Really didn’t think of this but it makes sense that many infected Chinese could have crossed into N. Korea. And with poor Bernie Sanders commie healthcare, this could be a big problem.
As tightly woven as NK and China are, I sometimes lose track they aren’t the same.
Ruh Roh! Little Rocket Man could be taken down by the Chi-coms.....
Wouldn’t that be sweet!
Looks like there might be some positive aspects to this virus yet.
(Actual North Korean saying)
This is really interesting, because data from China seems to suggest that it’s pretty well under control, which seems to conflict with the very panicky apologies from China. I haven’t given any creedence to some FR posts from VERY sketchy news sources (ha ha, I don’t mean CNN) about mass incinerations, but if it’s escaped the border, it’s hard to figure that the Chinese have contained it so well.
So now we believe fake news daily beast?
Don’t some Norks escaping go through China to get into SK?
I saw a movie where N Korea solved a problem like this by pulling everybody’s teeth to keep them from becoming zombies.
Everyone wondering if a PLA-weaponized virus has an immediate purpose, immolating your pesky client state to the East is Occams Razor edge.
China is finally in a position to claim all the NK resources for themselves now that they cleared NK of the Russians and Iranians and Pakis a while back.
The Chinese have been winking and nodding at North Korea’s illegal activities (which make it possible for the NK leadership to enjoy the lifestyle of the rich and famous) for many years.
That includes allowing a busy smuggling trade across the border.
The story makes sense, and of course North Korea couldn’t care less if the smugglers die of disease—so the contagion could spreak in North Korea rather quickly.
This may become a _big_ story imho.
Was it a bio weapon? I bet it was a virus.
Hey, who wants to try this socialism/communism thing?
It’s working for these people.
Good news for S. Korea and their award winning movie industry, the border between N and S is very secure.
They make some very good films.
The one about their famous Admiral & his iron clad fleet against Japan in the 1500s-1600s is a favorite of mine.
If North Korea is depopulated, who takes over?
PING
North Korea’s Secret Coronavirus Crisis is Crazy Scary
