| North Koreans seek asylum at US embassy in Beijing |
| 2002-04-27 |
| Two North Koreans have been accepted for resettlement in a third country after entering a U.S. embassy compound in the Chinese capital, American officials said Saturday. The pair's entry into the American compound on Friday came a day after another North Korean's asylum bid at the German Embassy in Beijing. The U.S. Embassy official, who declined to be identified, would not identify the third country nor say whether the two who entered were male or female. The official did say, however, that the third country was not the United States. "The U.S. Embassy has worked with the Chinese government to resolve this situation. We appreciate the Chinese government's constructive response," said the official. They keep voting with their feet. One of these days they'll have an actual majority. |
