22 hours ago ago from Seoul Shakedown Party
The DMZ (or Demilitarized Zone) which serves as the border of North and South Korea is a pretty crazy place. It runs all 155 miles across the Korean peninsula (cutting it in half along the 38th parallel) and is the most heavily militarized border in the world. Our tour, lead by American military officers, was scant on history but we were allowed into places many tours aren't permitted. Only about 40 minutes from Seoul, we first headed to ...

Anyway, to me the big story is North Korea stepping up its opposition even through military might to the NLL (Northern Limit Line). This is a line whose existence ...

The diplomatic records of China's relations with North Korea since 1948 are full of uncomfortable and often forced choices, strained declarations of friendship, and realizations of mutual need. This relationship has seen hard times in the past, from the ulcer-generating lead up to China's intervention in the Korean War to the hostile cross-border propaganda war in the late 1960s.
