North Korea’s “Ghost Ships” May Be Caused By Fishing Deal with China
|Just another example of the horrors the Kim regime has brought on the North Korean people:
A fishing deal between North Korea and China could be why dozens of boats containing dead bodies have appeared in Japan recently, experts have said.
The Japanese coast guard has found around 50 dilapidated boats believed to be from North Korea — many containing corpses or skeletons — along the country’s western coast since the beginning of November, the Japan Times reported on Tuesday.
The latest discovery came on Wednesday, when officials in Akita found a wooden boat containing partially decomposed bodies, one of which was wearing a badge of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, according to CNN.
The exact reasons behind the phenomenon remain unclear — it could be due to food scarcity in North Korea, as one expert previously told Business Insider, or it could be due to annual quotas imposed on North Korean fishermen.
It could also be because North Korea has sold fishing rights off its west coast to China, forcing fishermen to flock to its east coast near Japan, where sea conditions are too rough for rickety wooden boats this time of year. [Business Insider]
You can read more at the link, but according to the article the Kim regime sold off their West Coast fishing rights to China for $75 million.
$75 million will buy a lot of rocket parts & Kim won’t even worry about missing a meal.
I’m surprised China didn’t just take it.
