Here is the picture of the Chinese gestapo after subduing a young N. Korean woman who tried to enter the Japanese consulate to gain asylum.
Now look at the image preceeding the picture above -- as she was running, right before being caught.
You'll notice something missing in the top picture.
But look close and you can see...
The toddler has been knocked down and the gestapo thug in the back is bending down picking her up.
Wow. I wonder if they will show it here?
Networks? Cables?
"And, in other words, the person, the individual, the demand for a product influences the production, as opposed to the other way around. Recognizing the desires of the individual in the marketplace is part of a free society. It is a part of the definition of freedom. And I see that as the most significant change that I can see, besides the new buildings and all the construction." -- President Bush, Tsinghua University, Red China 2002
Why would the Chinese accept North Koreans from South Korea when they are deporting them back to North Korea??
And don't tell us that they are acting as a South Korean agent to do it for them, that doesn't wash without an reliable source. You are full of BS.
A source that shows the Chinese Crack down see also excerpt below.

Crackdown Intensified on North Korean Escapees in China
The Chosun Ilbo,29 July 2001. The crackdown on North Korean escapees in China has been intensified since June 20 when the seven-member family of Chang Kil Su arrived in Seoul after seeking asylum at the Beijing office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. "Never has the crackdown by the Chinese authorities been more severe than it is now," say officials of churches and human rights organizations helping those refugees in China. An ethnic Korean resident in Yanbian, Kim Sung Il, 37 (alias,) who has been assisting North Korean escapees for several years, is distraught these days. He had guided North Korean refugees, collected in Yanbian, to Chinese cities like Tianjin and Shenyang, where he had arranged for their hiding.
Of late thirty-odd North Korean refugees he had been looking after were rounded up by Chinese security police, according to him. "I felt a strong sense of betrayal learning that the arrests came at a tipoff by a fellow Korean-Chinese I've trusted, having been induced by a reward," confided Kim. The Chinese security police are said to have confiscated from his house a satellite antenna and a tape recorder. In an attempt to get the refugees out of a Chinese detention camp by bribing Chinese prison guards, Kim scrounged all the money he could, but to no avail. 5,000 yuan, equivalent to about KW800,000(USD615), used to be sufficient to bribe prison guards, but these days, according to him, offering even 10,000 yuan(USD1230) cannot achieve this end.
Three hundred and seventy North Korean refugees, rounded up by Chinese security police, are alleged to be detained in Tuman and Dandong, both cities just across the Tumen and Yalu Rivers, Kim claimed, quoting Chinese security police officers. A missionary group helping North Korean refugees in China too was distraught recently when Chinese authorities rounded up 100-odd refugees they had been looking after. Among them were a family of a former Korean resident in Japan who had migrated to North Korea and many women. An 18-year-old daughter, whose parents were rounded up, was rescued from the hands of a local human trafficking group, only to disappear again, said an official of the group.
The Chinese security police have reportedly put up a reward of between 3,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan on information leading to the arrest of a North Korean escapee, the funding of which is rumored to come from North Korea. Posing the biggest threat to North Korean refugees in China is said to be advance information on them by ethnic Koreans residing in northeastern China, induced by the reward money. A reward guaranteed upon the notification of a North Korean escapee to the Chinese authorities, whereas uncovered protection of one ensues a fine, cannot but be enticing to some Korean-Chinese. Cold treatment of North Korean escapees is said to be worsening particularly because there is no guarantee that such refugees, protected by them, will eventually be able to reach South Korea. Few North Korean refugees, sent back to the North, now make renewed flights to China, a sign of tightened control in the North, according to groups helping them there. Despite the reinforced crackdown and controls and the swollen waters of the Tumen River caused by recent heavy rain, the stream of escapees from the North never ceases, and no decrease is seen in the number of help requests filed with human rights and religious organizations in China.
Fleeing North Koreans Find No Refuge in China
International Herald Tribune, 26 July 2001. "We've finally made it," the younger brother said. "We got here safely," said the elder one. The two North Koreans were talking to their mother on a Chinese pay phone at the Mongolian border. That was the last their parents heard from the brothers until a week ago, when a friend told the parents the brothers had been seen in a prison in the Chinese town of Tumen, just across from North Korea. The zeal with which the Chinese police tracked down the sons dramatizes the severity of a crackdown throughout this region on North Korean refugees. In house-to-house searches, random questioning on street corners and search operations in remote villages and farms, the Chinese are trying to stem a tide that had produced about 300,000 refugees when the crackdown began last month.
After having fled North Korea with their mother in 1997, the brothers hid for two years in China before steeling themselves for the final trek to Mongolia. From that country they could ask to go to South Korea. "They were arrested by the Chinese police inside Mongolia," said the mother, who has four other children hiding with her and her husband in Yanji, in the heart of northeastern China's large ethnic Korean community, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the Tumen River, which is the border. "They were caught right after telephoning us." Now the brothers' parents are attempting to find enough money, about $600, to bribe the Chinese prison guards and get them out. Otherwise, said their mother, "they will be sent back to North Korea and executed."

'My what a pretty pink sweater she is wearing. Don't you just love 'individualism' and 'freedom'?? /sarc
This is not true. Once in Korea, N. Korean refuges are not deported back to China. Even if they sneak in illegally, it is politically impossible to turn them back, once the person is identified as the one from N. Korea. On the other hand, there are many ethnic Koreans from NE China who are basically economic migrants. They are more like Mexicans coming to US rather than fleeing totalitarian regime whose population frequently starves. Starvation is no longer a problem in China.
It is true that S. Korea tries to limit the number of incoming N. Korean refuges because it may create a tidal wave of exodus from N. Korea whose regime may lash out militarily and too many refugee in a short time can create social problems. However, I never heard of any news suggesting that S. Korean government will deport N. Korean refugees once they are in S. Korean soil.
You are stretching this little too far here.
For her 'crime' of seeking freedom this young lady's child was taken from her.
And some people keep insisting that Red China is "opening up" to democracy.
Wonderful idea. Thanks. It's easy to overlook such basics.
The VIDEO being shown at length on Japanese TV is even WORSE!! You will not get out of your mind the horrendous wailing by the woman as she shouts to be let inside (where her child has been thrown to the grown). The wailing is disturbing. But she gave a good fight. It took about 2-3 Chinese policeMEN to subdue her. A mother's strength is very strong, we should all keep in mind this Mother's Day.
