“The Dali Lama should be shot” — as per the reportingfromnewyork.com blog:
. . . Propagandizing to a bus-load of American journalism students visiting China on a study abroad program last summer, Chinese Spokesman, Yoichi Shimatsu made it clear, that in China, not only is the Dalai Lama considered a criminal, he is a Nazi war criminal, responsible for the deaths of countless innocents, and deserves to be shot on sight.
Wait a minute — you mean that same crackpot freelance reporter who wrote that the Cheonan was sunk by an American mine?!
Yep — Shimatsu even quotes as a source “North Korean intelligence analyst Kim Myong Chol”, per Wikipedia:
“Dr. Kim Myong Chol is a Zainichi Korean writer and editor based in Japan and an unofficial spokesperson of North Korea, regularly traveling to Pyongyang and around the world portraying the North Korean leadership and politics. He is a close associate of Kim Jong-il.
If Shimatsu is an example of the sort of people who are behind the conspiracy theories that have plagued South Korea’s desire to describe the reality of dealing with North Korea and it’s number one backer (China), I wonder just how South Korea should deal with the people who run China who seem to have their own agenda: at the expense of all Koreans.

That disinformation piece by Shimatsu was interesting. He cites only NK mouthpiece Kim Myong Chol briefly and later explains in great detail about rising mines and the USNS Salvor and its role in Foal Eagle and in joint exercises in Thailand. He provides no military sources for this information. I dug up what appears to be Kim Myong Chol’s public statement here (note the 3 thumbs up versus 8 thumbs down for the story on this Chinese website. Joseonjok have no use for this propagandist’s deflection of blame away fron the North Koreans) Kim Myong Chol mentions Foal Eagle but does not describe rising mines or the USNS Salvor, so where did Shimatsu get this information? From Chinese and North Korean military sources that he chose not to credit, perhaps?
Or maybe from his posterior…
Looks like he was tipped off from Chinese propaganda agency. There are over 250,000 people gets funds from Chinese govt to spread lies over Internet.
whereas you do it on your own accord.
CMM they pay you way too much. Anything to support or dispute the blog? Didn’t think so.
I appreciate what my man had to say about the off-the-wall comments about the Dalai Lama:
This is very strange especially considering that the Chinese hired Albert Speer’s son (architect to the Third Reich and Hitler) to design a large part of their Olympic avenue for their Olympic fiasco in Beijing.
Hamilton – support or dispute WHAT blog? I didn’t mention anyone’s blog.
Perhaps what I was referring to were the false and outlandish claims that he made about another MH poster and me. When I challenged him to support them, he had nothing.
What horse do you have in this race anyway?
cmm, here is your answer

Chinese govt pays 280,000 Chinese to troll.
This is how these Chinese are able to access to many banned websites to post “Pro-China” comments. There are alot of them in Asiafinest, Asianfanatics, Chinahistoryforum, soompi etc..
KS – Thanks for “clearing that up,” but, with me, it didn’t need to be cleared up. I never doubted the charge that the CCP hired trolls.
N.Korea is Chinese biatch… Just as U.S. is Israel’s biatch…
