As for reunifcation, I thought the latest trend was that ROKs didn't really want it any more. And considering how the German one went (and really is still ongoing) I can't really blame them.

quote:

Korean reunification would differ from the German reunification precedent. In relative terms, North Korea's economy is currently worse than that of East Germany in 1990. The income per capita ratio (PPP) was about 3:1 in Germany (US$25,000 for the West, about US$8,500 for the East).[33][34] The ratio is close to 18:1 in Korea (in 2011: US$31,700 for the South, US$1,800 for the North).[35] While at the moment of German reunification the East German population (around 17 million) was about a third of the West German (more than 60 million), the North Korean population (around 24.5 million) is currently around half of South Korea's (around 49 million).

Holy hell, if I were in ROK's charge I would build a wall prop up NK as long as possible and hope China agrees to take over this hellhole.

Sounds really silly now I'm typing it out, but I think I'll wait for confirmation from the North.

Unironically quoting the IBTimes should feel silly.
