When there's only about one country in the world that will even speak to you, is it really a good idea to capture some of their fishing boats and hold the crews hostage?
BEIJING — A North Korean boat hijacked three boats with 29 Chinese fishermen on board and demanded 1.2 million yuan ($190,000) for their release, Chinese media reported Thursday.
China is the North’s biggest diplomatic ally and source of economic assistance.
Clearly, North Korea is run by Democrats.
