Historically and Herstorically walls of exclusion have failed globally.

Concrete wall still divides Korea!

This wall causes national division and blocks national reconciliation. The cold war may have ended in Europe, but it still continues in North East Asia on the Korean Peninsula.

Korean unreality

The walls and fences around North Korea to to keep its people IN because the grotesque Stalinist system is such a dismal failure that they'd all leave given the chance (and thousands do risk their lives escaping through China to the South). On the other hand precisely one South Korean has moved in the opposite direction in the last four years.
It was exactly the same in the old East Germany and the rest of communist Europe. The communist propaganda was that the walls and fences were to keep western fascists out, but mysteriously all those shot trying to cross were trying to get out, not to get in.
A very peculiar sort of border defence that shoots those trying to escape, not those trying to invade.

Perhaps the diplomatic row that broke out between North Korea and Vietnam in 2004 after the latter airlifted 468 North Korean refugees to Seoul was all a fabrication too?
Apology for the 'DPRK' doesn't really fool anyone except those already desperate to believe that things are all rosy in the socialist paradise under the wise rule of the Dear Leader.

What? Allurment and abduction of North Koreans to South Korea?

DPRK activities but that was 5 years ago it has now been smoothed over.Basically they
were allured to Vietnam in small groups over a period of time.
The south Korean authorities, at the U.S. instigation and under its command, faked up the so-called "massive defection of northerners and their transfer." They took away hundreds of northerners, mainly women and children, to south Korea in groups after alluring them to Vietnam via the vicinity of the DPRK on a phased basis.
As a matter of fact, most of the northerners whom they described as "defectors from the north" are those who fell victim to the allurement tactics of the enemy's spy organs after going to Northeast China for a visit to their relatives.
It is by no means accidental that this case was faked up in less a week after the "bill on human rights in north Korea" envisaging fabulous "financial aid" to the "defectors from the north" was passed through the U.S. House of Representatives.
The U.S. media made much fuss, as if they had been waiting for the opportunity to occur, that the wholesale defection of north Koreans proves bankruptcy of the north Korean regime's education, information activities and control over its citizens. They cried for joy that it would be a best scenario if this leads to the collapse of north Korea.
This clearly proves that the case 5 years ago was, to all intents and purposes, a product of the U.S. hostile DPRK policy whose ultimate aim is to topple its political system and it was prompted by the deliberate intention of dishonest elements in south Korea desirous of discord and confrontation between the north and the south.
What should not be overlooked is that Vietnam conspired with them in this case.
The DPRK has information enough to prove that Vietnam was involved in the plot of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities to allure and abduct citizens of the DPRK.
Through its involvement in the case Vietnam self-exposed that it could stoop to any perfidious action, discarding elementary sense of obligation and morality between the states, in order to meet its own interests.
The DPRK will certainly make non-governmental organizations in some countries pay for their flesh traffic worldwide as they had been engrossed in threatening, alluring and trading off DPRK citizens under the signboard of humanitarianism at the instigation of the U.S.
The U.S. seems to calculate that it can use the issue of "defectors" for bringing down the DPRK as it did erstwhile East European countries. This is, however, as foolish an act as trying to put an end to the sun.
No issue between the DPRK and the U.S., to say nothing of the nuclear issue, can be settled unless the U.S. fundamentally drops its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
