"Your evidence is overwhelming, so I will point out what I don't like about one source, ignore all others, and then try to use whataboutism to further bury myself in this hole I've created ."

The same thing that's made china not have an overt military conflict for the past half century: they're not a militaristic, expansionist country.

Uh..

The Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia all disagree..

India disagrees.

Nepal disagrees.

Bhutan disagrees.

I could keep going but my train is almost at my stop. China tries their best to keep their conflicts on the quiet-side to prevent sanctions like the west did to Russia.

Other than this extremist, right leaning news source, no.

But I do recall it being all over reddit at the time.

Just remember that during the 2016 election, the "If not Bernie, then Trump" bros turned out to be Russian interference.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Russia trying to split the Dem base.

Sometimes location services uses your Internet connection to figure out where you are. Imagine you're deep in a corporate building. GPS wouldn't work in there. In this case, IP-based location services to the rescue!

I speak Portuguese. I don't need a translator. In the video he stated most people at the train station are tourists and very few are Koreans going to China to work.

He also mentioned not being allowed to take photos of anything/anyone involved in the military and being that they're everywhere, most places couldn't be photographed.

I'm also Brazilian. I visited a military base in Brazil and took multiple photos and videos without having to hide it. Korea is not a free country.

This video also fails to show the parts of North Korea that hasn't been specifically polished for tourists to see. If you want the true Korean experience, don't take it from a polished North Korean tour experience. Take it from a North Korean refugee. There's many videos, interviews, and books for you to read. Your English seems good enough.
