  • its good to hear that they are trying to put energy where it is needed. I have some more questions:

    • How many north koreans work abroad? Roughly speaking, is it common? How does the employment process work: do they sign up with an agency, which arranges the out-of-country work? Are there incentives?
    • Is the amount of north koreans working abroad increasing or decreasing?
    • How much direct investment is there from china, russia, etc in north korean industry? I.e. are there many international companies operating on north korean soil, joint ventures included? Does the DPRK feel like it is getting meaningful technology transfer out of these arrangements?
    • Similarly, how many north korean companies operate abroad, including joint ventures? Do these companies employ mostly DPRK citizens?


    1. how do people inside the DPRK regard the recent turmoil in south korea?
    2. how relevant do people inside the DPRK see the conflicts in the middle east, ukraine to their own national security? And do they feel that their affinity with russia/china/iran has increased or decreased in the last 10 years?
    3. In the last trump presidency, there was a meeting which appeared to be PR. How did people inside the DPRK regard the last trump presidency, and how do they feel about the incoming one?
    4. How has the relations of DPRK with Cuba changed since the new south korean embassy?
