I would guess Schmidt is much less interested in doing business with North Korea and much more interested in currying favor with other governments. Obama himself may have asked him to make this trip and it could go a long way toward softening ties between China and Google as well - depending on the results.

- astrodust 14y agoNorth Korea has the ability to cause a lot of problems for a lot of allies and the United States itself. For example, it's rumored that billions of dollars in extremely high-quality fake US currency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar) have been leaking out of North Korea. That's why you care about what's going on inside that country and not, say, Burkina Faso.
