Also Japan will not want a unified Korea - there's enough competition with South Korea already, and they can 'live' with North Korea / keep the status quo as long as the US has their back.Īnyhow the decision is between China, the US ("UN Command") and North Korea - the signatories of the Korean War Armistice Agreement. The episode parodied the decreasing popularity of the Donald Trump administration by loosely comparing it to suffering from Stockholm syndrome. South Korea will not give up its democracy (and western alliances) / way of life for unification, but China will not want a democratic North Korea (similar reason to why they don't want Taiwan or Hong Kong to exist - democracy next door, especially one aligned to the US, is a 'threat'), so China will continue to prop up and support the Kim Jong-un dynasty to keep North Korea 'alive'. The 284th overall episode of the series, it first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on November 8, 2017. The Korean peninsula is tiny, and surrounded by hostile global competing powers China, Russia, Japan. They had a very brief interaction, but as they parted ways, the NKs were able to complete the SK's sentence, as if it was second nature, "What do we want?" - "Unification". He was very surprised at the sight of North Koreans (as anyone should be). There was a YouTUbe clip - a young South Korea vlogger, who happened to meet North Korean workers in Thailand. I'm pretty sure it's the same for North Koreans. My father's Korean, and his generation (the 'older' generation), unification was the obvious longing hope (nowadays it's a bit more complicated). ![]() Regarding unification… Don't you think South Korea wants that? If South Korea needs more workers they should unify with North Korea But they were legally allowed to be dicks if they wanted to It was a good job at a good company with good treatment. The silly thing was that I hardly ever did overtime. It's basically as if all those Aus companies getting 50hrs out of 38hr contracts were actually scared of FairWork coming after them, but also allowed to change the contract to "50 hours" to keep it the same. So while I was contractually obliged to work ~60hrs/week if needed, they were also very aware and upfront about their own obligation to pay overtime for anything beyond that. ![]() The unexpected side of all this, at least in Japan, is that it seemed to be kinda a result of strong labour law enforcement. I'm not familiar with Korea, but I expect the idea is pretty much the same. This seemed to be common, making it standard pay for standard work, and a way for companies to bake in higher expectations, whether or not they pay for it. My salary included "extra" for assumed overtime, whether I did any or not.
