Sister of North Korean leader threatens to end military agreement with South over leaflets

[ALMASDARNEWS] A senior North Korea

...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...
n official expressed their country’s dissatisfaction with the dispatch of anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border in South Korea, waving the possibility of canceling the inter-Korean military agreement.

The younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Yo jung, first vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party, issued a statement on Thursday, saying that North Korea warns of a full withdrawal from the Gaeseong Joint Industrial Complex after stopping the tours to Mount Kumgang, according to the newspaper "Rodong Shinmun" of the ruling Labor Party.

She stated that South Korea cannot say that it does not know what is included in the terms of the Panmunjom Declaration and the inter-Korean military agreement regarding the pledge to suspend all provocative actions on the military border, warning that South Korea should expect to face the worst crisis soon, if it permits.

These actions were carried out on the pretext of individual freedom and freedom of expression, while this year celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the June 15 inter-Korean declaration.

It called on the South to enact a law prohibiting the sending of anti-North Korean publications or campaigning to seize these publications.

In the statement, Kim referred to a civilian group of North Korean defectors, who on May 31 sent anti-North Korean leaflets across the border.

On May 31, the Fighters for a Free North Korea, a civilian organization made up of North Korean refugees stationed in South Korea, sent 500,000 publications, 50 brochures, 2,000 US dollars and 1,000 cross-border memory cards to North Korea.

#3 Some Korean women are domineering, but I think that is mostly those in a privileged position. The Samsung executive wives I knew in Germany told of being told to stand still and cry when the boys teased, instead of trying to fight back, because almost all the boys in South Korea get martial arts training. And they lost their own identity upon marriage, becoming known to all as X’s wife thereafter, attaining a new identity as First child’s mom once a child arrived. Only immediate family and childhood friends knew their names, my ladies being thrilled by the intimacy that I ignorantly demanded the first time I met the group.

Perhaps it was only because they were the wives of senior executives, but my ladies also dropped everything to cater to the needs of their husbands’ careers, relying on one another to babysit children when suddenly called upon to attend business dinners, for example.

#2 Korean women tend to be dominating. Some Chinese women also. Japanese women are traditionally passive. Have done business with 2 South Korean women and one Chinese Mandarin woman. All were very interesting experiences.
