    Is this just fraud as usual or is there something else going on? Is it at all related to antitrust allegations of price fixing and such?

      China’s CXMT just broke the global memory chip duopoly held by Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. Their IPO caused a major global semiconductor stock rout and Korean markets halted trading because it’s basically propped up by these companies. And on top of that, there are now increasing worries about the whole AI bubble built on circular investments. If data center build out stops then the demand for chips and memory is going to collapse too.

    ROK had three main advantages that allowed it to be more prosperous than DPRK:

    1. It wasn’t mostly destroyed by the US during the war.
    2. It has plenty of plains suitable for farming while DPRK has steep mountainous terrain.
    3. It wasn’t sanctioned or embargoed.

    Other events like the fall of the USSR and a major flood have also set DPRK back.

    It will be interesting to watch if DPRK becomes the more prosperous nation long-term due to socialism simply being a better economic system and what this will mean for future reunification. But I am getting ahead of myself.

      Its been interesting to see the recent economic successes of the DPRK and to watch how even the capitalist media in the US is starting to concede to it. Now, whether that means that the US is going to try to get them to “open up” like China did is anyone’s guess.

        DPRK is not opening up like China any time soon. China had to open up because they had no alternatives. They had hundreds of millions of very poor people, no industry, no infrastructure, and a fallout with their biggest and most advanced ally.

        DPRK is in a much better spot with functioning systems, infrastructure, and a working political system. Once the US collapses, they’ll be able to trade more freely and SK will seem like the forgotten section of what used to be Korea.

        It likely means they don’t want to legitimize the state formed so that US and its puppet dictator could go on to on to level every “North” Korean city, killing 15% of the population because gobunism bad

            No it’s about the USMGK and their puppet Syngman Rhee and their many massacres followed by the war of extermination they lead against the DPRK (the legitimate successor to the PRK outlawed by the USMGK) where between 1/5 and 1/4 of the population of the DPRK was killed alongside the destruction of 80% of structures and the majority of the farmland leaving survivors starving and living in caves.

            Don’t look up how South Korea formed and how for nearly the majority of its existence it was a military junta that the capitalist world pretended barely even existed until money was poured into it during the 90s at the end of the Cold War.

            I mean, it was a couple of Americans that decided where the North/South Korean border would be. South Korea basically is a vassal state.

              I imagine you are experiencing something you think is freedom when you barely have a sense of where any of this ‘non-fabricated’ reality actually sits in the scheme of things. Get help before you turn yourself inside out trying to out-reality yourself.

                  Can you elaborate on this? I genuinely only wanted to address how arbitrary it seemed to be that someone would go out of their way to just start declaring whole countries as invalid because of American interventionism, which, granted, is not good, to put it super lightly. But I want to know where the need to just inject it wherever comes from.

                  I’m 100% just having internet arguments here but I don’t think I cast the first stone here. The top comment was tailor made for people to engage with. Personally I’m stressed and when I’m stressed I go do shit like this.

                Holy hells, I love it when the libs cloak their condescending attitude and western brainworms in a holier than thou sense of trying to help or something. Why don’t you go offer your “help” to someone who asks for it, or are that kinda person who doesn’t care for consent?

                  You’re right, that is kind of condescending. I actually hate it when people use the get help line but, no, I don’t really care here. It rattled you enough to comment on it for someone else so where’s the consent now? You like imposing your own sense of superiority in place of someone else? Mad no one directed their energies at you so you step in where they could have easily responded themselves? Holier than thou indeed.
