| Asia This Week Posted: 17 Aug 2019 07:33 AM PDT This Asia Times Weekly looks at Washington's losing battle with Iranian oil, Hong Kong and the new cold war, and 8chan and misinformation in Manila | This Asia Times Weekly looks at Washington's losing battle with Iranian oil, Hong Kong and the new cold war, and 8chan and misinformation in Manila | |
US-IRAN Donald Trump's attempted sanction stronghold on Iran has created a highly complex geopolitical chessboard that Washington will struggle to control, while Tehran could pull even closer to Moscow and Beijing. And, meanwhile, Iranian oil keeps flowing. When authorities in Gibraltar said on Thursday they would release the Iranian-flagged Grace I oil tanker, they not only defied a last-minute request by the United States to surrender the vessel to its custody—the UK-claimed Mediterranean territory also appears to have exposed the limitations of the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" sanction dragnet against Iran, writes Alison Tahmizian Meuse. The Iranian sanction situation is complex, to say the least. Demand for oil right now is higher than in 2018, writes Pepe Escobar, and consequently, Iran continues to sell most of its oil despite Washington's attempts to prevent it. Currently, continues Escobar, that's taking the form of re-labeled oil that's then transferred, tanker-to-tanker, on the high seas, with 'mostly' China acting as buyer. Iran's need to keep selling its most valuable commodity is obvious. As Kourosh Ziabari writes, 'Iran's interior has been paralyzed by crushing US sanctions' and 'three months after flash floods submerged large swaths of Iran and nearly two years after a massive earthquake devastated its western Kermanshah Province, the suffering of crisis-stricken Iranians seems to have been consigned to oblivion.' Pepe Escobar has argued before how Washington's tough stance is helping to form a strong and potentially region-changing strategic- and economic cooperation between Iran and Russia. He now asserts, as Russia moves ever closer to China, that a potential three-way alliance between Tehran, Moscow and Beijing could prove even more crucial.

If anything, the sides are becoming more galvanised, the battle lines more global and the stakes in the new cold war clearer. Beijing, writes Frank Chen, has bristled with increasingly bellicose rhetoric in response to the protracted pro-democracy protests, while signaling that it has soldiers and paramilitary police garrisoned in and close to the city. Beijing also turned away two US warships that sought to dock in Hong Kong for rest and recreation visits. Aside from the obvious diplomatic posturing, it is believed that Beijing fears that having hundreds of elite US troops arrive in Hong Kong may exacerbate the turmoil further. Beijing also tried to claim that Washington is one of the main 'agitators' responsible for the unrest. Donald Trump joined the fray by tweeting that he has 'ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it.' As Jonathan Manthorpe writes, if the Trump Tweet was aimed at making Hong Kong an element in the Washington-Beijing trade war, it will be counter-productive as Xi will not risk the suggestion that the US president influences his domestic policies. And anyway, as Gordon Watts writes, the US president now appears to be the one 'blinking' first in the trade war, despite the slowdown in the world's second-largest economy. Meanwhile the violence is escalating on Hong Kong streets, writes Darlie Yiu. Protesters, angered by an officer shooting a woman in the eye at close range on Sunday, shut down Hong Kong airport with a mass rally on Monday. And now the world of fashion has sashayed into the fight. Movie star Yang Mi walked away from a lucrative contract with Versace this week, writes Jimmy Yee, after the Italian fashion house launched a T-shirt collection that identified Beijing-controlled Hong Kong and Macau as countries instead of Special Administrative Regions. The 'indignant' Yang Mi has more than 100 million social media followers. 'We love China deeply, and resolutely respect China's territory and national sovereignty' said Versace in response. Expect many more passion-filled outbursts, from all sides, before Hong Kong's battle is over.

The Philippines is home to a multitude of 'Dark Web' sites, writes Jason Castaneda, used by criminal syndicates for drug dealing, sex trafficking, fake IDs and even weapons sales. It's also become a global hub for political disinformation and access to websites like 8chan, which hosted posts written by the white nationalist terrorists behind attacks in El Paso and elsewhere in the US. A shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand (which claimed 51) also has its online roots in Manila. President Duterte, whose backers have unleashed vicious online campaigns against his critics and opponents in the past (often punctuated with death and rape threats), remains under increasing pressure at home due to his allegedly soft stance on China. Duterte is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month in Beijing and, writes Richard Javad Heydarian, despite promises to the contrary, he is likely to once again put commercial interests over sovereign ones. His administration is also facing criticism, reports Javad Heydarian, over a number of proposed Chinese-backed mega-infrastructure projects in the northern Philippines, ostensibly aimed at transforming largely vacant islands into tourist hot spots. The Philippine military, which maintains close ties with the US Pentagon, has remained skeptical of these Chinese investments in strategic infrastructure, though they've have been broadly supported by Duterte's administration. As Jason Castaneda also notes, controversial global figures from the far right have not merely set up base in the Philippines — some have even received red carpet treatment there, and have provided support in return. How far the investigation into 8chan will get in a country that has some say has become the testing ground for disseminating hate speech online, remains to be seen.

| | | | Singapore's family feud gets political | | | As fears of a Singaporean economic recession rise, a possible snap election could create an unprecedented contest that pits the children of the city-state's first premier, Lee Kuan Yew, against one another. Speculation about the political future of one of Asia's most asymmetrical democracies is now rife, writes Nile Bowie. | | | K-pop band BTS split up (almost) | | | The bad news is the all-time kings of K-pop BTS are breaking up. The good news is the breakup is only temporary, with the aim being 'to provide them with a chance to enjoy the ordinary lives of young people.' Fat chance of that, writes Andrew Salmon who says the pop stars are now perhaps the most famous young men on earth. | | | Kashmir spells trouble for Modi | | | Most India observers figured Narendra Modi would feel emboldened after winning a second term in May. Very few would have guessed that confidence would see him revoking Kashmir autonomy with zero warning. William Pesek thinks this is as much a cry for economic help as an announcement of power. | | | | Walkman's blast from the past | | |

| Hong Kong’s threat Posted: 17 Aug 2019 04:46 AM PDT Weekend Reading | Hong Kong is set to endure yet another weekend of democracy protests. The rallies and tear gas cost the CEO of Cathay Pacific his job, capping a hellish week for both the carrier and the city's airport. The demonstrations have also caused more than $620 million in stock losses and a slump in tourism. Here's how the standoff is threatening Hong Kong's economy. What you'll want to read this weekend There's only one psychiatrist in all of eastern Montana. The state, with the highest suicide rate in America, desperately needs shrinks. Three Mile Island, where the U.S. flirted with its own Chernobyl disaster, is closing down just as some say nuclear energy has a role to play in the country's energy future, and the fight against climate change. The family behind Chanel is worth almost $58 billion. A secretive brother safeguards the clan's fortune. The American West is trading water for cash. The water is running out.

| Argentina teeters, protests rage, glaciers melt: Weekend Reads Posted: 17 Aug 2019 04:46 AM PDT Balance of Power | | From  | | | | | Argentina is teetering on the edge of an economic abyss while its neighbor Chile is watching its glaciers melt at an alarming rate, and China is massing its troops on the border with Hong Kong. Dive into these and other stories that chronicle the week's major political events with the latest edition of Weekend Reads. — Ruth Pollard |  | | Social and political organizations march in Buenos Aires protest under the slogan of "united, we walk for peace, bread, land, roof and work" against "the politics of hunger and exclusion from the national government." Click here for more of Bloomberg's most compelling political photos. | | Photographer: NurPhoto | | | | What Life at Center of Chaos Looks Like for Argentine Businesses
After two sovereign defaults this century, small business owners in Argentina are well versed in navigating times of crisis. But even they were left floundering by the latest rout. With presidential elections still 10 weeks away, they're wondering how much worse it can get. Jonathan Gilbert, Jorgelina do Rosario and Patrick Gillespie report.
Macron's Quiet Summer May Turn to Anger as Voters Return to Work
President Emmanuel Macron has spent three weeks in the Cote d'Azur, south of France, alternating between the beach and preparing for a delicate G-7 summit on Aug. 24. While Macron himself doesn't face voters until 2022, Gregory Viscusi reports any turbulence would be an unwelcome backdrop for local elections that are essential for developing his three-year-old party.
Xi's Dilemma: Send Forces Into Hong Kong, or Wait Out Protesters
There's signs China is preparing to mobilize mainland forces to quell the weeks-long uprising in Hong Kong. The question now is whether President Xi Jinping will actually do it. The protesters, meanwhile, have raised the stakes with actions to inflict economic pain as they push for leader Carrie Lam's resignation and other demands to loosen Beijing's grip on the city.
Hong Kong's Massive Protests Raise Ominous Questions About 2047
When the U.K. agreed to return Hong Kong to China, "One country, two systems," was shorthand for Beijing's pledge to maintain the city's character for 50 years — and the possibility that by the time 2047 rolled around, the systems would have converged. But as Matthew Campbell reports, that's now unlikely.
It's Democracy vs. the Hackers as the 2020 Election Approaches
The front line to protect the integrity of the U.S. presidential election is in a Springfield strip mall, next to a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant. As Kartikay Mehrotra and Alyza Sebenius report, it's there that a couple dozen bureaucrats, programmers, and security experts are working to prevent a replay of 2016, when Russian hackers breached voter registration rolls.  Australia — the world's second-biggest coal exporter — is increasingly a flash point in the battle against carbon emissions. But Pacific Island leaders are pushing back, calling on Canberra to ditch its commitment to coal. Fiji is leading the attack, with the New Zealand prime minister's backing.
Protests Pop Up Across Russia as Putin's Popularity, Economy Dip
Yevgeny Dubinin had never been to a demonstration before. But he was so angry authorities had refused to register opposition candidates in Moscow's city council election that he couldn't sit at home. The protest-arrest cycle represents the biggest public challenge to Vladimir Putin's two-decade rule since in 2012, Irina Reznik and Ilya Arkhipov write.
Where America Flirted With Its Own Chernobyl
The Three Mile Island accident four decades ago turned the U.S. against nuclear energy. Now the complex is closing just as some say it still has a role to play, writes Will Wade. Today, nuclear energy is at the center of a complicated debate — while cheap gas has upended the economics of operating reactors, questions about whether to shut one down involve more than the bottom line.
 Some modern screens and telephones have been installed in the control room at Three Mile Island, but many of the systems are similar to what was in place in 1979. Although the plant will no longer be producing electricity, it's certain to remain part of nuclear energy conversation for years to come. Photographer: Michelle Gustafson/Bloomberg
Gaza Needs Cement to Rebuild, But Israel Dominates the Market
Gaza needs concrete, and lots of it. In the 2014 war, some 11,000 housing units were destroyed, and an additional 160,000 sustained damage — affecting more than a quarter of the families in the territory. As David Rocks and Yaacov Benmeleh write, Israeli-Palestinian politics have hampered the pace of recovery.
The Walls Are Closing In on Cyril Ramaphosa
When Cyril Ramaphosa succeeded Jacob Zuma as South Africa's president, he promised a "new dawn" after nine years of misrule that hobbled the economy. But as Michael Cohen reports, 18 months later, hopes have dissipated that the former labor union leader can orchestrate a turnaround.
Modi Has Limited Options to Boost Economy in Locked Down Kashmir
Prime Minister Narendra Modi says his move to revoke Kashmir's autonomy is about boosting its economy. But as Archana Chaudhary and Bibhudatta Pradhan report, observers say it will take more than rhetoric to bring investments to a state that's lost more than 42,000 lives to conflict in the last three decades.
And finally … Chile has one of the world's largest reserves of fresh water outside the north and south poles. But its abundant glaciers are melting fast, with the ice mass now retreating one meter per year, Laura Millan Lombrana reports. The formations also happen to cover some of the massive copper deposits that make Chile the world's largest producer of the metal — and uncovering those minerals also threatens to hasten the glaciers' demise.
