About the National Unification Advisory Council
The National Unification Advisory Council (NUAC) was established in July 1983 to enable and foster an amicable relationship between South and North Korea. With the support of fifteen chapters totaling over 1200 members located in the United States, in addition to other chapters throughout the globe, NUAC strives to reach a consensus on the topic of peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula based on the opinions of Koreans worldwide. In order to highlight awareness of this matter and encourage action, there are many initiatives in progress towards the achievement of this ultimate goal. Located in the capital of the US, the Washington, DC Chapter of NUAC is leading the way in promoting awareness and spurring discussion of the issue of peaceful Korean reunification.

=========================
DO -
stayed there for abt an hour.
Michael Horowitz's speech was interesting, as it was at testimony on the Hill.
Without
China, the North will collapse within 15 minutes.
How
to move China? Should move the US. How? Korean community is the right actor in
shifting the US policy on China. E.g. go to Congress and say to Republicans, “if
you do not push China, we will be Democrat.” Do the same thing o the Democrats. That was how Israeli and South African communities in the US did to push or shove the US.
Korean
politicians and businessmen, when over to the US, go to White House or State
Dept to earn relationship. But Israeli politicians go to Israeli community in
the US to support them in pushing the US government.
--------------------
Fair
point.
What
is lacking in the discussion is the aftermath of collapse. In discussing the way
of bringing down Kim’ regime, we should incorporate the way of addressing
aftermath of the collapse into the strategies. The collapse itself is not at
all the end of the game.
