South Korea has launched its first military spy satellite, a little over a week after rival North Korea claimed to put its own spy satellite into orbit for the first time
The US has occupied your country for so long that their propaganda got too strong in SK. The younger you are, the higher the chances of you seeing the world their way.
And the higher the chances you’re not asking them to leave.
Lol, the country that won’t let their citizens cross a border for fear of them never coming back will “free” the other completely free Koreans. Got it.
North Koreans can cross the border. The US have been feeding you too much propaganda.
When my cousin was there, he took a train from North Korea to China, along with several other Koreans. It’s a regular train between the two countries. I can link to his YouTube video (it’s in Portuguese, can at least you can see the train even if you don’t understand what he’s saying).
The only border they can’t cross is to South Korea. But that’s because they’re at war, not because of fear they won’t come back.
Can he migrate to China? Can he go to other countries once in China? Is he a North Korean citizen? Please do link, would love to watch it and get more context.
I don’t know if there’s a way to generate translations from Portuguese to English, though.
Also, I don’t know what are China’s rules on immigration. They already have 500 trillion people, so they probably don’t make it easy to immigrate.
But no one in China will stop you from going from China to other countries. There are North Koreans that moved here to Brazil. And you can probably find them in other countries as well.
I would guess that the biggest barrier preventing anyone from migrating is that it’s hard as hell. Not the process itself, but leaving everything behind and moving far away, speaking another language.
And they would have to leave behind a country where they have free housing, absolutely zero taxes, good education, safety, and most important: guaranteed employment. So even though the US-imposed blockade makes their lives much harder, many people consider it to be better than moving to China and working 6 days a week in a low income job. Or working a low income job in any other nearby country.
I speak Portuguese. I don’t need a translator. In the video he stated most people at the train station are tourists and very few are Koreans going to China to work.
He also mentioned not being allowed to take photos of anything/anyone involved in the military and being that they’re everywhere, most places couldn’t be photographed.
I’m also Brazilian. I visited a military base in Brazil and took multiple photos and videos without having to hide it. Korea is not a free country.
This video also fails to show the parts of North Korea that hasn’t been specifically polished for tourists to see. If you want the true Korean experience, don’t take it from a polished North Korean tour experience. Take it from a North Korean refugee. There’s many videos, interviews, and books for you to read. Your English seems good enough.
Yes, very few were Koreans going to China when he recorded the video. I just meant to show that they CAN go to China.
Korea is not a free country
No country is 100% free. They’re at war. Brazil is not. Not only that, but they’ve been infiltrated by CIA agents posing as tourists multiple times. So now they banned pictures of their military.
But if you watch other videos from that playlist, you’ll see they did record military a few times.
There’s many videos, interviews, and books for you to read
I did. A lot. Like, A LOT.
Unfortunately, some of the weirdest stories come from CIA-created propaganda.
But NK did have a very bad period, which is when most refugees left North Korea. They were invaded and had their infrastructure destroyed so bad that they had to go back to using animal traction instead of motorized vehicles.
That lack of infrastructure, together with the US preventing them from buying things from most other countries, meant lots of people were hungry and scared. They left Korea thinking that it was the worst place in the world. And for a few years, it probably was.
Do you remember when a couple weeks of truck drivers on strike creating a blockade sent Brazil into chaos? Now imagine a blockade that lasts for decades. Now imagine that when someone destroyed your country so hard that you don’t even have reliable roads or factories.
I would leave the country for much less.
But they reverted that with a lot of hard work. North Korea today is not the same NK that these immigrants left behind a few decades ago. I’m not saying its perfect, I’m saying it’s not the hell that the US tries to make it look like. And it would probably be a very very good country to live in, if they could buy food and technology from outside.
Damn gimme what ever wild shit you’re smoking. Why don’t you move your ass to North Korea and help them ‘liberate’ the south if you believe that line so much
North and South Korea aren’t rivals. North Korea has been trying to free South Korea for decades.
Lots of Koreans don’t even consider them different countries.
But one day the US military will leave South Korea and leave these people alone.
That’s some good parody.
The irony is with the statement, the reverse is also true, sans non naturalized NK citizens. Any NK who goes to SK is considered a citizen.

I never said all Koreans. Or even most Koreans.

Hi. This is his video taking the regular train between NK and China. He made a playlist with his videos in NK.

Learn the history. It turns out it’s not as simple as the country that leveled 80% of the structures on the entire peninsula would have you believe.

I am literally a historian. Thank you
It appears you should take your own advice.
That’s where our agreement begins and ends.
Are North Korean propagandists really a thing outside of NK? Wow. Absurd.
I don’t think so. But maybe there are.
What a radical thing to say.
