RE OFFICE 39 KOREA CHINA
'Strategic trading partners':
China 'unenthusiastic' re sanctions, while it already supplies most of N Korea's luxury goods.
Well, who is taking orders from whom, and why, and how has it ended up that way?
The Casanova hand of the laissez faire market, of course.
Japan a present and previous strategic partner, had been greedily, though covertly (only as far as the average McCarthyite American knew) trading with 'Communist' China in the 50s, while also ravenously trading with the US and Taiwan, and of course with any Western Bloc nation that would do so. In previous posts, I have referred to it as 'Playing Three Sides In The Cold War'.
