Once the numbers become large and the newly arriving NKoreans start taking away jobs and bringing wages down then you will see the resentment. Which other country will accept the refugees? <BR/><BR/>Also why China does not want to piss off KJI. Is it because China wants NK to be around so that Japan and SK have always something to worry about.? <BR/><BR/>Though must salute the Chinese people who help out the NKoreans in Jilin and Liaoning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13378665.post-1130528829027745342005-10-29T04:47:00.000+09:002005-10-29T04:47:00.000+09:00thanks. will link that in my postthanks. will link that in my postSun Binhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093210384069958083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13378665.post-1130526540703085172005-10-29T04:09:00.000+09:002005-10-29T04:09:00.000+09:00nice travel commentary from a visitor to north ko...nice travel commentary from a visitor to north korea. <BR/><BR/>http://weecheng.com/asia/dprk/index2.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13378665.post-1130184890538832072005-10-25T05:14:00.000+09:002005-10-25T05:14:00.000+09:00Infidel thinks my proposal does not solve the prob...<A HREF="http://www.infidelworld.net/icblog/archives/east_asia/index.php#000406" REL="nofollow">Infidel</A> thinks my proposal does not solve the problem.<BR/><BR/>He is right. "regime change" would solve the problem at its source. But I was only trying to address the pressing needs for these people. This is not meant to be a long term solution.<BR/><BR/>Before the 'regime change' in who knows when, people suffer. The UN and other NGO have been trying to set up a station in China but in vain. I think an alternative in Russia would at least help a little. When the number is small, UN still has the ability to accomodate them, as it does today.<BR/>More importantly, it provides an alternative for the refugees, that would weaken the 'threat' that deter them from fleeing from their abusers. Such arrangement does not require PYongyang's agreeing to anything.<BR/><BR/>He is also right that Pyongyang would protest. But as I said, Pyongyang has no one to complain to, neither China or Russia can be held accountable. As long as the refugees are kept in relatively small number (due to the detour/difficulty), Kim Jong-il sees not much difference from today's scenario.Sun Binhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093210384069958083noreply@blogger.com
