This review is from: China's Rise and the Two Koreas: Politics, Economics, Security (Paperback)

I read the book and thought that the Chinese were stupid.... I then went to China and found out how smart they really are. They stole all the best western ideas. The North Koreans are in the stone age, and China is distancing themselves from them. Finally, the Koreas need to re-unite. The most positive thing is that we(the USA)get to go home.
