North Korea’s Coronavirus Economic Downturn Has Made It Weak
Daniel R. DePetris, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Daniel R. DePetris* *North Korea Coronavirus, Americas* The question is whether the economic turmoil the North is experiencing will have any long-term repercussions with respect to North Korea’s domestic or foreign policy. There is no question in anyone’s mind that North Korea’s economy, not exactly thriving in the best of times, is meandering in the doldrums. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un wouldn’t be invoking the “great arduous march” of the famine-stricken 1990s if he didn’t believe the Workers Party and the bureaucrats that staff the Kim dynasty failed the North Korean peop...
