China welcomes #NorthKorea's decision to suspend nuclear, ICBM tests, and wishes for North Korea to make progress in economic development, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Sat, adding that China will continue to play a positive role in the Korean Peninsula issue.

Note: More than anyone, it is only in Chinese interest to bring the Korean conflict to an end. Why? Coz, they need to pump in more of their cash surplus & create more debt. This is why, Xi hosted Kim Fatso Un for over a week. Read fine prints.

Under this grand plan of Xi, Koreas will be made to pay for Chinese debt. That aside, will Koreas be under Chinese sphere of influence? Watch what PM Modi & Abe did on this issue. Koreas will see Indian hand in peace efforts. :-)

- He has his priorities clear.

ON question of consequences, Trump says, I won't answer that. It is threatening & remember, Seoul is city of 2.8M ppl. Right next to DMZ (some 60Miles, I guess).
One thing for sure, this man is not in a mood to go to war. Definitely won't make Seoul a victim!

Two more takeaways on #TrumpKimSummit
- Trump - Kim, scripting history. Nobody can stop it from making.
- This is not the final meeting. Further meetings will happen in Pyongyang & DC.
Overall, am personally happy about the summit & happy for the #Koreas.

Oh, did I mention? U-Turn by North Korea on economic liberalization is expected - probably, in the coming weeks / months - which will take things further. De-nuke, is a temporary issue, I feel. Koreas will anyways be denuked. (China & Russia too need a market for their good!)

#TrumpKimSummit on two lines:
On cameras, Kim won.
On paper, Trump won.

BIG hint dropped by Trump. Message was loosely meaning: Long rope for Kim until a certain point after which, going back is tough. REAL negotiations will happen post that.
135
Now, a question on Future of North Korea.
Trump: You may not want economic prosperity, people want it. It is for them to decide. Look at their beaches!

137
Presser ends. Man, at 71, he's quite unbeatable / unwavering in the face of tough questions. (Turning 72, on Thursday.)
138
Per Trump, he's expecting Kim Jong Un to announce something BIG, immediately upon landing today itself. Fingers crossed.
139
Lastly, no join Military exercise with Republic of Korea (Or, South Korea) until Kim Jong Un obeys. :)
Trump's reasoning: It is not needed & provocative, while we're talking. Also, I'll save money.
Man, his priorities. 😂😂😂😂

144
Welcome @barugaru to my club. Koreas will unite, no other way out. What Kim is getting, is a face saver. Nothing more. I expect the DMZ to vanish by mid-2019.
One word of caution, you will be called conspiracy theorist by ppl uniting Ghatkopar!

@barugaru And yes, as pointed out by you, Trump is a larger picture guy.
Per me...He is free from being political correctness. He's unorthodox. Thinks about an issue for long before speaking about it. His fake news had its origins when NBC did a hit job, decades ago. No, am not a fan!

146
@barugaru He first spoke of Koreas, back in 1980s - 1990s. Came across an interview on it. Kim, is most likely to move out of the picture. Kim's sister is the one to watch out for.
KINU is doing a fantastic job.
Lastly, @barugaru, there's an invisible Indian hand. Am sure you can see it.
