OK...since you didn't say, I'll assume it's 50.1%, but maybe 1/3 of that is disputable. <ggg>

Let's see...1/3 of $42B still leaves $28B, and DPRK's total imports were a grand total of 1.874B in 2001. Assuming China gets all of that, it would only take them 15 years to make up for 1 year of lost exports to the USA. How's my math?

..most of the trade surplus will be gone in the next 3-5 years because of the ever increasing consumer buying power of the middle-class Chinese.

That is good news. For everyone. Including you. Perhaps the economy will be good enough for you to return home someday.

It's also good news that close to half of the country oppose war for NK's dictatorship. May their tribe increase.
