I often wonder why people go to places where they aren't welcome. Being a "reporter" is a lame excuse.

I can ALMOST understand why men reporters go, but WOMEN reporters? Life where they aren't welcome just takes on MORE sinister consequences.

STUPID and ARROGANT.

Dollars to doughnuts they were both BIG FANS even devotees... of the one....

I wonder what the secret deal cost us.

[nuconvert]

Hard to say.
N.K. might have just wanted them out to get rid of prying eyes

HAH! NO BET!
I'm not a sucker even though doughnuts are MANNA to me.
OOooooo, chocolate, raised, glazed. I avoid doughnut shops, even holding my nose as I pass them.
Doughnuts: NO BACKBONE.

You are 100% correct, as usual, about his "fans"!

I wonder what the secret deal cost us.

I hadn't thought of that.
YES, excellent wondering.

They should have been publicly hung for illegal entry.

Something is up..

They have been kidnapping foreigners regularly(including an America Hiker who was in China, it appears). They even admitted a few years back to kidnapping Japanese citizens from Japan. They torture and lock them up then use them to train spies how to speak languages etc.

Had to be a deal struck for this to happen....timing after the election comes into play as well. Might be deal is via China pressure...who knows at this point but there was a deal, no doubt.
