I think that because they see themselves so much as "one people" (even if others don't) they find it an embarrassment they'd rather avoid. If your brother was a murderer and a wife-beater and a child abuser would you like it to be widely advertised?
I'd love to take a tour of the North and talk to my 'escorts' about the two Koreas. "All of my high school students have handphones. Do you have a handphone. Here are some pics. This is of the two huge garbage cans of food that my students waste after every meal. If I brought those cans into a school cafeteria here I wonder how long they'd last?..." |
Exactly. When the kids draw a map of "korea", they don't draw a map of just South Korea. North Korea is part of Korea. Knocking the North is knocking all of Korea. "Gosh how could our bloodline be so foolish?" |

From what I remember one of my uni prof's saying, isn't the status quo in North Korea best for everyone? Except obviously the North Korean people.
If unification occurs China and Russia have a US allied country and US military at their borders. Nobody, including the US, wants this. China's already freaking out about US missiles in Taiwan. There's no way they're going to let soldiers at their borders.
It seems to me that China and the US are both propping up the North Korean state. They also don't want a collapse or a coup because missiles tend to be accidently launched at those times, and North Koreas missiles are capable of hitting two of the US's biggest trading partners, South Korea and Japan. |
Then it would mean an Asian war, Japan has stated that any agressive action from the Norks will be met by imediate retaliation of Japan's defence force. By the sounds of it the self defence force is pretty damn advanced and more then capable of kicking the Norks ass to the stone age. Remember Japan already got nuked it knows the pain of it I think they would really get pissed off. |

I'll just step in and say tere are some on this thread debating the issue and others just insulting Koreans as some inferior folk.
To FOOLISHLY characterize an ENTIRE COUNTRY as you SEE FIT is an IGNORAMUS DISPLAY of one's own IGNORANCE.
The fact is the Berlin Wall in the midst of a widespread collapse.
One ought not expect the 38th parallel to go down the same.
That said, if you're not supporting the sunshine policy, which was abruptly pissed on by an American president without a clue, what is your resolution?
Try talking about that instead of how retarded Koreans are. |

Well, by the looks of videos smuggled out of NK, the North Korean government has already taken care of that. |

| If Japan came under attack it would immediately involve the US as they are allies. Also from what I know Japan's Self Defence Force is only eqquiped to handle an attack within Japan, they wouldn't be capable of attacking another country. That's why they have so many US forces in their country. |
