in many aspects and enjoying economic benefits

afghanistan held them hostage and killed 2 of them
in exchange for taliban prisoners relase.

Virginia was left in grief after the shooting incident
involving Cho Seung-Hui, 23, a South Korean who was a resident alien in the United States and in his senior year as an English major.lading to a debate about gun law in US

Now the decline of koreans in Yanji, Yanbian China presents
a different story.

A Chinese guard, left, patrolled a border crossing to North Korea near Yanji, China. Increasingly North Koreans have been secretly entering China.


If measured by such indicators as life-expectancy and infant-mortality rates, Koreans are the second-most-prosperous ethnic group in China. Their educational achievements are also well above average.

However, nowadays things are not that rosy - at least if judged from Korean nationalist perspectives. Beginning in the mid-1990s, the ethnic Korean population of Yanbian began to shrink, with its share dropping to 36.3% in 2000 (from 60.2% in 1953), and is still falling.
