    Why don't you read the book, investigate the citations and claims, and report back on whether the text is fabricated?

    Whether or not the writer has a connection to China or the DPRK doesn't actually impact the soundness of any claim. If anything, you are taking an extreme position about academic authority that isn't reflective of reality. You should use your critical thinking skills to assess the claims in the book instead of attacking the author because they might be a Korean or Chinese national. It is kinda racist to assume someone from China or Pyongyang are unable to write on these topics without it being "propaganda"

      Exactly how many times has the US lied to us? You expect me to to belive the country that said Iraq had WMD when they say anything? When they brag about lying all the time?

        Ok, I know they were lying about the WMDs, and the Nayirah testimony, and the gulf of Tonkin, and the sinking of the USS Maine, and about Cuba, the USSR and all of their enemies throughout history, but they're telling the truth this time!

      Don't you know? If a source comes for CHYNA or NORF COURIER it is automatically fake and lies. Automatically. If Xi Jinping said the moon is real, it would instantly pop out of existence.
