par voie maritime près de 90 % du trafic Internet mondial transite par des câbles sous-marins les grands détroits restent des points de passage essentiels Les tensions actuelles autour du détroit d'Ormuz illustrent la fragilité de ces infrastructures mondiales. 8. La bataille mondiale pour les ressources stratégiques Les intervenants évoquent l'importance croissante : des minerais critiques des terres rares des métaux nécessaires à la transition énergétique La Chine dispose d'une avance considérable : extraction raffinage transformation industrielle Cette situation pousse l'Union européenne à développer : ses propres capacités industrielles le recyclage des partenariats avec des pays tiers L'enjeu est d'éviter de nouvelles dépendances stratégiques. 9. Les perdants de la mondialisation L'émission revient également sur les conséquences sociales du phénomène. Les invités rappellent que la mondialisation a produit : des gagnants... consommateurs bénéficiant de prix plus bas entreprises exportatrices grandes métropoles secteurs technologiques ...mais aussi des perdants ouvriers touchés par les délocalisations territoires industriels fragilisés classes moyennes confrontées à la concurrence internationale Eric Keslassy souligne qu'aujourd'hui même les emplois qualifiés et les ingénieurs peuvent être concernés par la compétition mondiale. 10. Quel avenir pour l'Europe ? L'une des conclusions majeures de l'émission concerne l'Union européenne. Pour les invités, l'Europe doit : renforcer sa politique industrielle investir dans l'innovation sécuriser ses approvisionnements développer des partenariats commerciaux diversifiés préserver une forme de multilatéralisme L'objectif n'est pas l'autarcie mais une souveraineté économique mieux maîtrisée. Les intervenants estiment que l'Europe dispose encore d'atouts majeurs grâce à son marché de 450 millions de consommateurs et à sa capacité à négocier collectivement.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-10-26.Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang, noting that Kim Jong-un now views himself as a strategic equal to Xi and Putin. Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)Professor Jim Holmes discusses the naval balance between the U.S. and China, suggesting the PLA Navy aims for six aircraft carriers to project power in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. While China has made strides in naval aviation without the heavy losses the U.S. historically endured, Holmes believes they still lag behind in technological sophistication and human tactical proficiency. (2)Victoria Coates highlights Taiwan's indispensable role in the global AI revolution through TSMC's high-end chip production, which the U.S. and China currently cannot replicate. She emphasizes that Taiwan's engineering "super workers" are a state secret. Coates also discusses the political friction in Washington regarding arms sales and the need for Taiwan to increase its own defense spending. (3)Victoria Coates addresses the Pentagon's decision to list major Chinese companies like BYD and Alibaba as security risks due to their military ties. She argues for clear country-of-origin labeling on products to inform American consumers. Furthermore, Coates criticizes the Biden administration for prioritizing climate goals over addressing China's use of forced labor in the solar panel supply chain. (4)Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy. (5)Natalie Ecanow explains that Qatari wealth is controlled by the Al-Thani autocracy, whose values often conflict with U.S. interests, such as their support for Hamas and the Taliban. She highlights the lack of transparency in Qatarifunding, citing a lawsuit that revealed nearly half a billion dollars in undisclosed money sent to Texas A&M University, and calls for stricter U.S. disclosure laws. (6)Joel Kotkin examines the definition of fascism, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist because she respects democratic norms. He identifies China's government-led economy as the closest modern parallel to historical fascism. Kotkin also warns of "techno-fascism," where a small group of global tech companies exert unprecedented control over public opinion and information through surveillance tools. (7)Joel Kotkin disputes the label of "fascist" for the MAGA movement, noting it lacks the youth-driven, paramilitary organization characteristic of movements led by Mussolini or Hitler. He describes MAGA as a chaotic coalition of various interest groups held together by Donald Trump's personality. Kotkin emphasizes that using the term as a political slur ruins the possibility of necessary civil discourse. (8)Michael Bernstam discusses a looming glut of liquefied natural gas driven by record U.S. shale production, which is stabilizing energy prices in Europe. Regarding Russia, he explains that while crude exports continue, Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have created a domestic manufacturing crisis, leading to fuel shortages for Russian agriculture and industry that are difficult to repair under sanctions. (9)Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption. Simultaneously, the U.S. has reached record domestic oil production of nearly 14 million barrels per day. These factors combined help lower global oil prices despite declining inventories in other OECD countries. (10)Tal Fortgang explores Justice Scalia's legal philosophy through a biography by James Rosen, focusing on Scalia's dissent in Lee v. Weisman regarding religious benedictions at public graduations. Fortgang explains how Scaliapopularized "originalism" and "textualism," arguing that the Constitution should be interpreted based on the original public meaning of the text rather than through subjective "moral readings" by judges. (11)Tal Fortgang discusses the "Scalian revolution" that shifted the Supreme Court toward judicial restraint. He notes that while Scalia faced a hostile press and "nasty" internal criticism from colleagues like Harry Blackmun, his ideas eventually prevailed. Fortgang also observes that the modern partisan venom in confirmation hearings began during Scalia's era with the contentious treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. (12)Simon Constable reports from France on falling global commodity prices for food and energy due to supply meeting demand. He then shifts to the immigration crisis in Britain, where violent incidents in Belfast and Southampton have fueled public outrage. Constable attributes the unrest to a failure of both major parties to manage unfettered immigration and the lack of cultural integration.

Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)

Then, Ivanka Trump claims to have "discovered" a pristine, protected ecological island off the coast of Albania, sparking major protests and a government corruption investigation. The FIFA World Cup kicks off this week across three countries and 16 cities, and the guys dig into the Trump administration's decision to use the biggest sporting event on earth as an opportunity to deny visas to fans, journalists, and even Africa's top referee. Xi Jinping pays his first visit to North Korea in seven years amidst reports about Kim Jong Un's surprising economic turnaround. Former Trump National Security advisor John Bolton pleads guilty to mishandling classified information, while a CIA official is caught with 303 gold bars and a 15-year-old Nigerian congressional candidate is exposed for faking his age on the campaign trail.

China is home to over one billion internet users, and about half are consumers of internet literature. While the industry started as a group of hobby writers, it's now a multimillion dollar industry that has spawned adaptations to TV shows, films, and games. One of the most successful genres has become a phenomenon in and of itself. It's called "alt-history" fiction, which typically follows a contemporary man traveling back in time to save ancient China from a crisis. Brooke sits down with Rongbin Han, a Chinese cyberpolitics expert at the University of Georgia, about why this particular genre of web novel has grabbed so many readers' attention, what it can teach us about how Chinese people are imagining China's rise on a global stage, and how it's an illustration of a state and its people co-producing, or negotiating, a shared vision of an ideal, powerful China.     On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Greg Scarlatoiu Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes the meeting between Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un. He highlights the distinct leadership style of the current North Korean leader compared to his predecessors, marking a significant and generational shift.1952

On this week's episode, NK News Lead Correspondent Shreyas Reddy unpacks Chinese President Xi Jinping's first visit to North Korea in seven years and what it reveals about the future of China-DPRK relations. The conversation examines the symbolism and strategic messaging behind the two-day summit, including Xi's meetings with Kim Jong Un, visits to the Sino-DPRK Friendship Tower and the Workers' Party cadre school. Shreyas also discusses why denuclearization was notably absent from official readouts and what that suggests about Beijing's evolving approach to North Korea's nuclear program. The episode also explores whether China is seeking to reassert its influence as North Korea's ties with Russia deepen, what signs to watch for regarding trade, tourism and border reopenings, and why the composition of the Chinese delegation may offer clues about Beijing's priorities.  About the podcast: The NK News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering the latest developments in and around North Korea. Each episode breaks down the week's news cycle with NK News journalists, analysts and expert guests.

Decades of dictatorship culminated in 15 years of war and turmoil in Syria, making the country a focal point of hardship in the Middle East. But with the region torn asunder by the U.S.-Iran war, a relatively peaceful Syria is now an outpost of progress and hope. Also: today's stories, including why questions are being raised about who sets and implements AI policy in the U.S.; a look at a recent summit between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un; and how this year's World Cup differs in size compared to years past. Join the Monitor's Ira Porter for today's news.

Today, Les, John, and Andy take stock of a North Korea that has used Western distraction to significantly expand its strategic position. Pyongyang reportedly plans to exponentially increase its' nuclear enrichment capacity with the construction of the new Yongbyon nuclear facility and is undertaking a housing construction boom that allegedly rivals major American cities. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, which focused heavily on trade rather than denuclearization, signals that Beijing has effectively taken pressure off Kim Jong Un to roll back his weapons program.Is the economic development inside North Korea real, and what does it mean for Kim's grip on power? With China sidelining denuclearization and ignoring UN sanctions, how does the U.S. compete against a four-power bloc of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea? Do Moscow and Beijing's deepening friendships with North Korea create friction over who calls the shots in Pyongyang? And with North Korea's missile capabilities increasingly capable of reaching American soil, is now the right moment for Washington to engage, or will U.S. regional partnerships be enough to hold the line?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@johnclipsey@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

If past practice is any guide, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping's state visit to North Korea yesterday afforded an opportunity for more  “strategic arson” aimed at distracting the United States from his increasing preparations for acquiring Taiwan via force if coercive pressure and/or elections don't have that effect. That could entail a manufactured ratcheting up of tensions with South Korea now controlled by another of Xi's Communist allies, President Lee Jae-Myung. He's long wanted to remove U.S. forces from the peninsula and would probably happily play along with a bit of PRC-directed theater to do so to avert a Potemkin crisis. Another ominous possibility is that Xi covertly directed Kim to join him in rearming Iran, building on their Chinese-approved collaboration on nuclear weapons by transferring one or more of them from Kim's burgeoning arsenal to Tehran.   Brace for impact. This is Frank Gaffney.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping's visit to North Korea this week has put the world on notice that Kim Jong-Un's nuclear program, and ambitions, are stronger than ever. But has Donald Trump taken note?

Watch the full podcast! https://chinauncensored.tv/programs/podcast-338 Donald Trump got the red carpet treatment during his meeting in Beijing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. His predecessor, Barack Obama, was given the opposite treatment - he was forced to walk out of the "ass" of the plane because the Chinese side supposedly couldn't find stairs for him to come out the side. How did Trump get China to bend over for him?

Watch the full podcast! https://chinauncensored.tv/programs/podcast-338 Donald Trump said he discussed Taiwan arms sale with Xi Jinping, which goes against the longstanding "Six Assurances" issued by Ronald Reagan, which says that US presidents won't discuss Taiwan arms sales with Chinese leaders. This made some speculate that Trump is using Taiwan like a bargaining chip in dealings with China.

Mentre Tump impone la tregua a Netanyahu, in considerazione dei negoziati in corso, il ministro Ben-Gvir attacca l'Italia chiamandolo il Paese delle ciabatte. L'offesa, che alluderebbe ad una simpatia degli italiani per gli arabi, scaturisce dalla decisione della procura di Roma di iscrivere il ministro Ben-Gvir nella lista degli indagati per reati di tortura nei confronti degli attivisti della Flottilla. Ne parliamo con Nello Del Gatto, collaboratore a Gerusalemme, e con Roberto Bongiorni, inviato de Il Sole 24Ore in Libano. Il legame tra la Cina e la Corea del Nord non è mai stato così forte. Questa sarebbe la conclusione della visita di Xi Jinping a Pyongyang. Ne parliamo con Giulia Pompili, giornalista della redazione esteri del Foglio.

De keizer gaat niet op reis; anderen reizen naar de keizer. Trump, Poetin, Merz en in totaal meer dan twintig regeringsleiders bezochten dit jaar Xi Jinping in Beijing. Wat zegt dit over China's invloed in de wereld en over hoe China die invloed wil gebruiken? En waarom ging Xi dan wél naar Noord-Korea? Garrie van Pinxteren legt het uit. Plus: waarom verschijnt Xi niet gewoon in zwembroek op zijn vakantieadres? In Historische Woorden erkent de Duitse minister Wadephul dat Duitsland een zetel in de VN-Veiligheidsraad misliep vanwege zijn blinde steun aan Israël. Maar Duitsland kon niet anders, meent hij. En waar komt de rechtse golf in Latijns-Amerika vandaan?

Maine voters will head to the polls tomorrow to decide who will take on five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins. And somehow, Graham Platner still has a sizable lead in the Democratic primary. You probably know a few things about the presumptive Democratic nominee for Maine's Senate seat. He served in the Marine Corps and now runs an oyster farm. And you've probably heard a lot of other things about Platner over the last few weeks – like about a Nazi tattoo, or his allegedly abusive behavior towards past romantic partners. None of the new information is good. But will it matter to Maine voters? And more importantly, should it? To find out, we spoke with Jon Lovett. He's co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save America.And in headlines, President Donald Trump abruptly ends his interview with NBC's Meet the Press, Iran and Israel trade fire for the first time since the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire with Tehran, and Chinese President Xi Jinping visits North Korea for the first time in seven years.Show Notes: Check out Pod Save America – www.youtube.com/@podsaveamerica Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
