That’s just nonsense. North Korea has always done business with China. South Korean businesses can smell the demise of North Korea, and they want all the natural resources for themselves.

“South Korean businesses can smell the demise of North Korea, and they want all the natural resources for themselves.”

While I believe this to be absolutely true, I suspect that outside of cheap labor, pickings are likely a little on the slim side when it comes to natural resources.
