Half of the Korean population would agree with you. Korea is as divided as the US, and the conservatives are extremely wary that Moon will sell out the country to China. Gordon Chang, an American and a long time time critic of Beijing, said much the same thing in an interview a few months ago. The dynamics in South Korea are very strange. What Thomasglee wrote is what many Koreans worry about. Ask a North Korean refugee living in South Korea what they think of President Moon and his administration...The Moon regime has become more and more dismissive toward the USA over the past several years. South Korean manufacturers are heavily dependent on China and China is dependant on Korea for technologies that can be used in 5G networks. I suspect China and Korea will align against the USA and Japan. South Korea and China needed the Kim family (or at least Kim Jong Un) out of the way to achieve this goal. KJU and Trump were getting along too well and KJU doesn't/didn't want to lose the power and wealth he maintains by a divided Korea. He is not nearly as ideological as his father and grandfather. With KJU out of the way, a confederation between the north and south can be created, giving south Korea access to nuclear and missile technologies, which they will likely use to act as a blocking force against Japan and/or Taiwan in a war between the USA and China. To me, it is becoming more and more clear where south Korea's loyalties are going to lie. Throughout Korea's history, they have been a tributary state to China (or Japan) and it looks like they are going back to that model.
The South Koreans seem to think he's still alive. I would accept their intelligence as likely more accurate.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 1:49 am"North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is 'alive and well'"
First indication he's at room temperature.
Unless it is in South Korea's interest to deny it.
According to BBC reporting from Seoul, the South Koreans have no clue
When Moon is "dismissive" toward the USA, I assume those remarks arethomasglee wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 5:36 pm> The Moon regime has become more and more dismissive toward the USA
