A Revolutionary Change to the Future of the Automobile Industry has entered the market from North Korea

Actually they are kind of cool like how they don't use English on their labels. I want one.

I don't know what they are saying. Actually I am not even sure if it is North Korean but that is what I was told.

Homeland Bound: Returning to North Korea

53 minutes 42 seconds -

Documentary on the little-known Homeland Project, in which 93,000 Zainichi Koreans were persuaded by North Korean Officials to return to their homeland. The fate of what happened to them is unknown.

Looking at the Homeland Project through eyewitness accounts and classified documents from Japan, North Korea, Russia, USA, Eastern Europe.

Annyong Haseo: Behind the gates of North Korean Schools in Japan


Award winning documentary on the only North Korean School in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. To my surprise they actually teach some things you would assume a Kim Jong Il funded organization would hide, like how many Zainichi Koreans were not forced to come to Japan, rather they came for work but try to claim they were forced. Maybe North Koreans are not as brainwashed as we assume?

Political Problems between China and South Korea

We all know that there are political issues between Japan and China/Korea. But lately, China and Korea have had numerous run-ins with each other.

They include territorial arguments over Cho Haku Zan (Korean: Paek Tu San), a mountain located on the border between North Korea and China. It is holy to the Korean people but the Chinese up until recently have paid very little attention.

Also, there is the Kogurye Theories and the mysterious motives between why the Chinese Government-sponsored Historical Committee would want to start bringing this up now. The Kogurye Theory states that the Ancient Korean nation of Kogurye was actually just a Chinese Province.

The Kogurye Theories, by extension, would mean that most of the Korean Peninsula even Pyongyang and Seoul are actually rightful historical possessions of the Chinese. All of a sudden bringing this up now could mean that growing China is positioning herself to move into and occupy starving North Korea if and when it does collapse.

Speech by a Zainichi North Korean High School Student



A Zainichi North Korean is a North Korean National who lives in Japan. Almost all Zainichi North Koreans have been in Japan for decades, because North Korea does not let it's citizens out. They are a very clannish people, and tend to goto their own schools (comprising a curriculum based around the history of the dear leader Kim Jong-Il), work at their own companies, and socialize within their own circles - all while being under the watchful eye of the Chongryon, a North Korean Nationals Association.

Although North Korea related groups are known to tell their people what to say, there is no information to the contrary so as far as I know this is a genuine speech. What do you think?
