[quote][B]Five North Koreans trying to escape the rogue state have reportedly been shot dead as they crossed the border into China. [/B] It was reportedly the first time that North Korean border guards had pursued defectors and shot them after they had reached the Chinese side of the border, according to South Korean newspaper the Chosun Ilbo. Two others were injured. In recent years the line between [B][URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/"]North Korea[/URL][/B] and China has been relatively porous, with a steady stream of refugees and traders crossing over either to escape North Korea's food shortages or to do business. Border towns in China have become thriving commercial areas, with the local Tesco in Dandong having a special counter just for North Korean customers. The Chosun Ilbo speculated that borders guards may have been given new instructions to suppress the number of defectors. The paper quoted a source in the Chinese province of Jilin who said the seven had left Hyesan in Yanggang province and walked across the frozen Yalu river to reach China last month. However, guards had pursued them across and taken the two injured defectors back to North Korea. Meanwhile, Robert Gates, the United States Defence secretary, said in Beijing that North Korea was becoming a direct threat to the US and could shortly have an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the west coast of the US. He said that he felt that within five years "North Korea will have developed an intercontinental ballistic missile – not that they will have huge numbers or anything like that. But they will have a very limited capability."[/quote][quote]However, guards had pursued them across and taken the two injured defectors back to North Korea.[/quote] :smith: [IMG]http://images.morris.com/images/athens/mdControlled/cms/2009/03/21/412718937.jpg[/IMG] Pop pop pop watchin mother fuckers drop. I feel sorry for them being starving hungry nearly all the time. Also I didn't know they had Tescos in China
Both Korea's are shit, I think it's funny when people think North Korea is the only bad one.
[quote] after they had reached the Chinese side of the border[/quote] So will China start a war? I know if this happened in the US nukes would be flying.

They were trying to escape paradise of best korea, they crazy enough to deserve get shot
[QUOTE=xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx;27353651]Both Korea's are shit, I think it's funny when people think North Korea is the only bad one.[/QUOTE] Actually they defected into China and were shot by the PRK. Did you read the story?

that picture is badass
[QUOTE=Thom12255;27353692]What wrong with the South?[/QUOTE] Rather than reading the bullshit the mass media feeds you, read up some proper stuff about S. Korea.
[QUOTE=xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx;27353778]I know, I bet the same shit happens in South Korea, but isn't reported by the media because the media needs a "bad guy".[/QUOTE] Why would South Koreans want to go into North Korea.
This probably happens a lot sadly.

[QUOTE=xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx;27353847]I don't think you read my post properly, try again.[/QUOTE] What I got from it was that you said that the South Korean Border Control shot people trying to leave the country. Considering the only country that actually boarders with SK is NK, I can't think of a good reason why people would want to move from a country that's doing relatively well for where it is, to one ruled by a dictatorship filled with starving people.
i believe he's claiming that south korea executes north koreans defectors
[QUOTE=DualReaver;27354087]i believe he's claiming that south korea executes north koreans defectors[/QUOTE] That makes more sense.
[QUOTE=DualReaver;27354087]i believe he's claiming that south korea executes north koreans defectors[/QUOTE] What? lol, I'm saying that South Korea is just as bad as North Korea and probably do the same kind of shit all the time, the media just uses North Korea as the enemy because you need a good and a bad side.
[QUOTE=xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx;27353847]I don't think you read my post properly, try again.[/QUOTE] I think you are retarded, South Korea is a democracy and a safe haven for NK refugee's, so border guards in SK protect the civilians that cross their borders, they wont shoot them for no reason.
[QUOTE=DualReaver;27354087]i believe he's claiming that south korea executes north koreans defectors[/QUOTE] I hardly think that'd be the case.

China's government isn't much better than NK's government anyway.

I wonder which one is true.

Trust me. We do not need a bad guy and a good guy.
So they actually went into China to shoot them? If the same thing happened back with East and West Germany a war would've certainly broken out. When you were across the border back then the border guards couldn't do shit, you could flip them off and do all you want; If they shot you on western soil, they would've started an international conflict. Seeing as China is distancing themselves from NK more and more it kinda surprises me they let this happen.
[QUOTE=zombojoe;27355267]xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx[/QUOTE] Yeah, he's been posting cynical shit like this all over the News Section. [editline]11th January 2011[/editline] And I thought '10ers were bad.
[QUOTE=xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx;27353778]I know, I bet the same shit happens in South Korea, but isn't reported by the media because the media needs a "bad guy".[/QUOTE] Defectors VERY RARELY go through the South Korean border, if that is what you are saying. They go through China almost always.
