The rhetoric has escalated to a final ultimatum from Republic of Korea (RoK, South Korea), “final talks” over the massive industrial complex known as Kaesŏng (Gaesong) Industrial Region (KIR).

I’ve pointed out that Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s closing of KIR hit the U.S. capitalist puppet RoK right in the nuts, despite western news media and public officials saying it was hurting DPRK.

On 28 July 2013, RoK unification minister in charge of cross-border affairs, Ryoo Kihl-Jae, announced that a final offer for talks to re-open KIR was sent to DPRK.  No details given, but he added that RoK was willing to send five shipments of humanitarian aid to DPRK to get them to re-open KIR.

On 27 July 2013, DPRK held a massive victory day celebration, and what western news media seemed to downplay was the fact that China’s vice president, Li Yuanchao, was standing right by the side of Kim Jong-un.  A clear show of support.  By the way, also present for the celebrations were political and military officials from Mozambique, Tanzania, Namibia, Uganda, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, India, Japan, Cuba, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iran, Mongolia and Russia.  Even former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark paid a visit during the week!

On 25 July 2013, DPRK negotiators declared KIR talks had collapsed, and threatened to turn the commie run crony capitalist corporations’ work camp into a full fledged military base: “If the fate of Kaesong industrial zone ends like this, the military would reclaim it.”-Pak Chol-Su, DPRK delegate

You need to realize it was DPRK that made sacrifices for the creation of the capitalist KIR.  The area was originally a DPRK military base, and they agreed to remove their military forces and create a massive work camp for the sake of U.S. capitalist puppet corporations from RoK.
