Volume 6 The Situation of War Chapter 47 Template
Xinglong stayed in Pyongyang for 2 days and had three official meetings with Kim Cheolan.
On the 23rd, Kim Cheol-nam held a state banquet to entertain Pang Xinglong. The next morning, North Korean cabinet Prime Minister Kim Joon-young and Foreign Minister Lu Cheol-dou issued a joint statement, claiming that North Korea has signed a series of bilateral cooperation treaties and agreements with the Republic, and that the Republic is North Korea's "most trustworthy friend."
North Korea's high-profile statement is not just about using the Republic to "boosting courage".
According to the subsequent news released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, during his visit to North Korea, Pang Xinglong discussed the situation in Northeast Asia and the Japanese nuclear issue with North Korea's top leader Kim Cheol-nam, and enhanced bilateral friendship and mutual trust. He then signed a bilateral document focusing on economic and trade exchanges such as the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" (additional clause), the "Memorandum of Economic Cooperation", the "Bilateral Trade Understanding Agreement", and the "Agreement on Mutual Trust between China and North Korea Economic and Civil Exchanges".
There is no doubt that the Republic has a much "low-key" attitude.
The Treaty on Friendship and Mutual Assistance (Additional Articles) mainly involves that without posing a threat to a third party, the Republic provides defensive weapons and equipment to North Korea to help North Korea improve its national defense power and maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. In exchange, North Korea unilaterally opens domestic nuclear facilities to the Republic's verification agency, promising not to target nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances. The content not disclosed to the outside world is that the Republic provides a nuclear protection umbrella to North Korea and trains pilots and technical personnel of the North Korean Air Force. North Korea hand over the nuclear warheads and nuclear devices that have been produced to the Republic for transformation, ensuring that nuclear weapons will never be used without the permission of the Republic.
It can be said that this is Pang Xinglong’s biggest gain in Pyongyang.
From another perspective, Kim Cheol-nam made the most favorable choice for North Korea. Later it was proved that North Korea only had only three nuclear devices weighing several tons and were not very reliable. These nuclear devices were all buried near the ceasefire line of North Korea and South Korea, and were prepared to resist large-scale ground attacks by US and South Korea troops, and had almost no practical value. In other words, North Korea actually does not have the ability to threaten nuclear.
By handing over a pitifully small number of nuclear devices, North Korea has received the Republic's comprehensive national security commitment and guarantee.
The "Memorandum of Economic Cooperation" mainly involves the Republic helping North Korea develop its economy, which is basically a unilateral aid agreement. According to relevant regulations, the Republic will invest hundreds of billions of yuan in the future to help North Korea build and improve its national infrastructure; encourage domestic capital to invest in North Korea in the form of a national guarantee, and North Korea provides the best tax policy for Republic capital; the Republic provides 1.5 million tons of rice and flour to North Korea at domestic prices every year, provide North Korea with advanced agricultural technology, help North Korea solve food production problems, etc.
Strictly speaking, the "Memorandum" is a life-saving amulet of the "Kin Family".
Although North Korea's economy is very closed and its dependence on foreign trade sites is not high. However, North Korea cannot do without external aid. It also needs to use foreign exchange to purchase and maintain the regime and domestic stability, including weapons and equipment necessary materials in the mainland. In the past, North Korea mainly relied on the sale of military technology to other countries, especially ballistic missile technology and nuclear technology for foreign exchange. According to unofficial statistics, in the first five years of the 211th century alone, North Korea obtained at least 50 yuan of foreign exchange from Iran and other countries by selling ballistic missile technology. With the outbreak of the financial crisis, the Iran war began, and a large number of anti-missile weapons were launched. North Korea's "missile foreign exchange" dropped sharply. If the North Korean government cannot solve this problem, as foreign exchange decreases, it is impossible to import necessary materials to maintain stability in countries (including many drugs that are very common in other countries). The "Kim Family" will inevitably be done.
The Republic's aid can solve the local problems facing North Korea to a large extent.
For example, among the national infrastructure projects proposed by North Korea, there are traditional "infrastructure" such as roads, railways, bridges, airports, communication networks, water conservancy projects, urban drainage projects, etc., including hospitals, schools, pharmaceutical factories, fertilizer factories, food processing plants, hydropower stations, etc., which were previously "industrial facilities" or "public facilities".
For example, North Korea has cooperated with private enterprises in the places where the government has guaranteed it. It is mainly for the Republic to eliminate textiles, leather processing, papermaking, mining, etc., which require a large amount of labor and energy, and will also cause serious pollution. There are not many low-end industries with added value. North Korea has not introduced high-tech enterprises. In addition to concentrating efforts on solving national living problems and improving national living security, it is mainly related to North Korea's backward education and lack of sufficient technical workers.
Needless to say, North Korea has become a beneficiary of the Republic's industrial structure adjustment.
According to the local agreement signed between the North Korea and the Republic's government and private enterprises, in addition to ensuring the daily needs of the North Korean people, most of the industrial products produced by North Korea will be sold to the Republic to meet the needs of the Republic's market for low-end products and create foreign exchange income for North Korea.
The Bilateral Trade Understanding Agreement means that both sides give each other the most-favored-nation treatment of trade and lift trade barriers.
In the short term, this agreement is beneficial to both sides. North Korea can obtain a large amount of cheap goods from the Republic to promote domestic economic development and improve national living standards; the Republic can obtain a large market of 2 million people, solve the survival problems of thousands of foreign trade enterprises, and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
In the long run, both sides can still benefit from it. North Korea can turn a lot of low
The huge market imported into the Republic, there is no need to worry about export issues; the Republic produces cheap and low-end products, sells high-end products to North Korean consumers with enhanced purchasing power, and controls North Korea through economic means.
Because the trade agreement is not a strategic agreement, the agreement must be adjusted according to changes in the current situation.
The "Agreement on Mutual Trust in China-North Korea Economic and Civil Exchanges" mainly involves three issues: one is the economic development zone, the second is the personnel exchange visa, and the third is the resettlement of stranded personnel.
North Korea will develop special economic zones in Shinyiju, Jiangjie, Huishan and Cheongjin, allowing Republican merchants and entrepreneurs to open factories, chambers of commerce and offices to provide the best treatment to Republican merchants in the special economic zone, reduce tax exemptions within the agreed time, etc. Later, as the North Korean economy gradually developed, domestic consumption capacity increased, Russia, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other countries signed similar agreements with North Korea and were allowed to enter the special economic zone.
In order to enhance mutual exchanges, North Korea simplifies visa procedures for Republicans who invest and travel to North Korea.
The most important point is the third point, namely the resettlement of North Korean personnel stranded in the Republic.
In the early 211th century, North Korea suffered natural disasters for three consecutive years, and millions of North Korean refugees flocked into the territory of the Republic. This not only caused a great burden on the Republic, but also affected the social security of the Republic, but also caused a tense diplomatic relations between the Republic and North Korea.
At its peak, more than 3 million North Korean refugees stranded in the mainland of the Republic!
At that time, North Korea's total population was less than 21 million.
For the Republic, it is very difficult to just ensure the survival of millions of refugees. Even if you don’t consider the living needs of other places, 3 million refugees can consume 1.5 million tons of food in a year. Including the expenditure on managing refugees, the Republic needs to spend tens of billions of yuan every year to support 3 million North Koreans!
For North Korea, 3 million refugees are a very difficult problem.
These refugees who have seen the "world" in the Republic and know what the outside world looks like after being deported to North Korea, will never believe that North Korea is a "paragraph". Other countries and people are in dire straits. It is a lie of the "Kim Family". Those who have knowledge and ability will definitely "seek change", and those who have no knowledge and ability will "rebel". When the Koreans, who account for 1/77 of the population, no longer obey the rule of the "Kim Family", the doomsday of the "Kim Family" will come.
At first, the Republic also wanted to repatriate refugees as soon as possible.
Three batches of refugees were repatriated, with a total of more than 30,000 refugees, and the Republic stopped repatriation work. The reason is very simple. All forced repatriation refugees were detained by the North Korean government and accepted "renovation". In the end, less than 1/10 of the refugees successfully completed the "renovation", and the rest evaporated!
At that time, the Republic's news media focused on reporting the news.
If refugees are forced to be repatriated, it is equivalent to pushing millions of North Koreans who once regarded the Republic as saviors into the fire pit.
It is also true that relations between the Republic and North Korea were seriously regressed during that period.
When Pang Xinglong visited Pyongyang, about 2.2 million North Korean refugees were still stranded in the Republic, of which nearly 1.8 million lived in refugee camps, and hundreds of thousands were scattered throughout the Republic (most of them were young North Korean women who married men from Republic and obtained the nationality of the Republic).
According to the agreement reached by both sides, North Korean refugees who are still stranded in the Republic will "voluntarily return to North Korea."
Subsequently, the Republic's government introduced relevant policies. Refugees who are unwilling to return to North Korea can apply for temporary nationality of the Republic and yearly "informal citizenship" status from the Republic if they have lived in the Republic for 8 years or have worked in the Republic for 3 years. During this period, as long as they have no illegal and criminal records, they can apply to the civil affairs department of the Republic where they live or work to become citizens of the Republic, and obtain permanent settlement and legal rights of citizens.
For both sides, this can be regarded as the "best of both worlds" solution.
In addition to the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance (additional provisions), the significance of several other cooperation agreements is not only reflected in the economy, trade, and humanitarianism, but also in the influence the Republic has exerted on North Korea.
The closed down and backward North Korea can only become an instability factor, and only the North Korea whose economy has developed is normal North Korea.
When the Republic helped North Korea, it embodied its habitual foreign policy, which neither interfered, guided other countries' internal affairs, did not subvert other countries' regimes, imposed ideologies on other countries, and did not propose any political additional clauses on economic aid. It fully respected and trusted friendly countries and gave friendly countries the right and space for independent and free development.
This is completely different from the foreign policy of Western countries dominated by the United States.
The Republic's policy toward North Korea provides new options for other countries that need assistance from major powers, and also provides a way to learn from all major powers with significant influence.
Later, the "North Korea Model" gradually became a model for the Republic's foreign exchanges!
