Comments on: “Chinese Reform is Not for All North Koreans” http://rokdrop.com/2007/10/28/chinese-reform-is-not-for-all-north-koreans/ Korea From North to South Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:45:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rand Millar http://rokdrop.com/2007/10/28/chinese-reform-is-not-for-all-north-koreans/comment-page-1/#comment-88352 Rand Millar Mon, 29 Oct 2007 06:05:11 +0000 http://rokdrop.com/2007/10/28/chinese-reform-is-not-for-all-north-koreans/#comment-88352 Just as much of the populace of northern Korea has had to glean the hills for blades of grass time and again in the last decade and one-half, so now loyal minions of the Kim family regime glean Asia looking for controllable income opportunities. There must be the means to satisfy the Party and army elements who are critical to keeping the regime in power. However, just as grass is not very nutritious, so as is said, it is unlikely that Pyongyang will find financial salvation in hosting Vietnamese tourists. The interested ones know that ???? is not set anywhere near Pyongyang. If the Japanese continue to crimp remittances from Pachinko parlors and the Australians sink dope-carrying freighters and the Israelis interrupt nuclear consulting projects, then perhaps deliverance in the form of one Chung Dong-young looms the larger, if also unlikely. What continues to amaze and disgust is the head-in-the-sand attitude of the under-thirty set south of the Imjin toward the plight of their northern kin, as exemplified by KIIEP researcher Jeong Hyung-gon.
