Japan has decided to allow North Korean athletes and officials to enter the country for the 2017 Sapporo Asian Winter Games later this month despite an ongoing ban on entry for North Korean citizens, government sources said Sunday.
Immanuel Kant once noted that "The pursuit of permanent peace is not only the ultimate goal of rationality, it is also a moral obligation." China claims to be a "responsible power", thus it should not serve as an enabler for North Korea’s militarism. The US should support Taiwan and help shoulder the burden of saving democracy by leading China to democratization, to be followed in turn by North Korea. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
