And the small fact that the North is a totalitarian shithole.
- ck2 11y ago100% Chinese sponsored totalitarian sh*thole. Yet the world keeps supporting China.
- ceejayoz 11y agoI don't really blame China for propping the regime up. A collapse of North Korea will likely be one of the largest humanitarian crises in human history. 25 million people with minimal education, skills mostly useless to the modern economy, and a failed infrastructure. I wouldn't want that on my border either.
- amyjess 11y agoThis is why the best way to deal with North Korea would be to support a coup that replaces the Kims with a less-crazy dictator, so they could slowly build things back up without trying to force them to integrate into China or SK.
- mason240 11y agoChina is not happy with current situation either.
- kuschku 11y agoEast Germany was also not a great place – the largest domestic intelligence agency ever, everyone spying on each other, a totalitarian regime, a wall so that no one could flee, food was there, but you had no bananas, no chocolate, or any other expensive food. All in all, if one sees it objectively, east germany wasn’t /that/ different from North Korea.

- jccooper 11y agoEast Germany was in poor condition relative to West, but nowhere near as disparate from the west as the Koreas are from each other. Though in East Germany you could get no bananas, in North Korea you can't get rice.
