Five years ago, a Chinese ship called the Chuxing visiting the port of Pusan was found to be carrying 91 kilograms of methamphetamine. Customs officials and prosecutors let it go.

Two years later, officials nabbed 45 kgs of the same drugs from the same vessel. Again, they let it go.

In fact, according to customs and prosecution data, the plucky Chuxing has been caught smuggling drugs and counterfeit cigarettes no less than 12 times...

The Chuxing is distinct because it plies an unusual route. For many years, it has been making a weekly run between Pusan and the North Korean port of Rajin.

...North Koreans again. This time, they�re running drugs and counterfeits into South Korea. But the authorities here have been turning a blind eye in the greater interests of the sunshine engagement policy with North Korea.

Man, the North Koreans must have been so confused when the Australian air force used their heroin smuggling ship for target practice: It was only caught once - what's with the overkill?!

Nothing will come of it. The dog has already been wagged (a South Korean politician has been arrested for spying for the North).
