Political update

Russia proposes that there should be an energy grid in north-east Asia connecting Russia, Japan, China, and the Koreas, which would be a foundation for peace and economic cooperation, and which would be connected to China and Russia's larger economic projects.

China just hosted a BRICS summit in Xiamen, has a party congress coming up which will decide on the leadership for the next five years (Xi and Li will stay), and will then host Trump during his first Asian trip as president.

Japan has a surprise election coming up, which Abe should win. This after Merkel hung on in Germany (but the AfD entered the Reichstag), and separatist votes were held in Spain's Catalonia and Iraq's Kurdistan.

North Korea's policy is to keep its nukes and develop the country.
