You know who this is.
I previously read a post that asked how NK ties into this whole thing.
Let's firs of all establish that NK was always a Chinese puppet government.
If you doubt this, go read what happened in the Korean War. What you
don't know is the why. Why does China want a puppet government.
Chinese government officials are essentially feudal lords, where they are
not elected, and their children will likely also get high positions, though
maybe you couldn't call them heirs. Let's say you are a son of a high
level official. What are you gonna do with yourself? Make the most
money most likely. How do you do that? Go into tech? Big money there.
Your family could help get government contracts, but tech is in the end
a performance based industry, a meritocracy, and what if other officials'
sons have tech companies, you will still have compeition. Why learn
tech anyways, when you could become a criminal, and in this sense
you are quite protected since the gov't wont prosecute for fear citizens
will suspect other connected people of the same thing.
No big surprise here, we know people in gov't are criminals. But you
guys gotta know that sons of rich ruling class people almost have no
choice but to be criminals, it's almost embarrassing not to.
So, where are you gonna conduct your enterprise? You gotta avoid
scrutiny, the media, police, etc. You are protected, but do you really
want to owe favors? Can you name a dark (media) country that conducts
dark (evil) business? How was Qatar soccer stadium built? How did
they get there?
What would be another reason to maintain a puppet government?
American president says, we will increase tariffs on goods brought
in from China. Can China coerce US back? That would invite a backlash
directly to China. Have NK threaten with missiles instead. US cannot
reveal NK/China connection because Chinese citizens would approve
of retaliation, since they lose face.
So, what does CIA have to do with this?
