Bush to Pressure Chinese Premier on North Korean Defectors

Thankfully it looks like President Bush is going to continue to pressure the Chinese over the deportation of North Korean defectors:

President George W. Bush is expected to make a statement on human rights conditions in North Korea in his meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao on Thursday. He is tipped to cite the case of a woman using the alias Kim Chun-hee, who recently escaped North Korea only to be forcibly repatriated by Beijing, according to the Washington Post. Various activist groups that have descended on Washington for the “North Korea Freedom Week” plan to hold an all-night protest against the repatriations on April 28 in front of the Chinese Embassy.

Now if only the South Koreans would get on board too.

To their credit the South Koreans are currently wrapped up in the greatest security threat the country has seen since the Hideyoshi invasion of 1592 with the current Japanese invasion plan to claim the Dokdo isles. With pressing security threats like this who can blame them for not caring about North Korean defectors.
