North Korean Refugees

October 2007They risk all trying to make it across the North Korean border to China, only to find no guarantee of a better life. At constant risk of being deported, these refugees live a half life in the shadows. "I thought if I came to China life would be better", laments one woman. "I was wrong". Without Chinese language skills, most North Korean refugees remain at risk of being discovered by the police. "The police pay 200 yuan to anyone who discloses the whereabouts of North Koreans", explains one refugee. "That's what I'm most afraid of. I'm always hiding". Easy prey for the unscrupulous, they're forced to do dangerous jobs for little money. "Most North Korean women fall into the hands of human traffickers", states activist Tim Peters. "They're sold into prostitution". Unlike other countries, China classes North Korean refugees as economic migrants. If caught, they face return to Pyongyang and almost certain execution. "North Koreans are being sent back by the hundreds", complains Peters. Without external pressure, the situation for these refugees is unlikely to improve. Their only hope is that scrutiny surrounding the 2008 Beijing Olympics will encourage China to change its policy.

The slave trade contributed massively to American growth and economy. All those black people in America didn't get here magically.

Firstly to deal with Kim JongIl you need understand him. Do not listen to propoganda that makes him sounds crazy. There is *ZERO* information about him at all. It's not accurate for you to call him psycotic.

The north Korea is the less communist country of the world. This nation is a kingdom, a dictatorial monarchy, the power is handed from father (Kim Jong I) to son (Kim Jong II). You can see concentration camps on Google earth!The north Korea is the less communist country in the world.

Those cold war style or propaganda style comments from some South Koreans really play some negative impact on Chinese.30 years ago, China was quite similar to today's North Korea. Many Chinese experienced "communism" by themselves. They experienced both bad things and good things of "communism". From this point, Chinese may be in a better position to judge today's situation in North Korea.
