North Korea produces urea (used in fertilizer) from coal. It is a incredibly expensive, labour intensive, process that is far cheaper to do using natural gas and oil. Since China has basically used it as a control lever previously, they'd be eager to switch their process to a natural gas/oil process (which is somewhat easy to do). Even temporarily, Russia exports urea itself ordinarily too.
The more you know. Cody’slab just uploaded a video using surface bacteria found on coal to turn his urea into nitrates. Thought it seemed cost effective if using waste, though he did mention scale towards the end of his experiment.

Technological progress allows us to do more with less and hence favors ever increasing autonomy, or “self-reliance”. At some point NK will reach a threshold beyond which it can essentially ensure the basic needs of all its citizens, including food, and the only threat would be a foreign military one. Waiting for North Korea to implode due to isolation is a foolish tactic.
TLDR; North Korea is not doing better than you think, Russia just gave it some stuff. North Korea sees better economic growth than that simply when the weather is good for growing food, that's how bad it is.

33 extra bucks per year is a lot for the average North Korean. And if they keep that going, they're going to have 100 extra bucks per year in a couple of years.

China didn’t voluntarily support the invasion of South Korea as Mao planned to chase the KMT to Taiwan island after 1949, Mao was consolidating his CCP forces and planned to invade Taiwan in 1950 but Stalin forced Mao to help Kim instead, leaving China weaker and unable to invade Taiwan afterwards.

North-Korean economic growth is a positive, as the DPRK is inherently reliant on food imports, which they can only support with their own exports. Contrary to even this report North-Korea was eager to export to the west since a long while, even publishing English language trade magazines advertising their products. What held them back are the stringent sanctions.
Maybe they should be less hostile if they want a breakthrough and detente. Idk it’s kinda weird to threaten when y face famine instead of idk respecting not invading South Korea. How come delusion people like you never realize this or did u forget that north korea was attacking ships from Japan, Sk kidnapping foreigners even before Kim started testing nukes?
Actually to correct you here North Korea started the Korean War with the full backing of the Soviet Union. China was dragged into this war as the US led UN forces went all the way to the border on the Yalu River between North Korea and China!
Its Great for NK indeed. I mean with how Desperate Putler is. Kimmy will get pretty much whatever he wants if he provides ammo and meat. Worse for Winny the Pooh tough.

Because if Winny gets Angy he may take his own measures.
interesting video but the use of the heritage foundation index on economic freedom is dubious, once you you at the criteria they use... heritage foundation isn't just an independent think tank or study group, it's a fundamentally liberal (economically) and ultraconservative (socially) organization, supported by multiple billionaires and big compagnies, and at the origin of Project 2025 which will probably guide Trump's presidency if he ends up elected
The Juche Thought was a project to give North Korean leadership political autonomy from both Soviet and Chinese interference, and strengthen Kim Il Sung's cult of personality. Self-reliance, although proclaimed, was always bogus, as North Korea was always heavy subsidized and they extracted support from both USSR and China through diplomatic manipulation. At that time, ideological, cultural, and informational isolation from both USSR and China at one side, and capitalist countries on the other, aimed at strengthening Kim Il Sung's position of power, and not just because. Juche Thought wasn't softened in the 80s, because when it began to be formulated around that time, it deemphasised class struggle, and Kim Il Sung himself ordered some market reforms a few years before Deng Xiaoping became leader of China.
I don't get the need political channels have of presenting something as "a new development". Only someone profoundly ignorant of North Korean history would say that the involvement with Russia including military training is a novelty.

Well, I don't think much of how they are doing so it's not a that great of an achievement.
Using a razor with less running costs and environmental impact may be good, but I hope you people do realize that you can also simply shave with a well-sharpened 10 buck pocket knife, and effectively reduce both of them to zero.
The discount code doesn’t work ☹️
5:20 the heritage foundation are also the authors of project 2025, probably not the best source
You guys should have brought up why kamala isn't on Joe Rogan
Technically, the Korean War has yet to end.
“With backing from China…” my understanding was that China backing North Korea was more a reaction to the US getting involved than something North Korea had going in.
More like US Air force "randomly" dropped bombs in China soil until Mao sent army to the border. And unlike the Vietnam war, China never sent any supplies to the NK troops
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
It's Ms. Evelyn Vera doing, she's changed my life.
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera you're a miracle.
So this means, North Korea will have abundant oil and food?
North-Korean economic growth is a positive, as the DPRK is inherently reliant on food imports, which they can only support with their own exports. Contrary to even this report North-Korea was eager to export to the west since a long while, even publishing English language trade magazines advertising their products. What held them back are the stringent sanctions.
Maybe they should be less hostile if they want a breakthrough and detente. Idk it’s kinda weird to threaten when y face famine instead of idk respecting not invading South Korea. How come delusion people like you never realize this or did u forget that north korea was attacking ships from Japan, Sk kidnapping foreigners even before Kim started testing nukes?
Actually to correct you here North Korea started the Korean War with the full backing of the Soviet Union. China was dragged into this war as the US led UN forces went all the way to the border on the Yalu River between North Korea and China!
"china, which was to avoid a new cold war, at all costs"
that's quite the statement. I'm not sure if it's firmly planted in the facts, though.
That's some wacky microphone action going on
Its Great for NK indeed.
I mean with how Desperate Putler is. Kimmy will get pretty much whatever he wants if he provides ammo and meat.
Worse for Winny the Pooh tough. His Influence over Kimmy is effectively gone with Putler providing for Kimmy´s needs.
And this in turn might end up being quite bad for all of them.
Because if Winny gets Angy he may take his own measures.
Not really that hard to do better than I think.
Russia gets shells and men, North Korea gets food.

interesting video but the use of the heritage foundation index on economic freedom is dubious, once you you at the criteria they use...
heritage foundation isn't just an independent think tank or study group, it's a fundamentally liberal (economically) and ultraconservative (socially) organization, supported by multiple billionaires and big compagnies, and at the origin of Project 2025 which will probably guide Trump's presidency if he ends up elected
ah yes, "jushi"
Kim & I
Sound levels, the hell?
The Juche Thought was a project to give North Korean leadership political autonomy from both Soviet and Chinese interference, and strengthen Kim Il Sung's cult of personality. Self-reliance, although proclaimed, was always bogus, as North Korea was always heavy subsidized and they extracted support from both USSR and China through diplomatic manipulation. At that time, ideological, cultural, and informational isolation from both USSR and China at one side, and capitalist countries on the other, aimed at strengthening Kim Il Sung's position of power, and not just because.
Juche Thought wasn't softened in the 80s, because when it began to be formulated around that time, it deemphasised class struggle, and Kim Il Sung himself ordered some market reforms a few years before Deng Xiaoping became leader of China.
It won't last.
North Korea has diplomatic relationship with 160 countries and its trade with China peaked at 10 billion USD. North Korea's isolationism is a myth.
@davidstrelec2000 no they are very very isolated since the founding
I don't get the need political channels have of presenting something as "a new development". Only someone profoundly ignorant of North Korean history would say that the involvement with Russia including military training is a novelty.
Might wanna check the pronunciation of Juche xD
Incredible how a economic channel get so many man shaving adds ... It says a lot of the demographic 😂😂
Pyongyang is going to go up in a giant mushroom cloud.
North Korea barely got any GDP but the central bank saying 3.1 jump is not much at all
I wonder if they're accepting flights in? Kim looks like they eat well.
Do you want to roll that dice? Air Koryo isn't reputable at the best of times, when Kim travels he does it by armoured train.
I hear he likes Katie Perry
