China has an incentive to keep the status quo in North Korea - they don’t want a unified Korean economic powerhouse next door, American military bases at the border or a refugee crisis if North Korea collapses. This project could very well have been the first domino to liberalize North Korea and make it easier for North Koreans to access the outside world, information and market capitalism etc, which could have forced the Kim dynasty to open up the country further like China in the 1970s. Something that would increase the risk of Revolution or that the economic benefits of it were too great to suppress and hold back (especially in the context following the 1990s famine crisis and loss of USSR investment) And that’s why China got cold feet and stopped it.
China has been persuading N Korea to open up for ages. Also trying to reconcile both sides of Korea. It’s the Americans who are afraid of a reunification of the Korean Peninsula. It would marginalised their influence in the region.
@@madsam0320 It is correct that China wants to have good relations with both the south and north and keep the peace in the peninsula, North Korea is not an ally China particularly appreciates (kind of like an embarrassing friend everybody hates that they feel the responsibility to always invite everywhere or defend to gain ulterior motives elsewhere) but it’s more of a transactional a partnership based on necessity to keep the status quo. But they are stuck between a rock and a hard place in that China publicly obviously *have* to proclaim that they want NK to open up, liberalize and adapt a post 1970s Chinese state capitalist model with communist characteristics - it would be insane if they didn’t say that. But when it finally is time to do something about it in practice and finally open the door for major reforms in NK (that isn’t just some loose trade agreement, infrastructure project or increased yields of wheat and mineral trade which only strengthens the status quo), China backs down - like in this example. That shows that China is the one to lose the most from breaking the status quo and a free, market capitalist North Korea without the Kim dynasty - not the US, that actually hope and constantly try to influence NK citizens to revolt or question the regime via propaganda leaflets, smuggling operations etc etc. And even if NK someday would reach Chinese levels of authoritarianism and market liberalization (which looks like Swiss liberal democracy in comparison to today) - it would be extremely hard to keep North Korean citizens from not wanting to unite or at least become aligned with their brothers down south. Maybe a deal is struck that expels US military presence in Korea as a compromise, but a United Korea would over time move towards the west due to SK being so dominant in such a union. That’s why China won’t let it happen at all - or try to annex North Korea in case of a rebellion to make it some sort of fragile Chinese satellite state. China is much more concerned about maintaining stability and balance of power in the region than the U.S. that still would have Japan and a continued good partnership with South Korea or United Korea (but possibly without troops in place)

The modern day hongkong you see is quite literally built off laundered triad money and the privileges of being the sole, and exploitatively so, trade liaison between China and the rest of the world. Hence why the citizens are going apesht now that their special status is slowly fading away.
GB had many colonies but only few successed, so the British was not the key point. HK benefited from the situation that it was the only window for mainland China communicated with the West. Just imagine how Mumbai would grow if all the imports and exports of India should pass through it.
Most businesses won't touch it. It'll be for Chinese companies and others from dodgy countries who are invariably poor (although not NK poor). If Kim wants to changes NK's fortunes, he needs to change NK's behaviour. He won't.
China is nowhere near poor. Even USA wants to remove China from developing countries list and put them into developed countries list. Edit: it seems like you didn't mean it.
North Korea did build its own Hong Kong type zone but on the opposite end of the country After all what is the point of building a special zone on the border of another communist country? Instead they created it on the Russian border and it’s called the Radon SEZ.
No place can develop with political instability. If you don’t understood why riots are put down in the west you aren’t really qualified to comment on Hong Kong
Great video! Learned a lot of things about the SEZs I didn’t know. One thing I was wondering about is the international political environment this “North Korean Hong Kong” was expected to happen in - you made the comparison with Hong Kong a few times, but the historical precedents here are very different… would love to hear your take on this
9:37 , that was dumb, an SAR would have helped the NE chinese economy just by being in proximity especially if you had lower customs fees and incentives for border crossings by land vehicles from the Chinese side.

05:52 Wrong info! In Chinese SAR System, the Central Government, theoretically, doesn’t take direct control of the local police force. Therefore, the Hong Kong Police Force is administrated under the Security Bureau of HKSAR Gov. In fact, the Commissioner of the Police is often considered as the core official of HKSAR. The trial process is only proceeded and concluded in HKSAR’s court, if according to the Basic Law. However, due to the latest implementation of the National Security Law (NSL), the Central Government (or Beijing Government) stated that, “the power of adjudication is reserved for the Supreme People’s Court (PRC Highest’ court) in case of “ a severe case threatening national security”. “ This leaves a large room for discussion on the contradictions between two laws. Anyway, the fact is that, HKSAR, legally retain her state of autonomy (including policing) at least until 2047 (as written on the paperwork) Of course, policy doesn’t speak for itself , it depends on how people interrupt the texts from it. Let’s see!
It's definitely not gonna do well as HK, I think the reason for this "New Hong Kong" is in their names because the main purpose of it is very similar to what China have with HK. Honestly, I don't even think that the new HK would do well if they were to exist. i think it would just harm NK reputation even more in fact.
Hong Kong local SAR government have high economic and investment authority. Recently Hong Kong occur more foreigner band of electric vehicles than China Band EV. Although Euro and America have raised China EV tariff.
hong kong used to be a major hub for cargo (due to its more than optimal location) but ever since the 2019 riots, china has been constantly trying to reincorporate hong kong into the country, especially with the “national security law” that prohibits any speech against the CCP and stuff like that. hong kong’s uniqueness is slowly deprecating and it will become a mid tier chinese city soon. it is clear that hong kong isn’t enough for its residents as a lot of people go to shenzhen over the weekends just to buy stuff.
I can bet most of you have never been to Hong Kong. I was there last April, it’s only slightly less crowded because air travel haven’t completely been restored. Hong Kong is still the 11th biggest container port and biggest air cargo port in the world. There is a reason the US limited Sino-US flights to 55 a week from more than 150 pre-COVID. The less American knows about China the more they are willing to believe the propaganda
I think most here has mistake the concept that think China built hk . Which they did not , but they carved out the special economic zone after taking it back from the British and allowing it certain rights that the mainland did not have to allow it to thrive on its own. That was what the North Korean see and want. The remain power in their own region but carve out a special zone to allow foreign direct investment like HK and Macau
China does not prefer a North Korea that stray away from their control. The Chinese still remember Vietnam experience and do not like to repeat it. A successful Sinuiju could risk straying away North Korea from China if Kim realises he can govern with his own to become rebellious. Combined with DPRK’s paranoia also stifles developments needed, this happened.
They could have a ring of varied autonomy around the SEZ to make it less jarring to have a super modern city next to the extreme poverty if the country
Karl Marx never said capitalism didn't work, he believed that capitalism is necessary to build the industrial backbone of a country and that it would bring about the end of feudalism. Capitalists will turn a dirt poor nation into an economic powerhouse but at the expense of the worker that in the end if left unchecked will destroy itself and the land. Marx believed communism is the next stage of evolution the system that will replace capitalism but only after capitalists have built the factories and infrastructure so that the workers can inherit it and continue to operate the facilities without the need for a boss. China never went through a capitalist stage after WW2 they adopted communism but by the 70s realized they needed to use capitalism to build and that's what they have done is use the market influence to develop the nation but under the control of the party, once this process is complete the party will do away with capitalism so they same the future is unknown
UK belongs to HK? Does UK has more economic power than China? How many mega cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen does UK has? Do you enjoy the riot in UK?

The project is actually good but the premise and time were wrong. For this project to be successful it would need to build links with its entourage, primarily the south as it would send a peaceful message, not necessarily a drastic change or reunification but an attempt at normalization. Remember when Kim Jung-Un met Trump Moon Jae-In? Add china and maybe a reboot wouldn't be too bad... Although now tensions are higher

ofcourse its not gonna be 1 on 1 to hk, it's just a lesser form of it. at least nk have something that they can pocketed from but honestly it sounds stupid with the locals being pushed out and was being replaced by skill workers instead. this whole idea is just a money making machine and not much contributed to its people that inhabited the country.
North Korea's version of Hong Kong also wont do that well. There's also a possible of sanctions from other countries. And all other shenanigans that the NK Gov will do with their new somewhat money generating side of them.
North Korea want to build a capitalism city for foreigners invest North Korea, if work, the city would become more wealth than other North Korea place. And the city would become more international city than other North Korea area.
Th e first sentence comparing the special economic zone with HK already put me off! Demonstrateing presenter dept of knowedge! HK is a British colony outside of China for 100 years handed back to China in 1997 and still kind of outside untill 2047 if current agreement don't extend! If he compare it to Zhanjiang is more appropriate, a zone within a country! Quite a few countries want to emulate seeing China success! If a country like North Korea want to do the same, they have to be willing to liberalized itself like China did in the 90s, otherwise it's a no go! I may come back to watch! But right now I'm put off😢so move on!

Anyway, the fact is that, HKSAR, legally retain her state of autonomy (including policing) at least until 2047 (as written on the paperwork)
Of course, policy doesn’t speak for itself , it depends on how people interrupt the texts from it. Let’s see!
Canton is a favorite country between Hong Kong and Macau
What is a “canton” lmao
@@bryonwhite6359 GUANGZOU
isn't it Guangdong?
Hint: Sinuiju (신의주; 新義州) is pronounced more like "shin-yi-joo"
*_kimmy kim kim monarch regime can never reach the status of Hong Kong. Communism just doesn't work in human world_*
Yes, as mentioned by others, this is to make a North Korean version of Shenzhen, not another Hong Kong.
The highlighting sound effect is sooo annoying
America should spread some freedom around innit?
1:31 Mentiones North Koreas GDP crashing from 89-97, But what the hell happened for it to go up as fast?
Sunshine policy by South Korea. An attempt to open up North Korea by introducing capitalism.
NK just depends on Soviet aid. Soviet gone and DPRK just went completely bad.
香港有背后整个中国的庞大市场，有亚洲顶级的贸易港口，英国百年的经营。新义州有什么？对面的丹东只是个东北三线的小城市，能引来多少外贸投资？难道换一个政治体制，自由贸易就一定能致富吗？
It's definitely not gonna do well as HK, I think the reason for this "New Hong Kong" is in their names because the main purpose of it is very similar to what China have with HK. Honestly, I don't even think that the new HK would do well if they were to exist. i think it would just harm NK reputation even more in fact.
I hope this comes to fruition. If North Korea can develop like China has done. The whole of Korea could become one country two systems.
HK is no more, just another typical mid tier Chinese city now.
Now that’s not true, have u even been to Hong Kong?
You can go to Hong Kong now, and see how it’s changed from 5 years ago.
Hong Kong local SAR government have high economic and investment authority.
Recently Hong Kong occur more foreigner band of electric vehicles than China Band EV. Although Euro and America have raised China EV tariff.
hong kong used to be a major hub for cargo (due to its more than optimal location) but ever since the 2019 riots, china has been constantly trying to reincorporate hong kong into the country, especially with the “national security law” that prohibits any speech against the CCP and stuff like that. hong kong’s uniqueness is slowly deprecating and it will become a mid tier chinese city soon. it is clear that hong kong isn’t enough for its residents as a lot of people go to shenzhen over the weekends just to buy stuff.
I can bet most of you have never been to Hong Kong. I was there last April, it’s only slightly less crowded because air travel haven’t completely been restored.
Hong Kong is still the 11th biggest container port and biggest air cargo port in the world.
There is a reason the US limited Sino-US flights to 55 a week from more than 150 pre-COVID. The less American knows about China the more they are willing to believe the propaganda
I think most here has mistake the concept that think China built hk . Which they did not , but they carved out the special economic zone after taking it back from the British and allowing it certain rights that the mainland did not have to allow it to thrive on its own. That was what the North Korean see and want. The remain power in their own region but carve out a special zone to allow foreign direct investment like HK and Macau
China does not prefer a North Korea that stray away from their control. The Chinese still remember Vietnam experience and do not like to repeat it. A successful Sinuiju could risk straying away North Korea from China if Kim realises he can govern with his own to become rebellious. Combined with DPRK’s paranoia also stifles developments needed, this happened.
The lack of rule of law and contractual spirit has led to the failure of North Korean economic development.
Even China has screwed up Hong Kong nowadays. The Sinuiju is actually the future of Hong Kong 😂
They could have a ring of varied autonomy around the SEZ to make it less jarring to have a super modern city next to the extreme poverty if the country
Karl Marx never said capitalism didn't work, he believed that capitalism is necessary to build the industrial backbone of a country and that it would bring about the end of feudalism. Capitalists will turn a dirt poor nation into an economic powerhouse but at the expense of the worker that in the end if left unchecked will destroy itself and the land. Marx believed communism is the next stage of evolution the system that will replace capitalism but only after capitalists have built the factories and infrastructure so that the workers can inherit it and continue to operate the facilities without the need for a boss. China never went through a capitalist stage after WW2 they adopted communism but by the 70s realized they needed to use capitalism to build and that's what they have done is use the market influence to develop the nation but under the control of the party, once this process is complete the party will do away with capitalism so they same the future is unknown
Ideologicaly & Geographically, it will not be happened.
Hong Kong has uk, what do china and north korea have?
UK belongs to HK? Does UK has more economic power than China? How many mega cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen does UK has? Do you enjoy the riot in UK?
@@NewData-ly4ck Why are Hong Kongers moving to UK now? Just answer
@@UrbanSheng Because HK is overrated, it is never that good. Rent is expensive, people live in cages and boxes. HK is not meant for poor people. Poor people in HK should drop their pride and move to mainland China, which has very cheap apartments even in big cities.
But if they move to UK, well, good for them, but I am not sure whether people in UK like immigrants. Would you even have equal opportunity? Does your English have accent?
@@NewData-ly4ck And can you tell why HK is overrated?
@@UrbanSheng I just said that, are you a bot, or mabye you are a kid
Of course, North Korea built his own
Hongkong after 2500 years later. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The project is actually good but the premise and time were wrong.
For this project to be successful it would need to build links with its entourage, primarily the south as it would send a peaceful message, not necessarily a drastic change or reunification but an attempt at normalization. Remember when Kim Jung-Un met Trump Moon Jae-In? Add china and maybe a reboot wouldn't be too bad... Although now tensions are higher
Almost, and didn’t, and won’t ever
The birth of Hong Kong is unique u can't built or copy
Why is there Thailand flag? 10:12
I'm so sick of all youtuber saying one of the most.... Tell me ANY country that is more isolated then north korea?
probably Turkmenistan
Eritrea
Afghanistan
Mongolia
Bhutan, Armenia, South Sudan, and there are a bunch of places that’s in the middle of civil wars
Btw versed i love you
Ok, but who could by the products as there is an embargo…
Next time try Hong Kong almost become North Korea
Let's see if I follow Kimthought: Recognizing that autonomy would be economically beneficial, Kim planned to confine better governance to a limited area. Yeah, that's autocratic foot-shooting for you.
nahhh I would be trapped there if I’m there (I’m a Hong konger)
Can't stand it when TH-camrs make videos about NK and can't even bother to learn how to pronounce the places they talk about properly.
I think so in the future
Shenzen not Hong Kong.
guess what. im texting this is hong kong rn
Bro. That will never happen under communist regime they need to be open to capitalism
@@gtPacheko yeah, capitalistic policies suck, so many of the counties that adopted them are richest and have high development 😢, idk how can sm1 advocate for such policies!!
@@gtPacheko?!?
centrally planned economy could work if used correctly, all economies is useful if used correctly
@@UfgbjaNo, capitalistic policies don’t suck.
@LopyMc it’s sarcasm lmao
So basically the US being the bad guy had to be a dick
I think letting a religious dictatorship earn money it’s like approving them
Really interesting facts were shown about north korea
I am also trying to show the truth to the people of the world with the small media I have
Now Hong Kong is becoming North Korea. Amazing!
oh how the turns tabled XD
*_down with communism_*
based
Dam I never know this. And I know alot of N.Korea
jonging great enginnering
DPRK best country in word
Under the governance of two authoritarian regimes, such establishment of a liberal autonomous area is just a far-fetched plan.
DPRK can't copy Shanghai!
I don't think North Korea can build its own Hong Kong, or comparing Hong Kong to North Korea is inherently a bit funny and ridiculous
ofcourse its not gonna be 1 on 1 to hk, it's just a lesser form of it. at least nk have something that they can pocketed from but honestly it sounds stupid with the locals being pushed out and was being replaced by skill workers instead. this whole idea is just a money making machine and not much contributed to its people that inhabited the country.
Wew, I thought this was real life lore lol.
Now hong kong is more like china's sinuiju😆
ankle would have to change their mind set
the way you spelled "Sinuiju" killed me, when you are doing research for video, just try to spell something correctly
The spelling is correct, it's the pronunciation that's off.
@@doujinflip i think he meant to say that the pronunciation is incorrect.
Wasn’t Hong Kong constructed by the British not China?
Yes, so what's your point?
@@kalvon The point was that the British constructed Hong Kong, that’s the point.
외국 기업이 투자를 하려면 신뢰가 있어야 하는데 북한이 지금까지 한 짓만 보면 이건 짐승도 안낼 소리인걸 알수 있음.
이런 기본적인것도 이해를 못하는 사람이 있다는게 신기할뿐 개개인 간의 투자에서도 당연시 여기는것인데
North Korea's version of Hong Kong also wont do that well. There's also a possible of sanctions from other countries. And all other shenanigans that the NK Gov will do with their new somewhat money generating side of them.
@@kalvon +
Might have better luck if developed on the Russian border

Poor HongKong
Bcs of China
I think the name Sinuiju should be read "sin-we-ju", not "si-nu-i-ju"
🇺🇸
I live in hi 😮
North Korea want to build a capitalism city for foreigners invest North Korea, if work, the city would become more wealth than other North Korea place. And the city would become more international city than other North Korea area.
Sounds like bullshit 😂😂 Destined to fail
Lots of ahistorical comments under this video.
its youtube what do you expect, we need to mandate an iq test for every user before they can be allowed to comment
No another Hong Kong can be built without the hundred years of British colonisation
Th
e first sentence comparing the special economic zone with HK already put me off! Demonstrateing presenter dept of knowedge!
HK is a British colony outside of China for 100 years handed back to China in 1997 and still kind of outside untill 2047 if current agreement don't extend!
If he compare it to Zhanjiang is more appropriate, a zone within a country!
Quite a few countries want to emulate seeing China success! If a country like North Korea want to do the same, they have to be willing to liberalized itself like China did in the 90s, otherwise it's a no go!
I may come back to watch! But right now I'm put off😢so move on!
