The sad part of the story is that China still props up Dear Leader Chairman Kim despite the fact he and his father have turned all of N. Korea into a sad gulag with only the guards fed enough calories to survive on. The other money went to the army and the A-bomb project. Plus, Red China still sends back to N. Korea any N. Koreans who try to bug out and get into China. They are returned to certain death.
Meanwhile, isn’t the Shanghai Expo just stunning and sweet? Almost as fantastic as the China Olympics. </s>
The Chinese and Russians keep N.Korea propped up because it is a buffer zone.
