Ruthless?  That's hilarious! Been there many times on business and pleasure, and it's anything but.  I move about freely as do the citizens and businessmen.  "Ruthless" is killing hundreds of thousands for NOTHING in the middle east. 

China actually has been trading partners with S. Korea and S. Korea even has its businesses within China.  China's and S. Korea started relations in the 1980's.  This is nothing "new".  China just recently extended a friendly hand since the THAAD was installed...proving once again the Chinese want to negotiate and not turn over a government.

Yeah, they're building up their military.  We do it every year to the tune of leading the planet on military spending.  They're not allowed to defend themselves?  Difference is we use ours to kill all the time.  It's happening right now.

This nation is seriously broken domestically and internationally.  We support freedom as long as it fits our agenda.  Saudi's are free? We support them...
