...regarded him as an imperial figure. Zhou's guiding philosophy might have been taken from the Confucian Analects: "If the emperor asks you to die, you should die." And, indeed, Mao apparently asked no less. Gao confirms an assertion made in Mao: The Unknown Story, the 2005 biography by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, that Mao purposefully denied Zhou medical care for the cancer that ultimately killed him. Gao even suggests that Mao may have ordered fireworks to celebrate his Premier's demise...

The Kaesong park - where South Korean light manufacturing plants employ North Korean workers - is one of the few lasting achievements to come out of that meeting. After Kim Dae Jung's term ended in year 2003, an investigation revealed that his chief aide had made off-the-books payments...
