lifted from there...i like the bit about no promotion ever.

 

 

Lowest labour cost in Asia.

 

Highly qualified, loyal and motivated personnel. Education, housing and health service is provided free to all citizens. As opposed to other Asian countries, worker's will not abandon their positions for higher salaries once they are trained.

 

Lowest taxes scheme in Asia. Especially for high-tech factories. Typical tax exemption for the first two years.

 

No middle agents. All business made directly with the government, state-owned companies.

 

Stable. A government with solid security and very stable political system, without corruption.

 

Full diplomatic relations with most EU members and rest of countries.

 

New market. Many areas of business and exclusive distribution of products (sole-distribution).

 

Transparant legal work. Legal procedures, intellectual rights, patents and warranties for investors settled.

Isn't there a widespread shortage of food in NK? Yet the government are trying to develop nuclear weapons. Or is that all propoganda??

 

According to the Swiss guy, food was/is readily available in Pyongyang, and to a lesser extent in the country. Even out in the country people were thin but not emaciated. He reckoned the regime had quietly learnt from places like Vietnam where a change in farming policy created better yields.

 

An argument made by many to justify the army etc is that the Korean (both North and South) mentality is that Koreans are the supreme race and everything must be done to preserve that. They also have an absolute respect for authority, allowing fowk like Kim Il Sung to take over and do as he pleased.

Whilst the consequences would be fairly dire, I loved the US ambassador to North Korea being asked at a press conference about the North Korean's statement that they planned to aim their next missile at America. Propaganda or not, he looked worried.

Propaganda, min.

 

Remember during the Cold War we were fed the line that Russian Women were all 500lb weight lifters with beards and tits down to their knees.... and it turns out their women are fucking stunning.

 

Believe nothing.
