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.
42
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.
43
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. :-)

Trump Press Conference. My thoughts:
- The man, at this age of 71, is having an amazing clarity of thought.
- He has his priorities clear.
- Sanctions will stay until de-nuclearization is verified.
- Man speaks uncomfortable truth. (Media doesn't like it.)

- He answers every critic on those two questions about North Korea's Human rights record. Also, at the end, asks why the previous administrations didn't take it up? (Media silence!)
Overall, @realDonaldTrump has got what he wanted. Budged a little to nothing, on all matters.

Again, am no fan of Trump. Am just saying, give peace a chance. Esp, when Kim is willing. Trump playing cards well.
You decide, who is the winner.

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!)

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.

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!

Presser ends. Man, at 71, he's quite unbeatable / unwavering in the face of tough questions. (Turning 72, on Thursday.)
125
Per Trump, he's expecting Kim Jong Un to announce something BIG, immediately upon landing today itself. Fingers crossed.
126
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.

Thread: I spoke to five experts on the landmark #TrumpKimSummit. Here's what they had to say...
131
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!

133
@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.

1. Chinese wanted to develop a lot of Korean - Chinese border areas along with Jang Song - thaek. (Chubby's uncle who was executed.) Probably without informing KJU.
234
2. This includes a $350Mn bridge in Dandong (Liaoning) which lands on a farm in North Korean side, from China across Yalu River. (Location: google.com/maps/place/Dan…)
235
3. This bridge construction came to a grinding halt, after KJU executed his uncle. Post which, chubby turned to US.
236
4. There are bridges that KJU built for Generals to escape, in case war breaks out. And Chinese are nervous about that if war breaks out, and these fellows escape, US & South Korean tanks would be there in no time.
237
5. North Koreans treat Manchurian region of China as theirs. South Koreans want Korea to be united. :)
6. Mt Paektu is revered. By North & South Koreans.

8. The dead blow Xi suffered by executing KJU's uncle is quite clearly visible in the recent acts & support for sanctions against DPRK.
