Five Myths about North Korea

[Canceled2]

However, you need to understand that the freedoms you talk of would be totally impractical at this time in China. Unless you visit or are party to non-american news you are unlikely to know. The economic mirracle that is modern China would not have happened had it modelled itself on the US.

Ask yourself this: Why does the USA, uniquely, concentrate on issues of freedom and democracy in China when American politicians who have visited KNOW the facts, when American businessmen who have visited KNOW the truth.

The fact is that the US is scared to death that a nation rightfully villified in the forties and fifties and sixties is beating you at your own game. You just cannot face that fact. They are getting richer, you are getting poorer and all you can do is whine! Well, tough titty. You have brought it all on yourselves.

There are many bad things about the PRC but the differences and the progress that even I have seen should make americans, who seem obsessed with their own navels, quiver and quake.

The state of denial into which you are lulled allows the dehumanisation of your imaginary enemy.

Someone else did something similar in the thirties in Europe. Remember?

I don't feel like China is "beating me" at anything. China has a number of domestic evil of its own to contend with without my two cents. Only time I have ever harangued China was when you have found it neccesary to let your green monster {known to some people as a tongue} loose on our domestic dirty laundry...as if...

Western Europe is suffering its enemy from within- known to Americans as cradle to grave nannyism...gotta love those riots.

If you are sucking on the hind tit of the american media you are unlikely to be aware of being 'beaten'. Your leaders of industry and your politicians are fully aware of the fact. Yes you are still ahead but you are falling while they are shooting upward with GDPs and unemployment figures you can no longer even dream of.

I see you're still continuing to spew the "information" that your Chinese masters demand that you post.
Your kowtowing has greatly improved.

With regard to the brewing crisis on the Korean peninsula, ..."North Korea on Thursday said the United States and Seoul were to blame for its shelling of a South Korean island in November, which left four people dead and further raised tensions on the peninsula. The North’s military fired in response to South Korean drills in the waters around the island of Yeonpyeong, near the disputed maritime border...Since the incident, the U.S. and South Korean navies have intensified their drills around the peninsula."

"Last week Secretary of State Hillary Clinton summoned her Japanese and South Korean counterparts, Foreign Ministers Seiji Maehara and Kim Sung-hwan, to Washington for trilateral talks on the Korean crisis in an open affront to China and Russia, which had called for a resumption of six-party discussions with both Koreas, themselves, the U.S. and Japan.

Officiating over the December 6 gathering with her junior partners on her own turf, Clinton - rather than the foreign ministers of the two East Asian nations - stated, "North Korea's provocative and belligerent behavior jeopardizes peace and stability in Asia."

Additionally, we know know that China and Japan are also about to escalate tensions.

If the numerous internal problems the USA faces (widening gap between rich and poor is often cited) are reasons for it to slow down and eventually collapse, then why doesn't the same hold true for China? Seriously, way more internal problems, many/most of which are exacerbated to vastly larger degrees, and we're supposed to believe that China is the economy of the future.

Nazi Germany was the only country in Europe to pull itself out of the global depression in the 30s, which was an awesome display of totalitarianism and command economy, but during the war, even before it was defeated, it was out-produced by all of the principle allies, including communist USSR.

Two reasons.
1. China is a growth economy and thus it population is, in large part, optimistic.
The US has lost its impetus and its population has come to consider luxury as the norm.
2. China is not a democracy and therefore is subject to a far greater degree of control than the US.
The way the US is shaping up, its political polarisation and its dependence upon polls and what was once the american dream means that much of the population, albeit not the brightest, consider jam today their god given right.

We join the other nations of the world in denouncing the U.S., Japan and the south Korean puppet forces for further stepping up the moves to tighten the military nexus and ignite a war against the DPRK than ever before under the pretext of the situation on the Korean Peninsula.


The U.S. staged the largest-ever combined exercises with the south Korean puppet forces in the East and West seas of Korea with aircraft carrier involved under the pretext of the warship sinking incident and the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.


It also staged joint military exercises with Japan in waters close to the peninsula, letting officers concerned of the south Korean puppet forces and the Japan "Self-Defense Forces" observe them.


They have intensified the moves to tighten their nexus for aggression and knock into shape a triangular military alliance among them under the pretext of the situation on the Korean Peninsula. This shows with added clarity for what purpose they triggered off the warship sinking case and the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.


The recent development clearly indicates that the Japan-south Korea system of joint military actions and the triangular military alliance with the U.S. imperialists as an axis have already come into being to go operational.


The dangerous nexus between the U.S. and its followers only results in straining the situation on the peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia, sparking off a new arms race and increasing the danger of war worldwide.


The U.S., Japan and the south Korean puppet forces would be well advised to properly know about Songun Korea and behave themselves as it inflicted shameful setbacks and bitter defeats upon the aggressors of two imperialisms in the past big wars fought against them in the last century and is now demonstrating its honor and dignity in the nuclear stand-off with the imperialist allied forces.


The reckless military nexus and the anachronistic moves to knock into shape the triangular military alliance are bound to go bust in face of the trend of the times towards justice and peace.
