South Korea is an American vassal state. South Korea’s military is fully under the control of the US military. I know of no other purportedly sovereign country with such a setup.

South Korea is a democracy and North Korea is an authoritarian dictatorship.
You’re tankie scum if you think the North is better.
Oh, the old “make the trains run on time” has come back in use?
Jokes aside, the CCP push for infrastructure investment in both renewables, public mass transportation is enviable, but also it comes with a cost:

Yes but that wasn’t the argument
