On this week's Global Research News Hour we interview two analysts whose views on the Country of North Korea run opposite the way the East Asian country is typically portrayed.
The first guest, Kiyul Chong is a Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing. He has visited North Korea numerous times. Chung corrects typical depictions of North Korea as a human rights pariah, belligerent and dangerous military power.
In the second half hour, Henri Feron, author of the May 5, 2014 article "Doom and Gloom or Economic Boom? The Myth of the âNorth Korean Economic Collapseâ explains that the economic difficulties North Korea has been facing are exaggerated in the Western mind, that they have more to do with the sanctions imposed by foreign powers, the US in particular, and on who might benefit from this depiction of the country.
