North Korea, a "Thief of the World"?

  I feel sorry to put the title like this, as I believe the majority of North Korean people are honest and sincere, but since recently the country being faced with multiple sanctions, the government has started to seek income by unlawful means such as stealing from foreign banks.

  In recent years, North Korean government has stolen 80 million USD from Bangladesh national bank, 60 million USD from Taiwan, and more from national banks of Mexico and Poland. Moreover, North Korea has also carried out massive hackings of computers in big institutions worldwide. From these facts, we can state that the North Korean regime is indeed a "Thief of the World".

  For sure the "strong players" in UN may also have a responsibility in this situation, such as Western allies fail to solve the threat in peaceful ways, and Communist and Socialist allies only blaming the West for the escalation of treating rather than trying to solve the problem together.

  From the previous post, we learn that North Korea's economy has failed because of its own multiple errors from the past, and the recent crimes can also be attributed to this. So why aren't there anyone to assist the country transforming into good status economically and socially, but only observing the worsening government and global situation? Sanctions as a solution? No. It alone cannot shut the belligerence of the regime, but only to bring more negative effects. Maybe it's time for multilateral Discussion, and solve the problem with Words rather than fists. Today is Diwali, a Hindu festival celebrating light, to chase away darkness and evil. May there be more light in North Korea too.
