For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

a great way to get involved

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il dies aged 69 after heart attack

Kim's death was announced on Monday by the state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.

Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but he had appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media. The communist country's "Dear Leader" - reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine - was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

Can you talk about the DPRK on the Chinese web? Sure ... as long as you sing almighty praises and put the recently departed up on the highest pedestal you can reach.

The new leader, his son,  has been described as a complete fool, power greedy, unscrupulous dictator.

2012 will be rich of news........

Both North and South are at heightened alerts. Let's hope somebody has a brain cell or two and doesn't do anything stupid.
