WHAT KIM WANTS

We're delighted to welcome journalist Anna Fifield of the Washington Post for a talk nextMonday 18th November.

She'll tell us what she learned about North Korea in writing The Great Successor -- her acclaimed recent biography of Kim Jong-Un.

Ticket sales close on Friday. This event is FREE for Shanghai FCC members.

Kim's political priorities and his loved ones remain a secret to most of the world.

Fifield managed to find out what makes the Kim dynasty tick and how this affects ordinary North Koreans.

Besides its nuclear weapons program, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea desperately wants to develop its economy. Sanctions relief would be a first step.

There was some optimism after meetings between enigmatic Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump in Vietnam and in Singapore. However, things have cooled down since then. Is the genie back in the bottle, and Kim back behind the curtains? Or will the Kim dynasty make new attempts to normalise its position on the world stage?

Fifield is China Bureau Chief for The Washington Post and a New Zealand national. She will speak as a guest of Shanghai FCC and the New Zealand Consulate-General in Shanghai.

Moderator: Eva Rammeloo, China correspondent for Dutch daily Trouw
