But, they have released US prisoners.

2018-05-05 04:03:28 UTC  

Even if it is for show, at least they got out.

2018-05-05 04:04:00 UTC  

yeah, fair point.

2018-05-05 04:04:21 UTC  

You think N-K would try to copy China in order to survive?

2018-05-05 04:04:32 UTC  

that's actually what i was typing

2018-05-05 04:04:35 UTC  

holy shit

2018-05-05 04:04:40 UTC  

Mm.

2018-05-05 04:04:47 UTC  

People have brought the possibility up

2018-05-05 04:04:52 UTC  

And what would that be?

2018-05-05 04:05:11 UTC  

possibly going all deng-y and allowing investment by foreign companies

2018-05-05 04:05:16 UTC  

of course, it would be a while

2018-05-05 04:05:37 UTC  

It still could wotk.

2018-05-05 04:06:44 UTC  

it *could*, but opening up to western influence seems to be the death knell for many a socialist regime

2018-05-05 04:07:24 UTC  

If they don't fix the economy.

2018-05-05 04:07:41 UTC  

We'll (US) will probably raid.

2018-05-05 04:07:43 UTC  

If they don't fix their food either.

2018-05-05 04:08:03 UTC  

They should ya know

2018-05-05 04:08:08 UTC  

even if they do, the US could always CIA them

2018-05-05 04:08:10 UTC  

Try to raise that living standard a bit

2018-05-05 04:08:24 UTC  

again, i'm not a big fan of the kims

2018-05-05 04:08:36 UTC  

And what of the Vietnamese?

2018-05-05 04:08:43 UTC  

If not the kims

2018-05-05 04:08:49 UTC  

Or the chins

2018-05-05 04:09:03 UTC  

they're privatizing a fair bit too

2018-05-05 04:09:32 UTC  

not a big fan of them either, but at least they aren't what appears to be a dynasty with a vice grip on power

2018-05-05 04:09:43 UTC  

To be honest I think Vietnam is fine the way it is now.

2018-05-05 04:09:49 UTC  

That would mean a "Socialist Market Economy". I doubt they will adopt the Chinese model, but it's definitely a possibility. Their economy actually isn't in as bad a shape as some would like to believe. In fact, Forbes published an article a little over a year ago I believe that talked about how the NK economy was booming, sanctions and all.

2018-05-05 04:09:49 UTC  

Like

2018-05-05 04:09:54 UTC  

It's not perfect

2018-05-05 04:10:00 UTC  

But it's not North Korea either

2018-05-05 04:10:12 UTC  

Plus shit ton of motorbikes

2018-05-05 04:10:42 UTC  

man, the west really needs to catch up with SE asia on motorbikes

2018-05-05 04:10:57 UTC  

because MAN are those things neat

2018-05-05 04:12:40 UTC  

Theya re indeed.

2018-05-05 04:12:53 UTC  

I have 2 Vietnamese born friends who migrated to amerika

2018-05-05 04:12:59 UTC  

Doesn't sound too bad over there

2018-05-05 04:13:08 UTC  

But there are plenty of safety risks

2018-05-05 04:14:17 UTC  

fun fact: where i live, there's an annual vietnam war airsoft event, and it's always interesting to see people super patriotic in a vietnam war reenactment
