North Korea to align with South's time zone as first practical step toward reconciliation

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea will shift its time zone 30 minutes earlier to align with South Korea starting May 5 “as a first practical step for national reconciliation and unity,” the North’s state media said Monday.

It might not sound like much, but that is a significant concession.

I wonder how the old bag will report it.

Expecting a firm Korean patriarchal union?

Nobody here knows "it all", especially 'arry. We all have room for peoples opinions and rebut them is so inclined, some also point out the shallowness or yours.

Japan already has intercontinental missiles, they can launch into space.They already have the ability to produce most nuclear weapon products. They could I believe, if they wanted too, have a nuclear deterrent very quickly.

The DPRK alleged nuclear deterrent is the thing which has made all take notice. The ROK president is the game changer. Until he arrived there has been no movement towards a Korean solution. Maybe the prize is his and the DPRK's Great Leader to share. The blonde buffoon is a bystander reacting to others moves, as usual.

Care to let us know what your evidence is, that China is on the blonde buffoon's side?

Presumably it will be the UN, not sure who speaks for the UN, The DPRK, China and ROK who will sign the peace treaty then?

What do you see are the Chinese "concerns"?

DPRK moving away from the China's influence.

Kim Il Sung's game was to play USSR against the PRC to get bread and guns, maybe the same game just different players. I really don't think fatties gestures are genuine.

I don't know but agree, the UN will have to lead.

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well, one of my good friends went there twice 3 years ago, spy cammed his immigration/customs ordeal, got wasted on soju and weed with his govt. minders and banged a buncha' N. Korean karaoke girlz,....well, ok - he paid for the pvssy - but I'm sure he has some good intel.

The US, China and North Korea signed the Armistice; South Korea refused.

All four would need to negotiate a formal Peace Treaty. Also, it would be nice if the US formally recognised North Korea, although it has implicitly done so by not vetoing the relevant UN declaration of NK as a member.

Then there is the small matter of restoring diplomatic relations.

But none of these are real dealbreakers IMHO.

Well shucks.

time to liven things up this thread.

obama got a nobel peace prize before bombing libya and putting spooks into syria to support the terrorists fighting assad (causing a civil war that has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions).

Trump Should Win The Nobel Peace Prize, South Korea's Moon Says


NPR's Korean interpreter Se Eun Gong translates the quote from the original Korean as, "It's President Trump who should receive the Nobel Prize. We only need to take peace."

ameristan acted for the UN, then from a more powerful position, than now. I suspect a unanimous vote from the UNSC will be called for to legalise the situation this time.

You know to add some strength to any treaty, rather than relying on an amerstani, here today gone tomorrow, bought and paid for, clique.

My apologise I was just "sexing up" my reply for my amusement.

Now, for clarity, how or why do you believe DPRK would want to move away from "China's influence"?

Currently the have a mutual defence agreement, wouldn't that be worth keeping? China has some recent experience of raising millions of it's citizens out of poverty, is that not something that DPRK needs assistance with? China also has oodles of cash wanting a productive role, a useful tool for DPRK to utilise?
