The stolen things are used by blended citizen. Blended by dangerous USA materialistic thinking and lifestyle. The other 50% is either poor as stone, or use paper and paint, and some may use real china digital hardcore stuff/staff ;-) (ermm, Austria for example) Best Regards, Daniel Mandic

Since China's growth is exponential, waiting to solve a logarithmically-growing problem would make perfect sense. ;-) I suppose they really should bite the bullet and invade (with the blessing of the UN), at a cost of at least tens of thousands of lives (unless they wait until the DPRK weaponizes their nukes), topple the current government for a more responsible and friendly government, set up a bunch more special economic zones and expand the current ones, implement land reform and get the moribund collective farms producing, replace the current nuclear crud with some modern reactors for power, and get the heck back north of the Yalu. Most of the DPRK's defenses are positioned to deter and repel an American attack, not a Chinese one. Maybe a year or two of actual occupation. No refugees, and the US military might finally be able to leave the Korean penninsula entirely (perhaps commit to this in advance), where there is little of strategic importance at stake and much cost is incurred for the US and Korea both. Re-unification could then finally proceed in stages, along with economic liberalization in the North and through South Korean and Chinese investment. Win-win-win. But the Chinese are probably not (yet) prepared to undertake that kind of role, even with substantial outside support, and US hawks would probably try to turn the situation into a new cold war. Still, if reason and cooperation could prevail, this sort of ugly stuff could become a footnote in history: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea/HJ06Dg01.html Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."
