North Korea rejects AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines over blood clot concerns https://www.rt.com/news/528776-pyongyang-rejects-astrazeneca-covid-19/ North Korea has canceled shipments of Oxford’s AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine that were due to arrive in the country through the Covax program, citing concerns over potentially fatal, but rare, side effects.
A report from the Institute for National Security Strategy (INSS), a South Korean think tank that works closely with the country’s spy unit, has revealed that neighboring North Korea has rejected the import of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines due to concerns over a few cases of blood clotting in people following inoculation.
The intelligence information detailed that the hermit kingdom was due to receive some 2 million doses of Oxford’s vaccine in May through the Covax scheme. However, the process had been delayed due to North Korean concerns over the vaccine’s safety, as well as worldwide shortages because of India’s vaccine export ban.
Covax, led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, Gavi, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, was designed to alleviate vaccine inequity by donating vaccines to countries that cannot afford to produce or procure high volumes of shots.

Leaders of DPRK, China vow greater cooperation in face of foreign hostility. In a message to China's Xi Jinping, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said their relationship is vital in the face of hostile foreign forces, while Xi promised to bring cooperation "to a new stage", KCNA said.
China has been North Korea's only major ally since the two signed the treaty in 1961, and international sanctions imposed over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes have made it more dependent than ever on Beijing for trade and other support.
"Despite the unprecedentedly complicated international situation in recent years the comradely trust and militant friendship between the DPRK and China get stronger day by day," Kim said in his message, KCNA reported, using the initials for North Korea's official name.
The treaty is defending socialism and peace in Asia "now that the hostile forces become more desperate in their challenge and obstructive moves," Kim said.
Xi's message said he plans to provide greater happiness to the two countries and their people by strengthening communication with Kim and "by steadily leading the relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries to a new stage," KCNA said.

If they had hindsight they'd suddenly lose their main trade partner and supplier of fuel which would result in a near-total collapse of their state sector economy (it still hasn't recovered today from its peak in 1990), a long-term famine and have to deal with the prospect they may soon be invaded by USA, ROK and Japan if they don't make a nuclear deterrent, they obviously wouldn't have built an overambitious skyscraper hotel meant to impress tourists mainly from the USSR, Eastern Bloc, Yugoslavia, China and neutral countries.

Speaking of hotels and touring and such, what hotels in Pyongyang are recommended? And what tour groups? I've been long thinking of one day taking a tour there with some friends of mine or maybe a leftypol dedicated group, but it's hard to know what to use. I know the Koryogroup seems to be the most popular, but apparently the Korean Friendship Association offers tours as well.

Ergo, there is no way to know how the economy is doing since at least 1975, if not in the mid 60s.
My guess is it has recovered and surpassed whatever level it was in 1989 in real gdp per capita terms, but its just a guess like everybody else. I also guess that the structure of the output has shifted a bit towards services and some raw materials.

Did you uyghas know about this? Just learned about this event only a few days ago, insane shit tbh>On August 18, 1976, a group of five Korean Service Corps (KSC) personnel escorted by a UNC security team consisting of Captain Arthur Bonifas, his South Korean Army counterpart, Captain Kim, the platoon leader of the current platoon in the area (First Lieutenant Mark Barrett), and 11 enlisted personnel, both American and South Korean,[3] went into the JSA to prune the tree. >Bonifas was knocked to the ground by Pak and then bludgeoned to death by at least five North Koreans, and Barrett jumped over a low wall that led past a 4.5-metre (15 ft) deep tree-filled depression just across the road from the tree. The depression was not visible from the road because of the dense grass and small trees. The entire fight lasted for only 20 to 30 seconds before the UNC force dispersed the North Korean guards and placed Bonifas's body in their truck.[6] There was no sign of Barrett, and the two UNC guards at OP No. 5 could not see him.

>>404984 I think I'm in the same mindset as Laibach (maybe). They performed in North Korea, which is not something that would be allowed to happen if they went there to "troll" them or something which is kinda how it was described by some media. I don't think that's true whatsoever.
I think the "joke" from their videos about North Korea is really at the West's expense. By contrast, an "ironic" satire of North Korea was the movie "The Interview" which ended with the main characters blowing up Kim Jong Un with a tank. And then some neocons tried to send DVD copies of the movie into the DPRK via balloon like that will convince people to overthrow their government. And that just tells you everything. The West will make jokes and treat the whole situation as a big farce, but underneath, the West is serious about destroying their country and killing their leader. And that's not a joke. So, the conclusion to draw from this is that the West is like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Or seeing the DPRK as a "problem" to be solved, which makes you wonder whether North Koreans see themselves as a "problem."
They're human beings for Christ's sake.
Also if you've read interviews with the band about their visit there, it's very different. They don't endorse the political system, but they're not "against" it really. I think it's just not anyone's place to decide that except for the Korean people. And I think their videos from there poked a little hole in the Western ideology bubble and looking at the people and showing their humanity (instead of dehumanizing them as "brainwashed automatons" or whatever). This is what they told Rolling Stone:

Today, on
reddit , it was claimed that the North Korean government "refuses to accept aid from South Korea during a food shortage". I was immediately sceptical because I knew they have accepted South Korean aid before. Turns out, the "aid" is not coming from the South Korean government, but from a sketchy private organization backed by conservatives and religious cults called the
Korean Sharing Movement . And it is in no way just offering donations! They want something in return, for example, they want their books being published in the North. Here is an account by someone criticizing this who is in no way sympathetic to the DPRK:

It coincided with the shift towards becoming an internet personality with her own YouTube channel who now visits right-wing podcasts and becomes part of the right-wing internet eco system. The fact that the algorithm promotes her so much also lets me suspect that she is probably backed by some conservative organization in South Korea or something similar.

https://www.nknews.org/2021/07/in-kim-jong-uns-speeches-marx-returns-to-north-korea/ Since the end of the Cold War, the “C” word of communism (공산주의) has rarely been used in official North Korean discourse. The Rodong Sinmun and KCNA have rarely, if ever, highlighted communism as the country’s ruling ideology.
Instead, DPRK publications and leaders’ speeches have used the more general Marxian term of socialism (사회주의).
But in his recent letter to the trade union, Kim used the word “communism” nine times, and his emphasis on “communist traits” in North Korea’s “working class” echoed Kim Il Sung-era doctrine. Echoing Marx’s stages of development, he advocated for the building of a utopian communist society in the DPRK.
“The powerful country, the socialist society, we are aspiring after is a society in which all the people live a comfortable and harmonious life in good health and without any worries about food, clothing and housing,” Kim wrote, “a people-oriented society in which the communist traits and virtues of all the people sharing pleasure and sorrow while helping and leading one another forward.”
North Korea’s revised 2021 ruling party rules, recently revealed in full, also state that the party’s ultimate goal is “to build a communist society where the ideals of the people will be completely realized.” The 2016 rules included no mention of “communism.”

Dismal American Society Where Even Elementary Right to Existence Is Ruthlessly Violated http://www.mfa.gov.kp/en/dismal-american-society-where-even-elementary-right-to-existence-is-ruthlessly-violated/ The United States is obsessing over admonishing other countries, behaving habitually like a “human rights judge.”
Then, what about the human rights situation in the U.S.?
Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their precious lives because the U.S. has not properly responded to COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond this shocking happenings, the living people are wandering in despair and pain without enjoying even the elementary right to existence. This is where the United States stands now.
According to data, 6.5 million families and over 15 million inhabitants in the U.S. are now in the position to be forcibly evicted from their homes for their inability to pay the rents due to the insufficient income caused by COVID-19 pandemic, and this number is projected to further increase over time.
From September last year, the U.S. Administration is said to have taken so-called “eviction moratorium” as a means to prevent the inhabitants – to be evicted due to their inability to pay the rents – from being exposed to the pandemic. However, it has been merely a stopgap measure designed to silence their complaints.
This has been substantiated by the actions taken by the Administration and the Congress following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the Administration has no power to extend the “eviction moratorium” and if extension is needed, the Congress should appropriate additional budget.
The Administration and the Congress busied themselves with shifting responsibilities onto others, with the former insisting that the budgetary matter is within the competence of the Congress and the latter asserting that it hadn’t received notification from the former that the “eviction moratorium” is due to be expired. The emergency meeting of the Congress convened somehow to discuss the extension of “eviction moratorium” degenerated into a fruitless, point-scoring partisan fight.
While the Administration and the Congress were wasting time, the “eviction moratorium” expired, and a number of people at risk of homelessness staged protests.
The U.S. Administration, frightened by the unexpected developments, made a last-ditch attempt to extend the “eviction moratorium” for 60 days to be applicable only to the pandemic-ridden regions. But, a great number of inhabitants without ability to pay the rents are spending every day in worries and panic for fear of unforeseeable eviction.
Notwithstanding this reality, the United States, instead of taking measures to ensure the elementary right of the inhabitants to existence, is engrossed in meddling with others’ internal affairs, impudently poking its nose into human rights situations of other countries.
The international society denounces and derides the reality of the U.S., saying that the U.S. should first remedy its dismal human rights situation before taking up others’ “human rights issue”; there are few countries like the U.S. which carries serious human rights problems; and ensuring human rights in the U.S. is tantamount to building a castle in the air.
Before talking impudently about “human rights issue” of other countries, the U.S. should address the human rights problems of its own society which are daily getting worse owing to its anti-popular policies.

>>522111 Copy posting my response here because it probably should have been in this thread in the first place:
East Asian languages are way more "flowery" than English. South Koreans sound just as crazy if you translate what they're saying directly into English, Anglo MSM makes an effort to "humanize" their speech, ie not just directly translate but translate in such a way that seems sensible in English while deliberately directly translating Korean when spoken by Northerners to make them sound insane.
Same is true of Japanese and Mandarin too. Go to an Asian grocery and look at some of the crazy names they have for products. IE "Supreme soy sauce" or whatever. I once heard that the mandarin term for a ship based cruise missile is "Fire breathing dragon deployed over water" although I'm not sure if that is actually correct or somebody is just making the mistake of directly translating individual Chinese characters which isn't how words are actually spoken there.
This has been a long, weird standing tradition in Western Propaganda. In the past it was a little cruder and more overt, ie inventing the name "Viet Cong" because it sounds scarier than "Viet Minh". Now days they've learned to be more subtle, half truths are more effective than lies in manufacturing consent.
The problem is when western leftists don't understand this and start speaking in weird robotic wizard sounding English mao-speak which just makes you sound like a full blown spastic to anybody whose native language is English. This kind of speak can be good for reinforcing a tight knit high control culture within some kind of political/narcissistic cult, both warping speech to create an insular culture & through trauma bonding as cadre are unable to communicate with outsiders, but it's bad for actually achieving anything like winning over anybody isn't a weird shutin/drug addict/BPD whore or whatever.
The DPRK itself does play into this sometimes though and use it to it's own advantage. Notice how in official DPRK communiques they will translate roughly all political terminology, ie Songun = Military first system. But they never, ever directly translate the word "Juche", which is funny because "Juche" originates not as some indigenous Korean word or a word which Kim Il Sung made up, but as a translation of a fairly "common" word which existed first in English and German but which most people would probably not be able to correctly define in political/philosophical context.

North Korea threatens UN Security Council https://thehill.com/policy/international/asia-pacific/575082-north-korea-threatens-un-security-council North Korea sent a threat to the U.N. Security Council on Sunday, warning the global body against voicing criticisms of its nuclear program.
Senior North Korean Foreign Ministry official Jo Chol Su told the council that it “had better think what consequences it will bring in the future in case it tries to encroach upon the sovereignty" of North Korea, The Associated Press reported.
According a statement circulated by North Korean state media, Jo accused the U.N. Security Council of having a “double-dealing standard” due to it not treating countries like the U.S. and its allies similarly.
North Korea is banned from engaging in ballistic missile activities under numerous U.N. Security Council resolutions, the AP noted. Despite this, the isolated country resumed conducting missile tests in September, sending two missiles off of its west coast. The AP noted that despite these recent provocations, North Korea is maintaining its self-imposed moratorium on long-range missile that could hit the U.S.

<While the regime forces men to work in abusive conditions, often without any pay, the women are left behind with their starving families. Even where the men are paid, the State wage is not liveable or realistic. The regime uses its control over resources, like food, as a weapon to keep its people weak and silent – preoccupied with survival. They are systematically starving their people and any sign of rebellion. <Still, our women persevere. They barter and bargain for food on the black market, notoriously dangerous places for women, that are also illegal in the eyes of the State but overrun by corrupt government officials. They are raped and beaten by guards and market operators. When they return home with bread to feed their families, their husbands – who often turn to alcohol and gambling to cope with their own experiences of labour exploitation and abuse – beat them. Nobody speaks about the violence in their homes. Again, our focus is on the most basic needs of survival. <North Korean women suffer in silence, as they are taught that their only job is to be loyal to the regime and serve their men, consistently reminded that they are the bottom of the value chain. How is any of that valuable
data that you could use for
scoring countries?? Hold on, I just had a feeling and looked at the byline. It's written by Yeonmi

Instead of fundamentally revising what you believe, you then construct a flip-flopping character, flipping back and forth between the shit you got in your head about this place before arriving and what you see actually getting said on here by the regulars.

Dark Society Where Virtue And Affection Are Withering Away http://www.mfa.gov.kp/en/dark-society-where-virtue-and-affection-are-withering-away/ Respecting and taking good care of the elderly and holding them up as seniors of the family and society are noble virtue and universal ethics of human society.
Contrary phenomena, however, are widespread in the Japanese society where the aged are subjected to maltreatment, contempt and abuse, far from receiving deserved attention and care of the family and society. They are thus spending the remaining years of their lives in misery, misfortunes and sufferings, prompting the public astonishment.
According to the related data, nearly 6,500 people aged 65 and over committed suicide in 2018 alone.
It is no mere coincidence that the Japanese media reported that it is becoming a household phrase among the aged that “life in retirement is tantamount to a probationary period.”
A dark society is not something abstract.
It is the society bereft of love, virtue and affection toward humans, where human beings are turning bestial, being reduced to the slaves of capital.

Society Forsaken by People Ruins https://dprktoday.com/abroad/news/30584 The world has long been locked in fierce ideological debates and showdown over the issue of which society represents the future of mankind: socialism or capitalism.
The capitalist production mode by which capitalism has prolonged its days by dint of sweat and blood shed by the people has reached the limit to breathe its last.
As a result, the gap between the rich getting ever richer and the poor getting ever poorer has now become extreme.
Contradiction and antagonism between a tiny handful of the privileged and the popular masses are growing day by day in the capitalist society where the differentiation of society and the gap between the rich and the poor have come to their limits, signaling great social eruption.
The fate of capitalism going downhill is an inevitable result stemming from inhuman and unpopular individualism.
Individualism appeared on the stage of history as the product of outdated social system based on private ownership and as the idea of serving the ruling class who can not exist without exploiting others. It, therefore, makes people extremely self-interested beings and money slaves controlled by material desire.
It is as clear as noonday that in such society each person's dignity and worth can not be respected and the burgeoning distrust, antagonism, hatred and hostile relations would split society and lead it to destruction.
No matter how much the bourgeois advocates try to beautify capitalist society, they can never cover up its reactionary nature that goes against the aspiration and the intrinsic demand of the popular masses.
It is the inevitability of history and a law governing social development that capitalism finds itself falling deeper into the abyss of ruin as it goes fundamentally counter to the independent nature of mankind and mercilessly tramples down the demand of the people for genuine rights and happy life.
Capitalism Has No Future http://rodong.rep.kp/en/index.php?strPageID=SF01_02_01&newsID=2019-12-03-0011 Even though the Western politicians and media under their thumb idealize capitalism, advertising that it is a “typical example” of sustained development and prosperity whenever an opportunity presents itself, they can never cover up the social evils precipitating its ruin.
The gap between the rich and the poor, unemployment, moral decay, etc. are the cancer of capitalism and its fate is destined to sink like a setting sun.
The gap between the rich and the poor, unemployment and moral decay are not a passing phase but the fatal one jolting the root of the capitalist system.
Capitalism has maintained its existence while pretending to be a “model” of economic growth and “modern civilization” but is now driven into a tight corner.
The phenomenon in which the rich get richer and the poor poorer, moral decay, social disintegration and public discontent get more serious and grow larger, driving capitalism into a crisis.
The Western world is making desperate efforts to check the collapse of capitalism but it cannot stop capitalism going downhill with anything.
Capitalism at Its Evening Twilight https://rodong.rep.kp/en/index.php?strPageID=SF01_02_01&newsID=2019-10-07-0006 Advocates of capitalism slander socialism and preach the “eternity” of capitalist society more often than not. But the world sees it festering and falling like the setting sun.
The capitalist society is by no means the utopia of humankind but dark society without future.
Capitalism, fraught with serious contradiction, is doomed to ruin.
Outwardly, the developed capitalist countries seem flourishing but they are in decay due to daily worsening contradiction.
In capitalist society, political life is rendered reactionary and material life deformed.
The corrupt nature of capitalism finds its vivid manifestation in the political life of people.
No genuine political freedom and rights can be found in this society where capitalist class rules everything and the toiling working masses are left out of political life.
A handful of the privileged class holds control of the majority of social assets which are being snowballed each day. On the other hand, the broad toiling masses are exposed to constant worries about job, medical care, housing, food and children’s education.
The moral degeneration of man is the clearest expression of capitalism now at its evening twilight.
The pauperization in spiritual and cultural life and the degeneration of human beings have spiraled beyond control in capitalist society now.
In such a society it is impossible to stay clear of inequality in material life, imbalance between material life and spiritual and cultural life and imbalance between the increasing demand of the popular masses for independence and worsening political life.

Murdered half-brother of Kim Jong Un was working for South Korean spy agency: report Since Kim Jong Nam's murder and the trial of the two women who applied VX nerve agent to his face, suspicions have also been raised about connections to the CIA https://nationalpost.com/news/world/murdered-half-brother-of-kim-jong-un-was-working-for-south-korean-spy-agency-report Since his face was smeared with nerve agent in Kuala Lumpur airport, mystery has surrounded the hit job that brought down the half-brother of Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s leader.
But new revelations suggest the murdered one-time heir to the North’s despotic regime had been working for the intelligence agency of Pyongyang’s main enemy: South Korea.
Kim Jong Nam was long believed to have fallen out of favor with the regime at home, having been forced into exile after being caught with a fake passport en route to Tokyo Disneyland.
Since his murder and the trial of the two young women who applied VX nerve agent to his face on a piece of cloth, suspicions have also been raised about connections to the CIA.
But now current and former officials at South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) claim Kim was using connections in the North to feed information to the South on matters such as his half-brother’s health and nuclear ambitions — and that he was paid for doing so.
“Kim provided the NIS with information on trends within the government and the powers of the regime’s most high-ranking officials, including Kim Jong Un, for five or six years before his death,” Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) reported.
They added that Kim “raised the question of the possibility of asylum in South Korea”, although the South Korean side apparently hoped to avoid that on grounds “it would put considerable burden on inter-Korean relations.”

‘STARVE TO DEATH’: Kim Jong Un ordered North Koreans to eat less food until 2025 Anonymous 2021-10-28 (Thu) 17:40:29 No. 571297
The North Korean government has asked its citizens to watch what they eat until 2025. That’s when the country expects to reopen its border with China following the COVID-19 shutdown.
Citizens are already feeling the effects of the food shortages, as the nation’s food supply currently can’t meet the demand. And let’s not forget the soaring prices of just about everything.
Kim Jong Un’s ask, to eat less food and tighten their belts for at least another three years, is devastating to North Koreans who are already wondering how they’re going to see themselves through the winter.

I showed a video of those DPRK troops hitting each other with hammers as KJU and his sister watched giggling to my mom recently and she was like "gahh turn it off." She's cool because she's interested in this crazy stuff like me, but even that was a bit too much for her. Okay, those troops probably volunteered for that job, but abusing your body like that for the leader is some pretty extreme bullshit. Like, are you fucking kidding me?
Why is there a monarchy in this "communist" country? That doesn't make any sense. Frankly, I think the main reason the DPRK exists is because it's a buffer zone for China to keep the U.S. away. But if the U.S. really did pull out of South Korea and Asia, then there would be no reason for the country to exist anymore. Meanwhile, China does more trade with South Korea than with North Korea. They just don't want American troops on their border. That's why North Korea is a country. It's not because of some mystical Juche power. So, the DPRK is like a dog. Once upon a time, it wasn't so crazy and bitey, and actually helped scare off would-be burglars and you were even kind of proud of what a tough little sonofabitch he was. Now he's always barking, straining at the leash, trying to bite the neighbors, etc.

>>547619 Also your conception of North Korean aggression is exaggerated. While it does express enmity towards the South Korean and American governments, it does so out of projecting strength to avoid being attacked itself - to show that it's too spiky of a hedgehog to step on. Many times its nuclear tests appear unprovoked, but if you dig you will often find that not long before such a show of strength, the US will hold a joint-training with the south near the DMZ or something, which is partially used as a threat. It's like talking shit back to someone who stirs it up in the first place with yourself, so as to not be walked all over.

China, Russia Ask U.N. to End Sanctions so North Korea Can Import Bolts, Utensils, Vacuums https://www.newsweek.com/t-1645645 China and Russia are asking the U.N. to end key sanctions against North Korea, according to the Associated Press, which obtained a draft resolution given to Security Council members. The resolution says that the sanctions should be lifted "with the intent of enhancing the livelihood of the civilian population" of North Korea. It also encourages North Korea and the U.S. to revive diplomatic discussions. The sanctions have been in place since 2006 and have become steadily tougher over the years. The new resolution calls on U.N. member nations to provide "goods, materials, technology, and financial services needed by North Korea to combat COVID-19, improve livelihoods, and develop the economy," according to the AP… Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in 2018 that the sanctions had cut off all North Korean exports and 90 percent of its trade and disbanded the pool of workers that North Korea sent abroad to earn hard currency.

>>635886 Agricultural production has obviously improved within the last 10 years and malnourishment is no longer a problem, and though there have been issues recently due to floods as far as I know people are still getting fed. The country is very close to being self sufficient, and will probably become so in the next few decades. Due to a series of 5 year plans, light industry has been developed and amenities have increased. Millions of people now have smartphones. Non-communicable diseases are by far the largest cause of death, showing that the healthcare system is working as well as any western nation. Since 2017 both men and women are required to serve a term in the military, and gender discrimination is lower than in western countries. Military promotion is done by merit, with an officer corps almost completely made up from people promoted from private. There is 99% literacy in North Korea, compared to 71% literacy in AmeriKKKa. There is no unemployment and no homelessness whilst an 8 hour work day is maintained. Every household has a television and computer access is growing through communal computers, though still not common. Every family has a holiday home, even though they are probably built by the family. Workplaces have an hour or two of reading sessions at the end of the work day (something which I think lots of people on /leftypol/ need). Car ownership has visibly increased over the last 20 years, though it is impossible to find any figures on it. Electricity shortages are a problem and blackouts do happen, but Pyongyang at least is fully electicized. Some parts of the countryside are definitely poorer than the cities. Neoliberal propoganda claims that the GDP of the country is decreasing, even though it is clear that the standard of living has visibly increased drastically, and even then the country claims that the GDP has increased (I wonder who I trust…).
The country is no paradise at the moment, and it is still plagued by problems, but in many ways North Koreans live just as well as your average westernoid, and they are certainly better off than than people living in colonised countries. Despite problems I have with the leadership staying in one family, the government is overwhelmingly popular. This is all despite crippling and genocidal economic warfare waged by the USA.

You won't find any whether you scan through Kim Jong Il-era photos or modern ones, I'd like to be proven wrong. I suspect leather jackets, let alone the trench coat style, were never sold or worn in public to begin with in North Korea. So either leather jackets were always looked upon down as rebellious and were never worn in public like jeans or they were just never produced or imported into North Korea and were prohibitively expensive for anyone to purchase. Leather is not very practical clothing material, you can't wear it outside if it rains or snows, and there are more comfortable materials to wear indoors to stay warm; it's really just for fashion or if you're a fighter pilot.
If they did explicitly ban trench coat leather jackets they probably will make an exception for these type of jackets used as military uniforms like in these first two pictures if and only if Kim Jong Un isn't also in the photo op wearing his leather jacket.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/15/world/asia/north-korea-kpop-executions.html North Korea Executes People for Watching K-Pop, Rights Group Says
At least seven people have been put to death in the past decade for watching or distributing K-pop videos, as the North cracks down on what its leader calls a “vicious cancer.”
SEOUL — North Korea has publicly executed at least seven people in the past decade for watching or distributing K-pop videos from South Korea, as it cracks down on what its leader, Kim Jong-un, calls a “vicious cancer,” according to a human rights report released on Wednesday.
The group, Transitional Justice Working Group, which is based in Seoul, interviewed 683 North Korean defectors since 2015 to help map places in the North where people were killed and buried in state-sanctioned public executions. In its latest report, the group said it had documented 23 such executions under Mr. Kim’s government.
Since taking power a decade ago, Mr. Kim has attacked South Korean entertainment — songs, movies and TV dramas — which, he says, corrupts North Koreans’ minds. Under a law adopted last December, those who distribute South Korean entertainment can face the death penalty. One tactic of Mr. Kim’s clampdown has been to create an atmosphere of terror by publicly executing people found guilty of watching or circulating the banned content.

I am pretty sure even Germans during WWII were less brainwashed than Americans and knew that the whole nazi trope was bullshit, they only ruled over for 12 years. But the Americans have believed their own lies for centuries now, is there still a way to convince them of the truth? Or is total nuclear or biological extermination the only thing that will put them back in their place?

Is there a DPRK news source that's just, like…normal day to day local news?

>>671710 It's fascinating how these people do not realize that there could be material reasons for someone to defect to the DPRK besides being a spy or having mental problems. If I was earning a middle income I'd probably not defect but if I was unemployed, maybe addicted, about to be homeless, etc. I'd simply just fuck off to the North. Especially since the North Korea media would gladly push that story, I probably even get an apartment in Pyongyang handed over to me for free.
People just look at the big economic divide between North and South and forget that the North still retains all the social guarantees while the South is really bad in providing for the less fortunate.

How good is the DPRK army? Are they sophisticated, practice information sharing and make good of what few resources they have, or are they disorganized/corrupt like arab armies?

>>677845 Their ground forces are good, masses of artillery grant them immense firepower. They have a huge infantry as well and like the soviets they do lots of snipers and mortars, it would be hell to go up against them. Their air-force is shit, they can shoot down drones and helicopters, but not modern fighter jets or missiles. China and the Dprk have a mutual defense pact, which might cover their gap in Air-power. They also have the largest submarine fleet of any military, that is old but functional. They probably sank a south Korean Corvette in 2010. They also build a new class of submarine 2 or 3 years ago rumored to be able to launch an icbm.

>>688228 The request to lift sanctions against statue exports is particularly interesting, they are known to have exported a lot of statues to African countries.
Lifting the sanction against seafood exports I can see being a huge boon to the country, particularly its many seaside fishing villages that are some of the poorest places in the nation.
