Recently, Chinese internet users are raising criticism on the North Korean regime.
Inside photos of North Korea have been successively posted on Chinese websites (DailyNK report 23rd, Aug 2006) criticizing the Kim Jong Il regime with remarks ‘North Korea must instigate reform’ and ‘What generation is this that they are still starving?’
On 25th August, the DailyNK searched internet sites ‘Photofans’ and ‘North Korea Today.’ These sites exposed inside photos of North Korea and were full of criticism such as “Two Kims should retire from their position and South Korea seize North Korea” “Overthrow the government like Saddam Hussein.”
Particularly since the missile launch last July 5th, Chinese Internet users have been showing greater interest. In addition crime amongst defectors around the North Korea-China border and home raids by North Korean commanding officers on Chinese soil have incited aversion towards the North Korean regime amidst Chinese people.
Chinese website ‘Photofans’ is a site powered by Chinese photo enthusiasts and for a while has been publicizing inside photos of North Korea.
Recentlky ‘Photofans’ exposed photos of North Korean soldiers going about their daily lives, taken by sightseers touring on the Yalu River. On this website, hundreds of photos taken by the sightseers and other Chinese tourists visiting North Korea are being posted continuously.
The photos below were posted by a person with an ID ‘Fat lamb.’ Comments made by internet users give an indication of the response of Chinese internet users towards the North Korean government.
On the website 'North Korea Today' some internet users have made sympathetic remarks such as “When will the North Korean people experience a shining day” and “Two Kims should retire from their position and South Korea seize North Korea” as well as more aggressive remarks such as “Kim Jong Il who is dragging his people into turmoil should undoubtedly retire. He should be overthrown like Saddam Hussein.” There was also a comment “Marxist is not at fault. It is all because of Kim Jong Il’s distortion.”

"There was also a comment “Marxist is not at fault. It is all because of Kim Jong Il’s distortion.”"
Once again, we see that Communism / Marxism / Socialism really does work, it just hasn't been done right where it's been tried.
The only way North Korea's regime will be overthrown is if these same Chinese people overthrow theirs first. Then NK's biggest enabler will be out of the way and their will be little to stop its collapse.

Would they turn on their cousins whom they saved from self-induced military defeat 60 years ago?
S Kor has the expertise now to deal with the mineral and industrial wealth of the North. Korea united would do very well.
Too bad that only bloggers get to vote in China.
South Koreans have a very high level of expertise at many things. I don't see how they could successfully assimilate their N. Korean counterparts after so many generations of brainwashing.
You seem to be a Joe Slovo adherent here. Is that true?? Joe said (and I'm paraphrasing here) regarding the fall of Apartheid, "This is our last best chance of getting Communism right." You apparently agree with that. Really?
Wonderful news.
But this will likely scare some die hard party goons.
And, possibly some wise folks are encouraging the students. Hope they aren't manipulated to their hurt.
S Kor wouldn't have to assimilate anyone. They can develop the industrial and mineral capability in the North and hire those that want to be assimilated. It's a matter of time and the old Commie generations will be gone. Like all the other problems of long standing on earth nothing can be resolved overnight.
But MOST Chinese with brains above that of a p*ss ant know that Communism is a wholesale failure. Most of the leading party members also know it.
I think he was being sarcastic...
How long has the little tyrant been in charge?
Russia won't allow it.
I've heard Russia and China are teaming up to explore potential offshore oil reserves off the NK waters.
If they find any, you bet your ass they will do everything possible to keep Kim in power and exploit it for all its worth.
