oof that 38North article has all the trappings of machine generated writing with those bolded bullet style paragraphs, horseshoe theory but in article form.
Construction in the DPRK has ramped up in the recent years, the most apparent effort is the building of 40,000 apartment flats in Pyongyang. I think it’s done out of logistical necessity and also as a way to migrate rural citizenry into the city similar to how China’s rapid urban development worked to migrate its rural population to cities (without forgetting to also raise the living standard of those rural areas).
China spent much of it’s time developing the eastern portion of the country while relatively neglecting the western region until BRI and the strike hard campaign in Xinjiang.
