Trump has enraged South Korea.

Factually speaking, South Korea did pay tributes to China for a long period of time. However, this antagonization is not about history but more for political reason.
South Korea is making a big fuss because it is afraid to be sold out by USA. Trump is offending SK deliberately because he knows the next SK president may not want to install THAAD. This incident may actually force SK to accept the THAAD installation because SK doesn't want to be sold out.

It's strange that Russia is moving its troops to North Korea border as it has only about 17.6km long border with North Korea which is nothing compared to China. This military movement shows that Russia will definitely get involved in the war if USA attacks North Korea.
China has already moved 150,000 troops to its North Korea border and has prepared its bombers for the war.

What's happening to USA bond yields?
The 10-year USA bond yield has fallen to 2.26% because of geopolitical reasons in Syria & NK.
A low bond yield is bad for the economy because it will denote that the economy is not growing and fixed-income investments will have very lousy rates of returns because the returns are eroded by inflations.
Gold is also affected by geopolitical reasons.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gold-hits-five-month-high-042918105.html
Can you imagine an inflation of 2% and 10-year bond yield at 2% too? This would mean that fixed-income return would be negative after costs. When fixed-income investments are losing money, consumer spendings will be greatly affected and a vicious cycle will develop that will cause recession.

Is USA missiles attack on Syria illegal?
Based on International laws, USA had no right to attack Syria because it didn't seek UN approval and the attack was not based on self-defence.
You can only attack another country on self-defence basis or you've UN mandate. However, USA didn't have these conditions to back it up.

New Arctic shipping route!
This new Arctic shipping route is about 12-15 days shorter than the current shipping route which passes through Singapore.
Singapore port is losing its strategic importance because the new Arctic shipping route will be shorter and faster. Ships going to Europe will use Arctic route instead of Asean route.
Wikileaks revealed sinister USA's plan to fabricate intelligence to frame others.

Wikileaks revealed that CIA could create false intelligence to set up or frame others. This is not uncommon as CIA did that to Iraq by creating false intelligence of WMDs in Iraq but couldn't find any after Iraq invasion.

If we allow any country to attack another country without UN endorsement, we will be changing the rule of engagement which is might is the new rule.
We're a strong proponent of the rules-based system. If we don't stop any unilateral action by any country, we're supporting the notion that MIGHT IS THE RULE. In other words, if you are a super power country, you can basically do anything.

China-USA summit will take place on April 6-7 2017 and this summit will mostly be discussing how to handle North Korea. China & USA will decide the fate of NK and whether there'll be a war against NK. A war against NK will affect South Korea the most, followed by Japan & China.
NK's mobile rocket launchers (more than 10,000) can hit Seoul which has about 25m citizens and NK will use its long-range missiles to attack USA military bases in Japan. China will have to deal with millions of war refugees at its borders and may have to take control of NK for the time being before the installation of new NK government. The repercussions are huge and far reaching when a war happens.

USA planted this seed of conflict after WW2 knowing that Diaoyu islands belonged to China but gave the administrative right to Japan. However, the sovereignty was not given to Japan. Oxford's library archives show that Diaoyu islands belong to China. China also has its own documentations to proof that it is the real owner of Diaoyu islands.
There'll be no peace with USA presence in the region.

Will WTO give China market economy status?
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/wto-creates-panel-decide-china-172608645.html
Will WTO give China market economy status after Trump's insistence to ignore WTO ruling? What will happen if WTO also loses China's support when China is not given the market economy status it deserves? Where will WTO stand if it doesn't honour its words?
Will WTO be relegated to a secondary organisation in the future? This is a possibility as China & USA begin to foster better relationship in April 2017.

Germany VS USA in world trade.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/germany-urges-eu-file-wto-081445679.html
It is useless for Germany to file a complaint against USA in WTO because Trump had said it would ignore WTO ruling. There is pretty much nothing to be done. If Germany antagonizes USA too much, USA will demand more money from NATO or even pull out of NATO.
Germany can only sit in a corner to suck its own thumb.
