If America would withdraw from South Korea, there could be a power struggle between such as China and Japan.

So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

So if North Korea continues present isolation, then with such economic difficulties the North Korean government must meet a very serious situation in the future.

So such an American troops presence in Korea in the South and Japan, total some 100,000 should stay there forever, even after unification of Korean peninsula.

You know, North Korea situation is far worse than East Germany, and South Korea is weaker than West Germany.

So South Korean ability is very much limited to handle North Korean, you know, difficulties. So we don't want to see an immediate collapse of the North Korea regime.

Well, that is very imperative to let North Korea open door to outside.
