Please Stop Doing What You’re Not Doing: “Continuing the administration’s high-wire balancing act yesterday, Unification Minister Chung Dong-young told the Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club that Seoul is still unconvinced by purported evidence that North Korea is counterfeiting U.S. currency. Nevertheless, he said, he had told his counterpart at a North-South ministerial meeting earlier this month that if the North was behind the production of high-quality counterfeit $100 bills, it should stop immediately.”

Chung will soon step down as Anti-Unification Minister to begin his run for the presidency. He is expected to retain his post as North Korea’s Minister for Southern Affairs.
