Basically, you would be adding 30% more people that currently have 10% of the GDP of the country they would be integrating with. Plus many of them are malnourished and need medical help.
Complicating things even further is that the people of the North will be entitled to vote and other benefits. It would play havoc on South Korean politics.
I really think that North Korea needs to an internationally administered country until reunification would make it less drastic.
Also, I love this stat:
Total number of people sentenced to death:
North = 0; South =13
Total number of people executed:
North = 105, South = 0 |
I fear the idea of the UN running a country,the people would starve even faster. I would think that the smart thing would be a joint Chinese South Korean American council would make more sense.
The execution numbers make no sense. When you are sentence to one of their camps,especially the higher level ones, you die there, they work you and starve you to death and occasionally hang you . But those stats don't count because they are unpersons. Its estimated that several thousand die per year in the prison systems. A lot of whom are there because of perceived crimes committed by your family members.
