The fact that China was picked as the country that most supports reunification tells me that the Korean media and the Korean education system have really screwed up Korea's youth.

(ie I'm frusturated with my arrogent coworker who does 35% of the work and gets a higher salary than me... but I would prefer him being around to the thought of doing all the work myself.) Not to say the this is the relationship between the US and ROK. Ok, I’m sure I’m missing something here but can’t one have grievances about something while still understanding its necessity.
