Well off to Singapore (after a short romp in Tokyo) for a workshop hosted by the Brookings Institution and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, entitled A New Nuclear World Order: Asian Perspectives.

Singapore at this time of the year is delightful —- not too hot, not too cold.
Be sure you enjoy the tropical fruits there —- like real Indian mangos, which must be irradiated before it can come to the USA, making them scarce and expensive (if you can find them at all).

Enjoy your travels!

Second the motion! Some interesting stuff about the DF-31 and DF-31A being fielded, a DF-21-based antiship missile in development, etc.
Speaking of the DF-21, are they still in production?
