A side of North Korea you would never see on western corporate television. With the way things are going who knows how long it'll be on YouTube. Without western Imperialism Korea would be one country, whether capitalist or communist.
"Award-winning documentary filmmaker Sung-Hyung Cho was the first South Korean filmmaker to ever receive an official permit to film in North Korea. Traveling the country, she accompanies ordinary people during their everyday life and work routines, talking to them about their hopes and dreams. The resulting film ventures beyond the usual clichés and portrays the country and its people in a unique and respectful way.
Growing up in South Korea, Cho was taught in school that her Northern neighbors had red skin and two horns on their heads. With her film, she took the chance to bid farewell to her prejudices and revise her preconceived image of people in North Korea."

Yeah I mean its not really "funneled" through China its just regular cross border activity that happens between China and North Korea, from aid to migrants to trade. China sometimes votes for sanction bills on North Korea in the UN but that's them just being strategic, its basically an open thing that they have real economic interaction. And yeah thats because libs can often be racist and true. The part about the rural farmer with the sustainable farming techniques and lifestyle is really dope too .
Yeah, that was pretty cool. Also the methane they were recouping from waste was a pretty nifty setup.
Xi Jinping got his start in politics/activism building those methane recyclers
Anyone whose still a human being has to be impressed with Xi's life and rise to power. A great man.
any good books in English on his early life? Just realized I know nothing about it beyond a few sparse details
Great Power Leader Xi Jinping: International Perspectives on China's Leader(not on his early life much I haven't found a good source for that in depth in English yet, just know the bits and pieces)
Some Books on China in general that id recommend:
Fanshen , and everything William H. Hinton ever wrote.
Constructing China by Gao Mobo (also has a very useful bibliography)
Maos China and After A History Of The Peoples Republic by Maurice Meisner
China and Ecological Civilization: John B. Cobb, Jr. in conversation with Andre Vltchek
Media Transparency in China: Rethinking Rhetoric and Reality by Baohui Xie (Author), Mobo Gao ( quite critical but good)
