you've been taught since the day you was born that SK/USA are the enemy. would you rather go to SK or China who's suppose to be your greatest ally and friend.

 

[XiaoYaoZi]

now imagine millions of refugees crossing the yalu.

the price to keep NK propped up and going is a small price to pay compared to the unknown.

You got it.

The political situation in North Korea reminds me of the situation in late Ming dynasty.

In what way does it resemble the late Ming and not the other Dynasties?

万历帝为朝鲜之役和多次对蒙古的北征穷兵黩武，耗尽国力，晚年则对国事漠不关心, 将政务留给无能的太监。百姓饱受饥荒和混乱之苦，而国家众叛亲离，经济萧条，最终给了汉奸打开国门的机会，引入外敌。

in the reign of wanli ,he invested so much on the war against japan in Korea and war against the Mongols that he wasted the institutional power of the ming. later on, he stopped caring about state affairs and left it to the bureaucracy and eunuchs . ordinary people were starving, suffering from the chaos, while the country had no allies and a depressed economy. the final blow came from a traitor who opened the gates to the Manchus.

if kim jung un does not turn back and change some policies, he risks being the last emperor (in practice) of north korea.
