The title is somewhat misleading due to a lack of information. It's Chinese troops gathering on their border of North Korea.

Why should English teachers care?

The Chinese could be just organizing a group tour to the (now empty) Keumgang Mountain Resort for all we know.

Ask MacArthur what he thinks of Chinese troop "gatherings."

Wrong and wrong. It's the Chinese that will decide one way or another about Unimification or not.

Who said that? Why the quotation marks? If Koreans want to make their dream of reunification come true, then they should have contingency plans in the event of Kim Jong-il's death, but they don't.

The Chinese have been doing a historical project called the "Northeast Project" in which the Chinese have been trying to lay claim to North Korea through their ties to Korean culture dating to the beginning of the Baekje Kingdom, part of the Three Kingdoms era.
Thats how they claimed Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning as Chinese territory, though most of it is inhabited by ethnic Koreans called Chosun Jeok.
Korea is historically a vassel state of China-Gyongbuk Palace is facing the Forbidden City to pay homage to the Chinese for protecting them against the outside all the way until the 1880's.

Actually, in many ways, I actually support the Chinese claim to North Korea because if the north did become integrated into Chinese society, they would most likely welcome foreigners more openly than their dear brothers in the South.......ironic.......

The US army is here to protect the peninsula from the Chinese not the south from the north.

North Korea was set up as a buffer between the so-called Democratic regimes in Japan and South Korea and the People's Democratic regimes of the former USSR and PR China.....why do people think the Chinese rushed in like they did during the Korean War? To keep the status quo.....

They're purely volunteers. I hope you understand.

We used to joke that the U.S. Army was here to keep S. Korea from invading Japan.
