What's Going on in Eastern Asia?

In the past, there have been examples of global reserve rencies or society's crumbling. But we've not borne witness to a globally connected world where what happens on the other side of the world we could very well see because someone has an iphone in their pocket and is recording it. And i think that makes events that are happening in maybe places that i've never even explored, like schlonka, perfect example. Like i've never set foot in that country, and yet i now know, on a different in a different way, what's going on. We just wouldn't be thinking about those things.
