NORTH KOREA: US/CHINA/GUAM: A lot of coverage of simmering geopolitical tensions

between North Korea and the US this weekend, additional coverage of Japan, China

and Guam. The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that Japan has deployed

several Patriot missile defense batteries in "Hiroshima and three other

prefectures" following last Thu's N. Korea threat to launch missiles over Japan

targeting Guam. Guam residents are said to be "prepared psychologically and

physically to hunker down," WSJ added. Yonhap News reported near 3.5 million N.

Korean "youths and retired soldiers" have requested enlistment/reenlistment "to

retaliate against" the US. The Australian, citing North Korea's Minju Joson

newspaper, reported Sunday that N Korea warned Pres Trump to "talk and act

properly," adding the U.S. "finds itself in an ever worsening dilemma, being

thrown into the grip of extreme security unrest by the DPRK. This is tragicomedy

of its own making." Meanwhile, South China Morning Post reported Saturday that

China Pres Xi Jinping called U.S. Pres Trump to urge restraint and and to

"persist in the general direction of dialogue, negotiations and a political

settlement."
