North Korea gets food aid from China
January 31, 2012
LONG convoys of Chinese trucks laden with rice have been seen entering North Korea after Beijing reportedly agreed to provide major food aid to Pyongyang's new regime, a South Korean activist said.
Thousands of trucks delivered rice to the hungry North ,starting on January 9, said Do Hee-Yoon of the Seoul-based Citizens' Coalition for Human Rights of Abductees and North Korean Refugees.
A Japanese newspaper said Chinese leaders had agreed on the aid at a meeting on December 20, the day after North Korea announced the death of its longtime leader Kim Jong-Il.
The deliveries lasted about 10 days before the Lunar New Year holiday on January 23, Do told AFP.
As evidence, he presented pictures taken near the customs office in the northeastern town of Tumen on the Chinese side of the border on January 12.
One photo, taken from inside a taxi, showed trucks stacked with rice bags lined up on both sides of the road.
"Trucks laden with rice sacks were seen crossing the border into the North at various places including Tumen, Dandong and Jian,'' Do said.
"The delivery of rice aid was apparently completed within a pretty short timespan," he said, adding it was quite rare for China to provide the North with such massive food aid at one go.
China's foreign ministry urged the international community to give its impoverished neighbour more humanitarian aid.
It did not comment on a report by Japan's Tokyo Shimbun newspaper that China had decided to donate 500,000 tonnes of food and 250,000 tonnes of crude oil.
The paper said senior Chinese officials made the decision at a meeting chaired by President Hu Jintao, in a gesture of support for the new regime headed by Kim's youngest son Jong-Un.
South Korea's government stopped its own annual major food and fertiliser shipments to the North in 2008 after ties worsened between Pyongyang and a new conservative administration in Seoul.

China’s flagging economic aid to North Korea
Kornelius Purba, Jakarta | Opinion | Fri, August 24 2012, 8:37 AM
North Korea’s new leader, Kim Jong-un, has ambitions to revive the country’s collapsed economy as it is the only way to preserve his family’s control over the country.
He has taken an important preliminary step by reducing the military’s control of the economy. But his ambitions may backfire as the country has been under a military dictatorship for a very long time and the regime has little knowledge about market-based development, the key to China’s economic might today.
In a meeting with Kim’s special envoy last Friday, Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao delivered a clear message urging the North Korean leader to prioritize efforts to reviving the country’s frail economy.
Perhaps this is an indication of Beijing’s growing concern about Pyongyang’s dependence on Chinese economic assistance, and the little gratitude it has received in return for its extreme generosity.
Pyongyang’s stubbornness to go ahead with its nuclear weapon development program is alarming, not just for its neighbors such as Japan and South Korea, but eventually also for China.
North Korea has little experience in opening its market to foreign investors and the few foreign companies allowed in, including those from China, have complained they were cheated.
The continuously increasing number of starving people represents a major potential threat to China’s national security in the event of a regime collapse and a subsequent flood of refugees spilling over the border.
The failure to achieve food security in North Korea could destabilize the already fragile Korean Peninsula and the broader East Asia region.
During Friday’s meeting, the two Chinese leaders emphasized the strategic importance of North Korea as they sat down with Jang Song-thaek, Kim Jong-un’s uncle and chief of the central administrative department of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), but also underlined the need to follow in China’s footsteps in developing the North Korean economy.
According to China Daily, President Hu reiterated Beijing’s full support for Pyongyang’s economic development. “The President expressed a wish for both sides to explore new ways of cooperation and advance key projects including cooperation and development of economic zones,” the official newspaper reported on the meeting.
Meanwhile, Premier Jiabao assured Jang Song-thaek that China “resolutely supports the DPRK [North Korea] developing its economy and improving people’s livelihoods”.
Jong-un himself has recently told a Chinese official that “developing the economy and improving people’s livelihoods so that the Korean people can lead happy and civilized lives is the goal that the Korean Workers’ Party is working toward.”
While military tensions escalate between its three powerful neighbors — China, Japan and South Korea — with Japan moving closer to direct confrontation with China and South Korea over territorial claims, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un is focusing on how to salvage his nation from bankruptcy.
The young leader has apparently realized that he has no choice but to take quick action to rebuild the economy, as it is only a matter of several years before his regime will collapse if nothing is done to get the military-controlled economy back on track.
North Korea is now totally isolated following the decision of fellow dictator state Myanmar to drastically distance itself from Chinese economic backing and begin a series of political reforms.
The two countries were allies in terms of their isolation from the outside world at the expense of starving millions of their own citizens and forcing millions of others to endure extreme poverty.
Just days after the meeting in Beijing, The Associated Press (AP) had a rare economic report from Rason, North Korea, located near the Chinese city of Yanji, on Tuesday.
The American news agency was invited to cover a trade fair in Rason, one of the country’s special economic zones. Local officials boasted that foreign investment would receive maximum facilities and incentives. They also promised to amend more restrictive laws to ensure the comfort of foreign investors, mainly from China.
North Korea has created special economic zones since 1991. In 2004, it opened a similar facility near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) for South Korean companies.
But trading with North Korea is not easy, as Indonesia already knows. While Soeharto was in power, he wanted to boost trade ties with Pyongyang as part of his strategy to boost his international stature.
However, he soon realized that Pyongyang’s limited foreign exchange reserves made it difficult to continue his plan. Until today, Indonesian companies remain reluctant to make major deals with the communist country.
South Korean conglomerate Hyundai also had a bitter experience there, although it continues to maintain a presence for long-term purposes.
Likewise, Chinese companies have experienced difficulties in dealing with the North Korean bureaucracy. Xiyang Group complained via a website that “investment in North Korea was a nightmare. Business with North Koreans over the past four years has taught us that they are swindlers and robbers.”
The company lost its US$37 million investment there. Last year, Chinese trading authorities reportedly cautioned private companies to be extra wary about investing in North Korea.
Indonesia has always had a strong interest in playing a prominent role in bringing peace to the Korean Peninsula, and it has maintained good relations with North Korea for decades, which has in turn built Pyongyang’s confidence in Jakarta.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, with the help of the Foreign Ministry, needs to launch a new mission to share its experience with North Korea in dealing with foreign investment.
Indonesia’s experience shows that cheating foreign investors will only benefit a few government officials and private companies, while the costs have to be paid by the whole nation.

Bloody South Koreans are starving their own brothers and sisters to appease their white masters.
The sight of starving people is horrible and tragic, and for me the sight of Asians starving is the worst of all.
Fooking penny pinching, lap dog, rice hoarding South Koreans.

The Chinese have no humanity, people will bash North Korea but anyone with even a little bit of knowledge about the situation know that the day the Chinese stop supporting the Kims North Korea will accept change with open arms. Of course it doesn't matter for the CCP if a couple of common koreans die as long as they have a buffer state between them and a thriving democracy.
Oh please, the South Koreans would have no problem reuniting the Korean peninsula. Just stop supporting the Kims and the Southerners will save what little is left of the poor people in the North.

Child, China feeds the North Koreans whereas your country only knows bombs, bullets and bloodbath. What do you suggest? Cut off the rice and oil so that millions will perish for a brighter tomorrow? Kim Jong Eun is a pig and you would be stupid to think that China and North Korea are friends.

You give food to the elite not the commoners who are being reduced to inhuman savagery. Americans donate more than any other country on this planet for various humanitarian causes. It is not our fault you Chinese raised a psycho dog and now have lost the grip on its leash.

So you give out some food, big deal. With the endless wars and conquests in your country's short history, these pittance of handouts are a drop of water balancing against buckets of blood.
China entered the war in 1951 because you Americans forced our hand. China was starving and had just emerged from a century of war and turmoil - interfering in North Korea was not a choice but forced forced onto us.

Again with rhetoric amid changing the subject. You justifications for 1951 are poor excuses for the state of North Korea today, and CCP willingness to keep it that way.
lol ok, you are Spanish!
