China Halts Repatriation of N.Korean Defectors | |
2012-04-19 | |
The Chinese government has halted the repatriation of North Korean defectors, apparently in response to South Korean requests.
"North Korea failed to inform China of specific plans to launch its missile last Friday," another Chinese official told the Japanese daily, which added that BeijingÂ’s anger at being kept in the dark played a role in the decision to stop the repatriations. China drew condemnation from international human rights groups by claiming North Korean defectors were not political refugees but merely economic migrants searching for work. But the Yomiuri said Beijing's stance appears to have changed since Chinese President Hu Jintao met his South Korean counterpart Lee Myung-bak on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul last month, when Hu pledged to "respect" the South's request to stop repatriating them. | |

#2 ION NOT-HOME-ALONE/SLEEPLESS ON THE YALU, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Yet another]100,000 CHINESE RESIDENTS MAY HAVE TO MOVE DUE TO FEARS OF THREE GORGES DAM COLLAPSE. Landslides + sidebank collapses seen. The massive 3GD was supposed a source of Chin national pride + credibility, ala "The Great Wall", but instead may had caused or exascerbated myriad of Probs both inside + outside of China proper, NOTABLY CHINA'S + ASIA'S "MISSING/DISAPPEARING WATER". Besides prouducing vital hydro-energy, 3GD was suppos to be combatting China's environ desertification, not causing it. |
