Illuminated streets, electric cars, and apps in Pyongyang: what’s behind the surprising economic recovery announced by Kim Jong-un in North Koreahttps://en.clickpetroleoegas.com.br/illuminated-streets-electric-cars-and-apps-in-pyongyang-whats-behind-the-surprising-economic-recovery-announced-by-kim-jong-un-in-north-kore-caes/
>>109325067"What's behind it"Yeah, what do you think>The rich elite in Pyongyang will use the money they steal from everyone else to import all these things>The rest of the country will stay dirt poor. Sometimes they will send the police to beat them up for intimidation>Western billionaires feel inspired
>>109325067Trade with China.
>>109325067Holy shit they finally got street lamps and apps???? The west is fucked!!!
>>109325067Kimmy really should be giving all their resources to China. North Korea is mineral rich but agricultural poor. The opposite is true for South Korea.So he should be giving all his minerals to China for food and tech.
>>109325067Genuinely the economy and technology of North Korea is really interesting. I always wonder how it would look like if they had no sanctions and didnt have to rely on China for imports but I'm pretty sure they can get all they need from China anyways. I know this will sound crazy to those who haven't researched North Korea but it seems like a comfy country to be born in
>>109325087isn’t that the same case in brazil
>>109325278They need China, it's enough of a struggle to survive as-is.But they generally speaking have ~the same potential as South Korea of course.
>>109325067Selling artillery shells to Russia, and some other military stuff too
>>109325278I appreciate them, scrappy underdogs figuring out how to make do, keep their identity, and somehow remain relevant when pitted against real superpowers. I dunno that I'd want to live there but it seems genuinely less terrible than south korea in a lot of ways and the world would absolutely be a dimmer, less interesting place without them.
>>109325067the real answer is this: now that china has technological sovereignty in enough aspects of life, the norks can trivially adopt all the technologies china is proficient in without having to sacrifice their desired ways of life. iow, china exports technological sovereignty to the world by virtue of never intentionally imposing their own cultures and values and will in general into the technologies and products they export.with china, you can trade AND have control over your own destiny. that is, as long as you don't piss them off, and you've got the wealth to trade with.
>/g/ - news
>>109325169yeah, they also have a gaming cafe too!
>>109325278For an ideology so focused on the future, it does have a premodern charm. I bet people from centuries ago would find it easier to understand the N.korean nation more than anywhere else in the world.
>>109325087>The rich elite in US will use the money they steal from everyone else to import all these things>The rest of the country will stay dirt poor. Sometimes they will send the police to beat them up for intimidation>Eastern billionaires feel inspiredWow, really made me think. The difference being the US doesn't even have a proper train network.
>AI image
>>109327385>US doesn't even have a proper train network.>muh trainslmao. why do poors want trains? do you realize how large the US is? even the poorest here have cars.
>>109327390Didn’t even notice until now
>>109325067use case?
>>109325067>economic recoveryBut how about health recovery for his fat ass?
>>109325067What are they hiding from us about NKI swear the whole NK is just a backwards 3rd world dystopia, even worse than india, is all just a psyop
>>109328108They did have pretty nasty famine back in the day, having no trading partners except chyna and little arable land will do that. These days, not a big problem though. Police stateyness is not as bad as you might think, just don't do an obvious no-no thing like publicly deface a portrait of glorious leader or something that'll end you in a gulag. Much cleaner and safer than places like India. I have no clue about how it is to actually be a productive citizen participating in the economy with a job and all that, any unemployment numbers you read are certainly going to be complete fabrications for propaganda purposes whether they come from Western sources or internal. One definitely cool thing: AKs with overfolding stocks and helical magazines, and chromed out if you're an extra special guy. Do they work reliably? Seems unlikely, but they sure look sick.
>>109325278>Genuinely the economy and technology of North Korea is really interesting.its called juche
>>109328108its pretty simplecountries which are controlled by the jews are the good countries.and the countries who are free of jewish control are the 'evil' countries
>>109327487Trains are better for long distance travel. They are faster and more fuel efficient then cars and trucks and maintaining the railway is not much more expensive then asphalt, but boomers decided cars above everything.
>>109325278I saw a video about their airfirce recently and it's quite funny because 80% if their airforce are early cold war planes
>>109325067>>109327888the real Illuminated streets look like this
>>109327487It's clear you've never used a good train system. Visit Japan and you'll realize how much you've been missing.
>>109328188eh. most police states don't protect you from false accusations that you or someone related to you did an obvious no-no thingthey usually go from your idea that they're manageable to actually really bad because of this
>>109327487Are you mentally retarded? The point is not to have a single long railway from Texas to New York, the point is to have multiple smaller railways in every State and then interconnect them.>u r le poorComfy train travel >>>> 16 hours drivings. Plus, trains are immensely better than trucks to move goods long distances.
>>109329464This. A train is the closest you can get to ocean shipping overland.Truck throughput is simply not comparable.There's no logical reason to oppose trains. It's simply a meaningless shibboleth.
>>109328474Are you fucking retarded? I'm a europoor and I eould gladly buy a car and never use muh drains again if I wasnt a poor nigger
>>109325067>what’s behind the surprising economic recovery announced by Kim Jong-unAI-generated propaganda images
>>109325067>Illuminated streets, electric cars, and apps in Pyongyang:sold ass to China
>>109329511>logical reasonThe reason is lobbying by car companies.
>>109329532Even if you want to drive everywhere you should be lobbying for trains. Every single freight train means that you can take dozens of cargo trucks off the roads. And for long distance travel I'll much rather drive my car into a train, get into a sleeper cabin, sleep a full night, eat breakfast in the train, and arrive at my destination well rested with my car sometime in the morning. Instead of spending an entire day or night driving.
>>109325067>illuminated streetsholy fuck they're progressing at breakneck speed, SK is fucked, the west is FUCKED
>>109325147It's all China. If Kim let in China to mine resources and set up shop with steel mills and such he could probably see an unprecedented economic recovery. Koreans are capable people
>>109325087unless you've been how can believe what they tell you? why are the only people who can afford a $8000 electric car being dumped by china because they are 3 years old models and unwanted bot something a regular north korean can afford?
>>109328620why does it reminds me of those optimistic ads from us post-war?
>>109327385The difference between the US and North Korea is that NK doesn't have the capacity to start and lose wars all the time.That and china doesn't steal all their tech from NK.
>>109325067another victory for the Juche idea and Kim Jong Un Thought over the American pigs' imperialism
>>109333035they did a better job than South Korea
>>109329894They have received a shit ton from Russia including tech transfer in exchange for troops, ammunition and equipment in the war. Russia sent them two submarine nuclear reactors but the ship sank in the Med.
>>109325087as opposed to>The rich elite in the west will use the money they steal from everyone else to import even more indians to replace its local population>The rest of the country will stay dirt poor. Sometimes they will send the police to beat them up for intimidationBest Korea wins again
>>109325067>what’s behind the surprising economic recovery announced by Kim Jong-un in North KoreaShowing an extremely skewed and fabricated outlook on the reality of the country, basically like the CCP propaganda videos showing building full of leds and fake end of the year celebrations at night, and when the sun is shinning "brightly" over the contamination clouds the buildings are either empty inside or nearly falling down due to being poorly built and even when they lowered the threshold for being considered in poverty to mere 700$/y before taxes they still report over 15% of people being poor in the country.
>uncovered an apparent network of at least 20 North Korean operatives including "Jo" who had collectively applied to at least 160,000 roles. During that time, workers in the network — which some evidence showed were based in China — were employed by five U.S.-based companies and allegedly helped by an American citizen operating out of two nondescript suburban homes in Florida...>Nisos estimated that in about a year, "Jo", who was likely a newer member of the team, applied to about 5,000 jobs... "They attended interviews all day every day, and then once they secured a job, they would collect paychecks until they were terminated,"Based
>>109334569usa does the same thing thought and no one gives a fuck about it
>>109325067It's what happens when your country doesn't have Jews to steal everything
>>109337686It's so weird how Asian "communists" end up being more like national socialists.
>>109328108It's actually the opposite, what they are hiding is that NK is doing fine, it's not a horrible 3rd world country, it's more like an average second world country like thailand
