China to send N.Korean refugees to S.Korea: report
China to send N.Korean refugees to S.Korea: report

China will allow a group of 19 North Korean refugees to leave for South Korea in a reversal of its normal repatriation policy, a report said Friday.

The refugees were rounded up by Chinese authorities in the northeastern city of Shenyang in September.

They were originally due to be sent back to the North despite the risk of harsh punishment there, but Seoul intervened on their behalf.

"It appears that the Chinese government has made an exception in this case in allowing the defectors to go to South Korea," Yonhap news agency quoted a diplomatic source as saying.

The foreign ministry could not confirm the report, saying there has been no word from Beijing on its intentions.

Rights groups have criticised China's policy of repatriating North Koreans as economic migrants, rather than giving them refugee status.

The source said last month's visit to South Korea by Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang may have had an impact in the case of the 19.

A rights group said separately that a total of 23 North Koreans were arrested late last month in various Chinese provinces including Shandong, Henan, Liaoning and Yunnan and are facing deportation.

"Crackdowns on North Korean refugees hiding in China have been intensified this year," an official of the Commission to Help North Korean Refugees told AFP.

More than 21,700 North Koreans in total have fled their impoverished and hunger-stricken homeland since the 1950-1953 Korean War, the vast majority in recent years.

They typically escape on foot to China, hide out and then travel to a third country to seek resettlement in South Korea.

Some South Korea-based activists, mostly linked to Christian evangelist groups, work in northeast China to try to help the escapees travel along what is called the "underground railroad".

They are from N. Korea therefore they should be send back to North Korea. By sending them to S. Korea, China is admitting that N. Korea is an integral part of S. Korea.
 
Anyways, getting back to the point, since these poor North Koreans were trying to flee their impoverished and hunger-stricken homeland for better pastures, it was wise for the Chinese to have accommodated their feelings and deported them to South Korea instead. This humanitarian gesture needs to be commended! :tup:

Cheers!

Wrong.

China should have send them elsewhere and not S. Korea :

You don't think the Chinese, in response to a flood of refugees, should invade NK instead? It's what India would do, right?

There is a saying that the Indians think they are the number one, the (S)Koreans think they are the best. May be they should duel out.

Back to the topic.

For the Chinese, they (the poor) are already marrying a huge amount of NK women. Some NK women actually have husband back in NK, but they lose contact/conceal the truth/rather stay in China. That’s a tragedy. Invasion is not a solution, but a problem, as China doesn’t want impose its value on the others, unlike “altruist” USA: China doesn’t have much the tradition of priest/missionary/crusader.

To add. I don't think give those NKeans to SK is a wise move for China. SK is more hostile to China than NK. China needs to look for longer term interest. China must prevent SK dominate the peninsular.
 
I really feel for those people. they risked their lives to run away from their own country,life there must be so terrible and people should have the choice on where to live.this time China did the right thing,we saved those people's lives.we sent them back to the North before,it amounts to sending them to death,maybe there were a lot of political reasons behind the repatriation,but we should always have one thing in our mind,we are all humans happen to live in different so called countries,we all should have human empathy.

Are you kidding me? This was one of the best good deeds the Reds did. This shows that there is a growing sense of human conscience in China. With better lifestyle, better amenities and hence availability of resources, China seems to be getting more of social conscience. Very good to see this development.

Do you know what happens to North Koreans if they're caught in China and sent back to their country? They are in a situation that is unimaginable by people like me and you, dude. Even Mao was much better than the fat Kims.

Good work China! Good to see your softer side. :tup:
 
i think China supports one state solution for Korean Peninsula so why it is bad ???

Their present stand is a new one but before during cold war, the Chinese did support unification but they wanted it to happen under the fat Kims and not the current democratic South Korean system.

Offcourse it is and China highly favours reunification of two Koreas

They were originally due to be sent back to the North despite the risk of harsh punishment there, but Seoul intervened on their behalf.

And this is the reason why, it is on pure humanitarian grounds. Nobody want to live in that dungeon owned by Kim Jong Il!

If China annex North Korea, it would not have to become part of S. Korea. ^^

Hehe,Chinese's attitude to SK usually is just ignoring,if you debate with them they will be chatterring.

If China give those people back to NK,they might be excuted.Fleeing abroad is a crime of treason in NK.Whether Sk can dominate the peninsular is not decided on SK but you the U.S.,China and Russia.
