South Korea Suspends Deployment of U.S. Antimissile System.

1. It spoke of reconciliation. A unification is unforeseeable for now.
2. West Germany destroyed the east´s economy, causing a sharp rise in unemployment. The east´s GNP has still not reached the GDR´s after 27 years of unification. All this while West Germans have to pay for the eastern cities and federal states that use it to decorate the cities and pay civil servants´ salaries.

Methinks 40 or so years of communist ineptitude did more to destroy the East German Economy.
The GDR was one of the 10 wealthiest countries of the world.
The glory days of socialism.

Wrong, what that looks like to me is not a failure of capitalism but instead the failure of local gov't. Most likely a gov't run by democrats. Capitalism offers prosperity, a lot more than any other economic model, but it does not guarantee it.
It is the result of pure capitalism.

Gates Test.

Which way did they go when the wall came down?
 
People risk their lives because their economic conditions suck. Your picture is like the fake vegetable stores we see in photographs if North Korea.

Propaganda, nothing more.
It´s because your Chinese flatscreen makes up your entire furniture.

Economy of the German Democratic Republic - Wikipedia

Mnes actually South Korean.

The biggest issue the Communist economies had was that they lied to themselves.
What does that mean?

My TV was made in South Korea.

And if the GDR's economy was so great, why did it collapse?

Granted it wasn't as bad as the Russians, but it was till way behind the West German economy.
It didn´t collapse. But it may have in the future. However, the new Germany didn´t take the opportunity to invest in existing GDR companies. Computer-production, ect. The GDR lacked of cash and often the possibility to invest and buy foreign technology - that the new Germany had but they refused and destroyed all the GDR´s achievements.
Why does a government need to invest in a private company? Ya Commie, capitalism weeded the morons out.

The GDR's technology was like most Eastern Bloc technology, 20 years or so behind the West. It was just better made Kludge because, well, Germans. Why invest in technology that has already been surpassed?

20 years is not true. The GDR established its own 32 Bit CPUs. Not as performing as American but with proper investments, Germany could have its own world-leading computer industry. GDR did also produce personal computers and even gaming consoles. Printers were even exported to the USA. By 1984, the GDR gained a foreign trade surplus with the FDR. The government destroyed it all in doing western companies´ bidding.

Sovereignty and even profit. Why can´t a government invest in a company? Are you the clown of billionaires who laugh at you?

Reality. The GDR made 70 % its need of microelectronics, the FRG only 40.

The GDR had to make their own because they had other needs for their own Hard Currency bedsides electronics.

And again, they were 20 years behind the West.

Nope. You have no clue. They were banned from buying western computers. So they stole their technologies and began making their own using reverse-engineering.

So they were so technologically advanced they had to steal western stuff and make crappy copies?

LOL.
