Ladies first: China opens to Korean refugees
The economically underdeveloped rural villages in inner China suffer from a lack of women. Many men in these villages, mostly farmers, need to seek brides elsewhere. China is a gender-unbalanced country, partly attributable to its one-child policy that has pushed families to prefer a boy. The situation is even worse in rural areas where many youths leave for cities to find jobs. Experts speculate whether the introduction of the North Korean female refugees is part of China's effort to stabilize these rural villages.
The South Korean human-rights observer said it remains to be seen whether such "pilot program" will be expanded to other regions. He believes that the practice is carried out in "consultation" with the central government. |
When you factor in this ...
�Marry a North Korean women! Confirmed identity. Compare them with foreign women. Company president appeared on KBS1TV�
... it seems that North Korean women are becoming a very sought-after commodity. (I used the word "commodity" deliberately.) However much one may despise the North Korean government, it's difficult not to have at least an iota of sympathy for the people. |
