h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I just saw at Dutch TV a program about North Korean fugitives who fled to China and were sent back, because China must stay in a certain kind of balance between the dangerous idiot Kim Yung Ill and China's internal politics and with its own relations with other states like South Korea, USA, Japan and Russia.


Most of us know the horror of the ghost country North Korea.
It even leaves fiction behind. No one knows what to do when the regime has collapsed.

China, Russia and South Korea are not waiting for millions of fugitives who have been brainwashed for decades and are underdeveloped and do have expectations to the outside "free world".

Well, the problems will be high, but that can not mean that some politicians want the dictatorship to go on as long as possible to avoid a very unstable situation in South East Asia.We - the free world - and China need to talk - behind closed doors - about what to do when that might happen; a collapse, anarchy and millions of fugitives who are mentally crushed.

Like Iraq, we see the causes of just having a negative plan (besides the truth behind that plan).

For North Korea, we don't dare to have a negative plan, let aware an emergency plan of first aid and reconstruction.
Discussing it now will be difficult, because China and USA and South Korea are not great friends and there will be a power vacuum also, besides floods of hungry peoples. But that needs more attention and care for a sustainable plan for North Korea. We did learn a bit from East Germany integrating with West Germany.

What did we learn? That it still is until this day a very tough way to integrate the Eastern part with the Western part and it will never be what it was before and reuniting is very expensive. We should talk about this, because the problem is not at the doorstep of the outside world.

There must be some kind of agreement of what the international community will do when North Korea collapses as a state. What can the U.N. do and other Ngoc’s? We should prepare; that should be our care.

Europe also reacted far too late and slow when the Sovjet Union collapsed.
