Is GERMAN REUNIFICATION a model for the KOREAS? - VisualPolitik EN - Duration: 14:21.

Here's the question everybody's been wondering for the past few days: what would happen if both

North Korea and South Korea merged into a one single nation?

Yes, I know this isn't something that should happen in the near future.

But it certainly is a

possibility--and one that might happen sooner than we expect.

Just one year ago, nobody would have predicted that now, in spring 2018, Kim Jong-un would

shake hands

with the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in.

So what would a Korean reunification would look like?

The truth is, there is a historical precedent for

all of this.

Yes, my dear viewers, I'm talking about the GERMAN reunification.

As you may remember, Germany used to be divided into two blocs: the Eastern bloc, with a socialist

regime

and the Western bloc, with a capitalist system.

Then the Berlin wall came down and East Germany got absorbed by West Germany.

Since then, the Government

has spent lots of money so that Eastern Germans can enjoy a similar lifestyle to the wealthier

Western

Germans.

Many experts consider this as a success story.

Some of them claim that this could be a model for a

would-be integration of North and South Korea.

Think about it.

In both cases there's capitalist and socialist section.

In both cases, one of the sides

is poor while the other is much wealthier.

And in both cases, they share a common language, history and

culture.

But now the question is… was the German reunification as successful as it looks on

paper?

Can we say

Eastern Germans today are doing as well as their Western neighbors?

Well, the answer is… no.

Even in soccer, we can see small differences.

Since Germany was reunited there

have been no eastern teams in the Bundesliga since 2009.

The western teams still dominate the national

sport.

The same applies to economics.

But where the differences turn more scary is when we talk about politics.

For example, in the latest election, the radical rightwing AfD has entered the parliament as

the third-

largest party.

This radical, anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic party has gained the majority of its votes

in

the regions of the former East Germany.

This marked the first time since 1961 that a far-right party has had this kind of presence

in parliament.

And that, dear viewers, is frightening.

'Revenge of the East'?

How anger in the former GDR helped the AfD

So, the real question here is: is the process of reunification done?

What can we learn from Germany that

could be applied to North and South Korea?

Today we're going to answer this question but first, let's take a look back at history.

TO THE VICTORS GO THE SPOILS After its unconditional surrender, the Allies

divided Germany into four military occupation zones –

Britain in the northwest, France in the southwest, the USA in the south and the Soviet Union

in the east.

There's so much more to be said about this but we're not going to go into every little

detail, because if

we did, you'd be staring at my face for a couple of hours!!

… but suffice it to say that from 1949, Germany was transformed into two different

countries: West

Germany, officially known as the Federal Republic of Germany, with Bonn as its capital, and

East Germany,

whose official name was the Democratic Republic of Germany, with its capital in East Berlin.

So East Germany was the communist region while West Germany became the embodiment of its

capitalist

occupants.

While West Berlin started to look more and more like a big city would in the United States,

East Berlin

became Moscow's carbon copy.

According to East Germany's first constitution, its citizens enjoyed certain basic rights,

even the right

to strike.

In reality, however, there was little freedom.

All policy-related matters were decided by the Politburo, the executive committee of

the Socialist Unity

Party.

And the main and, almost, the only source of information in the country was directly

financed by

the only party.

Here you can see an example of how ´unbiased´ it was.

New Germany.

Central organ of the socialist unity party.

Celebrating 100 years of Communist Manifesto.

Eastern Germany's economy, as you may have already guessed, was centrally planned and

almost completely

owned by the state.

The central government set the prices of housing, basic goods and even services.

So, basically, every year the government would publish a list with the mandatory prices of

every basic

good you wanted to buy.

A bread roll?

5 marks, 1000 marks for a Sony Walkman and so on and so forth.

Even if you had the money, there were waiting lists in place for goods like cars and electronics...

would

you like having to wait 10 years for a Trabant car?

Take the unemployment generated by the strict price-control, take all those empty supermarkets,

take the

scarcity of primary basic goods, pair those elements with a low birth rate …aaand what

do you get??

You

get lots and lots of people wanting to escape East Germany.

So, what did the Eastern German government do?

Well.. they.. built a wall to stop people from leaving the

country.

In order to justify this move, the official state propaganda claimed that they would build

the wall to

protect their country from 'FASCIST infiltration'.

But the actual reason was exactly the opposite.

As you can imagine, what with having a literal wall between them, the relationship between

East and West

Germany was not exactly friendly.

In fact, West Germany didn't even recognize the Eastern Government because they claimed

to be the only

legitimate state for all Germans.

And the East did the same thing.

Does that remind you of something?

Yes, this is, more or less, the same relationship that the Koreas had

with each other, although in the German case there were no nuclear bombs involved.

And just like North and South Korea are reaching an agreement, East and West Germany normalized

their

relations in the 70's.

But the real twist in history came in the year 1989.

At the beginning of 1989, almost no one could have anticipated that the 40th anniversary

of the GDR would

also be its last and that Germany would be reunited once more.

But then, history found a way to surprise

us all.

The speed at which these changes occurred was astounding: only ten months after the

fall of the Wall,

East and West Germany would become a one single nation.

''The new Germany is here,'' Secretary of State James A. Baker 3d said.

''Let our legacy be that after 45

years, we finally got the political arithmetic right.

Two plus four adds up to one Germany in a Europe

whole and free.''

But make no mistake, this was not a merger between two countries.

This was a complete absorption.

Basically, on October 3rd, 1990, East Germany disappeared as an independent country and

became part of

West Germany.

And this was definitely a good move.

But, it has some downsides.

REUNITED AT LAST So the two states were one once more, but

not everything was sunshine and rainbows.

While West Germany was extremely wealthy, had high productivity and was very industrialized,

East Germany

was the opposite: the soviet-controlled state had lower productivity, less wealth and a

totally different

political system.

Again, this was a very similar starting point to that of North and South Korea,

although less extreme.

For the process to be successful, the two states needed to somehow find a way to unify

these two

completely different structures.

So what did they do?

Well, basically, West Germany exported all their laws, taxes and regulations to East

Germany.

In exchange, they also took care of all the infrastructure costs: this means that the

Western taxpayers

would pay for the highways, railroads and streets of Eastern Germany.

And I know what you might be thinking now… it sounds fair, right?

If you wanna join your poorer neighbour

to create a bigger country, you have to help them recover.

But… economy is way more complicated than just

pouring money where it's needed.

Basically, this reunification meant the total collapse of the whole Eastern Economy.

Why?

Well, think

about it!

Having a single country means having a single market, too.

A single market where Western companies were

several times more productive than the Eastern ones.

So, again, Eastern factories could not compete.

For example, East Germany produced the famous TRABANT

car.

Compared with a BMW or an Audi, a Trabant is just a toy.

So the demand for these cars just dropped

by the day.

Many refugees hoping to settle in the west dump their communist built vehicles near the

West Germany

embassy in Prague.

So imagine the situation: you work in a Trabant factory, but the company has to close because

nobody buys

their cars.

Then again, you go to the supermarket and everything you want to buy is produced in

the West

because they have the best factories.

But, then again, everything is more and more expensive because…

Surprise!

All of a sudden, you live in a

rich country with high prices.

And this isn't the end of the story!

Imagine that you're an old man in the East and you get a pension

that's calculated based on the prices during communist times.

But now it's 1990, and you go to the

supermarket and the bread has a Western price, which is triple… well... you see where I'm

going with

this.

Young people at least could emigrate, and believe me, they did.

But what could the elderly do?

And hold on just a second because on the top of all that we had the currency exchanges!

You see, the two countries had different currencies, with different values.

So, how did they make it

work?

The finance ministers of Eastern and Western Germany met in a room and decided a fixed

exchange

rate between the West German mark and the East German Mark.

The public demanded a one to one exchange and on July 1, 1990 the banks in the former

Eastern Germany

provided people with the unbelievable exchange rate of "1:1" *do quote marks with hands*.

I say this with quote marks because… the theory was one thing, and reality was another.

Most of the banks

would sell you one western mark for 2 eastern ones.

This is an exchange rate of 2 to 1.

And on the black

market, that exchange rate would range anywhere from 8 to 1 to 12 to 1.

So from one day to the next, all the money that you had in your savings would lose more

than half of its

value.

So now you might wonder…

How did the German government manage this situation?

Well, the answer is:

subsidies, subsidies, and more subsidies.

West Germany taxpayers paid medical bills, infrastructure, and was doing everything it

could to prevent

Eastern Germans from migrating.

We're talking about almost 70 billion US dollars every year since 1990…

That is the equivalent of organizing 4 Olympic games every year.

So I know what you're wondering now… after almost 30 years… is the reunification process

done?

Can we say

Germany is an equal country?

Well, my dear viewers, the answer is yes… and no.

TOGETHER BUT NOT MIXED According to one study, a good share of Germans

state that they wouldn't marry somebody from the 'other'

Germany.

Three Quarters of the German population think there are still different mentalities between

East

and West.

And 10 percent of Eastern Germans have never once travelled to the other side.

And, of course, there are still differences in economic terms, if you look at this chart,

you will see

that, at the time of the reunification the GDP per capita in the East was 9400€, as

opposed to 22000€ in

the West.

Today it's 27.000 € and 41.000 €. Yes, the differences are more subtle but nobody

can seriously

claim there are no differences.

And, of course, we still have the cultural differences.

A research study by Jacob University in Bremen

measured community spirit considering a number of factors, including trust in institutions

and tolerance

towards the LGBTQ community and ethnic minorities.

All the regions that once made up East Germany

appeared in the bottom half of the index.

And, finally, we have the political differences that we can see in the latest elections.

Eastern Germans

voted for AfD, a far right wing party, and Die Linke, a far left wing party, while Western

Germans chose

more moderate candidates.

This divide in the polls shows how, still to this day, Eastern Germans are

heavily influenced by Russian politics.

This is important because one day, Eastern Germans could hijack

German politics and destroy that sense of German moderation.

Going back to the Korean case, imagine what would happen if North Koreans would kept voting

for communist

parties.

So, all of a sudden, you had a leader like Kim Jong-un making decisions that also affected

the

South Koreans.

Sounds scary, right?

Of course, there are many bright sides to the German reunification.

And, as we've mentioned in many of

our videos here at VisualPolitik, Germany is still a model for other countries.

But, as we always say,

not everything is perfect.

And if there has to be a Korean reunification one day, it will not come

without risks.

So now it's your turn…

Could the Eastern Germans radicalize the political debate in Germany?

Do you still

feel that German reunification should be a model for the Korean peninsula?

North Korea's Diplomat and Spymaster: Who Is Kim Yong-chol? | NYT News - Duration: 1:51.

You may have never heard of Kim Yong-chol.

But you've probably seen him before.

Here he is sitting next to Ivanka Trump

at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Here, with the North Korean leader

at the inter-Korean summit in April.

Here, leading a delegation to South Korea

during military talks in 2007.

Here, with Kim Jong-il.

And here, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

in Pyongyang in May.

The former head of North Korea's spy agency

is said to be one of Kim Jong-un's closest aides.

He worked for all three leaders of the Kim dynasty,

and is one of its longest- serving senior officials.

But he has a controversial past.

He's still on sanctions lists in South Korea and the United States.

South Korea accuses Kim Yong-chol

of being involved in several high-profile attacks.

He was allegedly behind the sinking

of a South Korean naval ship in 2010

that killed 46 sailors,

and of masterminding an attack

on a South Korean island the same year.

Under his leadership, North Korea's spy agency

was suspected by the U.S. of launching a cyberattack

against Sony Pictures in 2014.

It apparently was in retaliation

to the film "The Interview," which mocked Kim Jong-un.

"I don't need my father."

Kim Yong-chol is also no stranger to nuclear diplomacy.

He's been involved in various rounds of negotiations

to limit North Korea's nuclear weapons.

This week, he became the highest-ranking

North Korean official to visit the United States since 2000.

¡The Soraya es tu Casa! (The Soraya is your home!) - Duration: 2:13.

The Soraya, to me, is the bridge between the community members, our cultures, our

histories and what we aim to accomplish here at the University in a holistic

education. The Soraya to me means unity, an opportunity to not only go to school but

have a working career, and more time on campus. It really makes you proud to be a

CSUN alumni. The Soraya to me means inclusion. With everybody coming in and

everybody who's on the stage--when I come here, I know I can feel myself being

represented like here and onstage.

I have been very fortunate to perform in dozens of the most beautiful theaters in

the world and this is just amazing. It's not only architecturally beautiful,

but the stage is-- it's, it's beautiful to sing on that stage, the acoustics are

perfect, the house is perfect. It's an intimate theater and yet there's so

many people in it. It was just amazing, wonderful.

You know the dreamers are real people who are going through incredibly

challenging, fearful times and so for them to be able to see this story and I

think to feel how many people are for them and behind them and supporting them.

US admiral says China is Asia's biggest long-term threat - Duration: 7:14.

US admiral says China is Asia's biggest long-term threat

    (CNN)The US admiral expected to become the countrys next ambassador to South Korea says North Korea remains the most imminent threat to peace in the Pacific but Chinas dream of hegemony is Washingtons biggest long-term challenge.

Adm.

Harry Harris spoke Wednesday as he turned over the reins of the US Pacific Command to Adm.

Phil Davidson at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in a ceremony that also announced the rebranding of US military assets in the region to the US Indo-Pacific Command.

Harris, who has been at the helm of the most expansive US military command for three years, hammered home points hes made repeatedly during his term.

    Adm.

Phil Davidson, left, relieves Adm.

Harry Harris, right, as commander of US Indo-Pacific Command during a ceremony at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Wednesday.

North Korea remains our most imminent threat and a nuclear-capable North Korea with missiles that can reach the United States is unacceptable, he said.

However he added, China remains our biggest long-term challenge.

Without focused involvement and engagement by the United States and our allies and partners China will realize its dream of hegemony in Asia.   Read More Responding to Harriss comments Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the admiral was obsessed with hegemony because he fears others are trying to steal it from the US.

The US military presence in the South China Sea far exceeds the total of China and other coastal countries, Hua said, calling US accusations of militarization like a thief crying, Stop, thief! Chinas deployments and building programs in the South China Sea are part of its self-defense, Hua added.

Harris spoke alongside US Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who stopped off in Hawaii on his way to Singapore for a high-profile security forum, where issues relating to the South China Sea and North Korea will be discussed.

It is unclear what role Harris will play in talks with Pyongyang leading up to a hoped-for summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12.

Harris nomination went to the Senate on May 18 ahead of his expected confirmation.

  US rebrands Pacific command amid tensions with China The admiral had been Trumps choice for to fill the vacant ambassador post in Australia, but that nomination was pulled hours before his confirmation hearing in April.

Sources told CNN at the time that the move was the idea of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has been instrumental in laying the groundwork for a Trump-Kim summit.

While Harris has always been a hawk on North Korea during his term at Pacific Command, he has also issued warnings on China as Beijing has pursued a more muscular military posture in the Pacific and established a military presence on man-made islands in areas the US and its allies contend are international waters.

Harris was still in charge of Pacific Command last week when it pulled an invitation for China to participate in the 2018 Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) military exercise, the worlds largest international maritime warfare exercise.

US officials said that decision was made after Beijings recent deployment of missile systems and the first landing of a Chinese bomber on an island in the South China Sea.

  US plans steady drumbeat of exercises in South China Sea, Mattis says Standing alongside Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at a news conference in Washington on May 23, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called the US decision unhelpful. We find that a very unconstructive move.

Its unhelpful to mutual understanding between China and the US.

We hope the US will change such a negative mindset, he said.

In Hawaii Wednesday, Mattis said, we should cooperate with Beijing where we can but stand ready to confront them where we must. Harris also warned his successors to keep an eye on Moscow, saying Russia is trying to act as the spoiler in the Indo-Pacific.

A geopolitical competition between free and repressive visions of world order is taking place in the Indo-Pacific, Harris said.

Great power competition is back and I believe were approaching an inflection point in history.

Freedom and justice hang in the balance. CNNs Tim Schwarz contributed to this report.

Barcelona linked Frenchman Is Prepared To Wait Before Sealing Move ● News Now transfer ● #FCB - Duration: 2:07.

Ernesto Valverde's Spanish Champions Barcelona have reportedly been in the market for a new

centre-half, with the Columbian Yerry Mina struggling to adjust to life at the Camp Nou

since his January transfer.

It's a Frenchman, Sevilla's Clement Lenglet, that has been most heavily linked with a move

to the club.

The 22-year-old has been an ever-present for Los Rojiblancos this term, playing a remarkable

47 times in all competitions since his €5M from Nancy.

Reports a number of days ago suggested a deal to bring a player brimming with potential

to the Camp Nou was near.

But Samuel Umtiti might have to wait to have his countryman line up beside him after a

change of staff at Sevilla.

The Andalusian side have just appointed a new head coach in Pablo Machin, who had last

worked at Catalan side Girona and that has complicated the situation somewhat.

Gregory Dakad, Lenglet's Agent, has said that his client wishes to speak with Machin

before making any further decisions.

"Lenglet is on vacation and will not decide until he speaks with his new coach," he

told local sports daily Estadio Deportivo.

"There is no news.

The idea remains the same and we want to respect Sevilla."

A public show of patience from his camp, the likes of which is rare in the modern day,

might just be a sign that the French U-21 international, might just suggest that the

young defender has the right temperament to succeed in the pressure cooker that is the

Camp Nou.

Telltale wart proves Francis Drake portrait is authentic - Duration: 4:25.

Telltale wart proves Francis Drake portrait is authentic

Authenticating paintings is no easy task.

At times, it requires forensic specialists, academics, high courts and millions worth of legal fees.

But for a portrait of Sir Francis Drake, proof of authenticity required a wart.

Several top experts reviewed the painting, which is set to go on auction in early July.

Among other features, they examined Drakes clothes, his hair and his eyes, according to Andrew McKenzie, head of Old Masters Paintings at Bonhams, the auction house selling the portrait of the privateer ennobled by Queen Elizabeth I.

  Inside Westminster Abbeys $30M secret attic.

But it was the wart that clenched it, McKenzie said.

The wart, which is located on the top of Drakes nose, is absent in copies of other authentic portraits of Drake, said McKenzie.

The painting, which is expected to fetch between £300,000 and £500,000, ($400,000 to $650,000) will lead the Old Masters sale at Bonhams in London on July 4.

The portrait previously hung on the walls of Buckland Abbey, Drakes former home.

Its fitting that something as lowly as a wart verified the originality of the painting.

Though Drake became a prominent member of British society, he began life as a humble farmer, a social ascent that conflicted with some of the elite of the era, according to Bonhams.

Referencing Drake, a 1952 letter to King Phillip II says : The people of quality dislike him for having risen so high from such a lowly family; the rest say he is the main cause of wars.

The portrait -- whose creator is unknown -- dates from the mid-1570s, before Drake became the first Englishman to sail around the world and before he led the British navys defense against the Spanish Armada.

It portrays Drake as a man of strength and high social standing, adorned in expensive armor.

The portrait of Sir Francis Drake is a national treasure, capturing perfectly a brief moment in the history of one of our most renowned seamen, said McKenzie.
