Apropå den snabba, moderna utvecklingen i DFR Korea så hade NKnews (västlig propagandakanal, som dock håller viss kvalitet) en artikel igår om ett pågående byggprojekt i Pyongyang och nämner också i övrigt en del om vad som händer i landet. Här talas det om ”Pyongyang speed” – detta är tydligen NKnews namn på den snabba byggnationen i huvudstaden. Sedan bekräftas det jag nämnt förut, moderniseringen är stark och det verkar flyta in inkomster.
"Since 2015 and the successful construction of the luxury Mirae Scientists Street in Pyongyang, North Korea’s post-war “Pyongyang Speed” slogan has resurfaced to promote speedy construction and the redevelopment of the city. This emphasis has continued during the construction of the recently finished Ryomyong Street and the empty island turned high-end sports complex at Mother’s Island. Work on the Ministry appears to be taking place at “Pyongyang Speed”, too, with signs of rapid framework assembly visible since the beginning of May.//Two Seoul-based experts said that the officials working in the Ministry of People’s Security would likely soon be enjoying a “modern workplace environment.” “
This demonstrates that the emphasis on modernization in North Korea is not simply limited to factories or production lines, but even to government buildings,” said Dr. Lim Eul-chul, a professor at the Institute for Far Eastern Studies (IFES) at Kyungnam University. “We have to keep in mind that all of North Korean public institutions are focusing on earning foreign currency. This project is evidence that the ministry has earned ‘a lot’ of money over the past few years.” “It is possible that they have deconstructed that to build a high rise style office, in line with the recent construction trend in the North’s capital,” Dr. Cheong Seong-chang, senior research fellow at the Sejong Institute, told NK News. “
The number of computers and cell phone users in North Korea has increased considerably during the last few years, which would naturally lead to the increasing necessity of the police to have a modern working place to do their job better.”
