That is the point. Diplomatic nuances speak volumes
that is the sad part (Korean Penisula war). We move on and modify our forms and ideologies while the americans are forcing theirs onto the N Koreans while keeping the S Koreans as puppets.
We say you are keeping the N Koreans as puppets while the South lives free.
Relations between the two Ks used to be less tense in the years of the Sunshine policy.
And I'd advise you against this liberal optimism on your post. Even such oppressives regimes as the North Korean can survive for long, in case they find a position of equilibrium in the international balance of forces, and can maintain enough social cohesion in its interior. And it seems NK has managed to do both. With a large army, which has fastly improved its capabilities for the decade; and a subdued population that is completely closed to the outside world, and is exposed to nothing political but government propaganda -- I don't think there are conditions for regime change in NK anytime soon, and this is not China's fault.
Well we will see, with the new nuclear tests supposedly coming up.
