		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a conversation with a fellow that had worked for the WFP in North Korea. She made an interesting point. Apparently, in North Korea there is a trend in the use of &#8216;organic&#8217; agriculture in smaller, individual plots &#8211; and this was supported by state propaganda! As of yet I haven&#8217;t seen any North [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been several border skirmishes recently that have gone largely unnoticed by the international media. The first was &#8220;likely an accident&#8221; along the border, when a North Korean guard post fired at a South Korean guard post. The South Korean side fired back two rounds. More recently, South Korean patrol vessels have on two occasions sought [...]]]></description>

They mostly focus on a South Korean commercial/government perspective, but were open to social aspects as well. Check them out&#8230; http://www.junotane.com They have also got me agreeing to help answer questions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think of this scenario. North Korea collapses. The Korean tax payer is loaded with a new Value Added Tax (VAT) and a hefty income tax to pay for unification. Japan, the United States, China all come to the party and contribute significant amounts to help stabilise and reform the north. But only then do people [...]]]></description>

Grand National Party (GNP) spokesman Ahn Hyoung-hwan stated that government leaders are reviewing whether to provide food aid after a meeting on Sunday with the party&#8217;s chairman.

		<description><![CDATA[There are no official details of the proposed unification tax. Indeed, in my belief, the whole concept is as much about sparking debate on unification as it is about financially preparing for unification. Nevertheless, there are questions that are starting to gain greater attention in the local press. Firstly, how is the government going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new tax has been proposed to prepare South Korea for the costs of unification. While I am never one to support a new tax, I reckon this is an excellent idea! Least of all because it will begin a conversation &#8211; a conversation that has been lacking in South Korea for around ten years. [...]]]></description>
