In pivoting to #China, East Timor may have given
#ASEAN one more reason to exclude it - To join Asean, it needs to improve its economy, but, in improving its economy with China’s help, it may jeopardize its chances of joining Asean scmp.com/week-asia/geop…
Observers warn that in pivoting to China, East Timor may have given the bloc one more reason to exclude it. Previously, doubters in Asean – most vocally, Singapore – have suggested the country’s struggles with its economy and infrastructure would leave it at best unable.......
....... to contribute, and, at worst, a drain on resources. Now they fear its would-be 11th member could act as a Trojan horse for Chinese influence.

#China's Xi will meet with Kim Jong Un in #NorthKorea this Thursday & Friday (June 20 to 21).

South Korea stated that it'll involve denuclearization talks.

Of course this'll be right before the G20, where Trump might meet with Xi.
So, will China tell North Korea to completely denuclearize in exchange for removal of US tariffs?

Or will we soon see more long range missiles shooting out of North Korea?
Also don't forget that Xi just had meetings with Russia's Putin as well:

"I want to warn the world about an unprecedented danger that’s threatening the very survival of open societies.

…I’ll focus on #China, where President #XiJinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme."

project-syndicate.org/onpoint/the-ai…
"Xi is trying to consolidate all the available info about a person into a centralized database to create a 'social credit system'..people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the 1-party state. People will then be treated accordingly."
"#China is not the only #authoritarian regime in the world, but it is undoubtedly the #wealthiest, #strongest & most developed in machine learning & #AI.

This makes #Xi the #most #dangerous #opponent of those who believe in the concept of #OpenSociety."
