Utter BS. Once a government assume control of a country's economic policy, the past is no longer relevant. Foreign invaders cannot take away North Korea's soil or erase its agricultural knowledge. However, the government can either misuse these two resources or through sheer incompetence that the people ended up growing not what they need and/or not enough of what they need that the people ended up starving to death. We see this every time communists dabbled in the economies they took over...Poverty and starvation are not the guilty of the country but the crimes left by foreign imperialism and invaders.
Further...
North Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Korea's own trade policy is the foundation of the country's economic backwardness and poverty.North Korea's isolation policy means that international trade is highly restricted. North Korea passed a law in 1984 allowing for foreign investment through joint ventures,[96] but failed to attract any significant investment. In 1991, it established the Rason Economic Special Zone,[97] in an attempt to attract foreign investment from China and Russia. Chinese and Russian companies have purchased rights to use the ports at Rason. Chinese investors are renovating a road from Rason to China,[98] and Russian railway workers are renovating the railway from Rason to Russia, from where it continues onto the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Then the blame is upon their governments. The fact that there are successful and prosperous democracies support this rule.Even many countries adopting Western democracy are poor, backward and starving.
Would you be happier in North Korea or South Korea?In addition, only a fanatic extremist like you would equal richness with joy.
Good...But like I said before, my competitor is Samsung, until THE WORLD sees something equivalent from North Korea, this statistic is behold -- meaningless.Behold, NK has literacy rate 100%, higher than that of USA!
People said Iran or so-and-so is not Iraq. The US military today is not the US military of the 1950 Korean War and Iraq was defeated in very short order. Nuclear or not. And would China be bold enough to take on US in a fight to win? We know the answer to that question -- Nope. No one fight to lose. China will either back down and let NKR go or yank the leash on this mangy cur like China should have done a long time ago.If bvffoons in US and SK of your type are stupid enough to launch 2nd Korea war, with Home by Christmas offensive (see Appleman, Roy (1989), Disaster in Korea: The Chinese Confront MacArthur, 11, College Station, TX: Texas A and M University Military History Series, ISBN 9781603441285), maybe they'll realize it once again as they did before, but with deadbodys only.
Perhaps true that China will go backward 20 years or even more. It is also true that USA will also go back 20 years, provided that nuclear conflict does not happen. US companies in China all bankrupt and Wall Street alligators' investments in China evaporate. Without made in China, US inflation will be 100000%.
Should nuclear war happen, 95% of China will be traded with 85% of USA. Russians will gleefully cross the Baring Straits and claim Alaska theirs once again, Only the sub-human who nurtures the deepest hatred against human being will therefore be chuckling in the darkness when this happens.
At that time, DF-21 or laser blinder are both secondary important, pop-up of submarine may only serve to scare the sh!t out of warlords' pants. But the Chinese immigrant workers and peasants numbering in 800,000,000 or more, during the nuclear winter, will thus form a vast volunteer army to unify the Korea peninsula once for all, and cross the Strait/Ocean to Canada/USA, penetrate the whole Europe. Perhaps that is the true way that the Chinese conquer the world in a meaningful sense.
While bourgeois (e.g. Wall Streeters, Warlords, SK etc) has everything to lose, the proletariat (e.g. NK and Chinese migrants/peasants) has nothing to lose except its shackles. This crystal ball is well understood by rulers of all countries, but lunatic fundamentalists like you and Darth Vader the Dick Cheny and his followers.
