Outdated N. Korean trains |

N. Korea refuses to return (Chinese) trains which brought aid supplies from China, even after the supplies were unloaded, leaving Chinese authorities increasingly frustrated, it has been revealed.
Quoting sources inside China, Jiji Press of Japan reported in its July 4th dispatch, "China is sending materials and goods to N. Korea, but, in recent days, N. Korea frequently refuses to return these trains, raising frustration of Chinese authorities."
According to Jiji, the sources speculated, "N. Korea appears to think that the trains are part of the aid package." It went on to explain that these recent incidents are indications of how imcomprehensible N. Korea is to outsiders.
There is a widespread view inside the central and local governments of China that bringing supplies to N. Korea via trains may result in 'the trains not coming back.' Chinese government is reportedly asking N. Korean Train Ministry to return the trains, but so far they have not taken any concrete steps (to get them back.)
Jiji Presss pointed out, " In N. Korea, trains are badly worn-out and in short supply. It is highly likely that the trains from China are used for domestic transportation."

We see a food chain established here. China rips off U.S.(knockoffs, theft of technology, etc), and N. Korea rips off China(gets aids, and keeps Chinese trains as added bonus.)
What would they refuse to return next time? I want to know.:)

Just a hunch of mine, but this could reduce the number of future aid missions from China...

Re #4
It helps to look at the upside of this event.:)

This could be an interesting turn of events. China does not like to be made the fool. If NK is willing to steal from hand that feeds it, they must be very desperate thus very unpredictable.

So, what happened to the Chinese crews that took the trains there?
Minor details are missing from this story.

Re #7
I do not mind N. Korea subjecting China to excruciating question, "Which do you hate more, U.S. or N. Korea?" It is not an easy question to settle, at least for China.
To: TigerLikesRooster
I guess Kim Jung-il figures he may as well try to keep them. lol

"N. Korea appears to think that the trains are part of the aid package." Socialism in action.

Biting the hand that feeds you.
N. Korea and Zimbabwe are running neck and neck for having the most stupidly run country in the world.
This thing of stealing the trains would be funny if it werent so damned dumb.

So that would make this theft story just a cover for the Chinese?

"Jiji Presss pointed out, " In N. Korea, trains are badly worn-out and in short supply. It is highly likely that the trains from China are used for domestic transportation."
Ahhh...the wonders of socialism/marxism.
I wonder if Ramsey Clark had any comment. He holds himself out as supporting The North Korean regime and its system of oppression.
