Information You Aren't Likely To Read/Hear In Western Media: Pivot To Asia Edition

Source: India and Geopolitics

If imitation is a sincere form of flattery, here is my one-time attempt to imitate my friend JK's terrifically useful mini-digest on Ukraine. Sent via email a few times a week, containing "information you are not likely to read/hear in the Western/U.S. media," its author has identified the need for someone to do something similar for news on the war on China the U.S. is planning aka the Obama-Biden pivot to Asia.

I'm unqualified to take on this project because I don't read Chinese or Japanese beyond the kindergarten level or any other East Asian languages. But, in the spirit of JK's heroic communication efforts around the U.S. war on Russia, here goes.
