Chinese manufacturers of phones are genius. Oppo, OnePlus, Xiaomi and Huawei, all very cutting edge technology from native China.

Maybe when the socialists come into power we can use Palantir software on the millionaires and billionaires instead? I heard it's so ineffective and discriminatory, about time though, because they get immunity from this crap

I heard that Cuba is also a world leader in pharmaceutical product research and production.

Reducing stress. It doesn't mean that you should ignore your problems. It's all about trying methods that allow you to cultivate calmness through meditation and breathing, slow conscious breathing is known to have an effect on the brain

The funniest moment was when the UK government was gas lighting China about facial recognition. Years later it comes into force. Any socialist country that seeks to preserve its existence from imperialist subversion is suddenly decontextualised.

Really, a lot of the problems with North Korea's economy isexacerbated by international sanctions, which prevent other countries from exporting goods to the North. Part of the reason why they resort to more sneaky and dishonest ways to fund their countries treasury.

There has been visits to North Korea using investigative journalism, ruling out things like forced state haircuts (sounds ridiculous enough). A lot of these news sources seem to come from dishonest and sensationalised titles and media. I think it's best to look at it from the perspective of investigative media, as North Korea is more secretive than the US media pretends it to not be. So, most reports are just rumours rather than solid investigations.

Neo-liberal media and neoconservative media always uses their billionaire funded think tanks to promote American imperialism, values and economics unto the world. If you think this strategically, North Korea has a lot of mineral resources that are exploitable by America.

Personally, I don't know what goes on in North Korea. Nobody does. The media prevents us from seeing North Korea beyond the spectacles that Western media presents. Such as totalitarian tropes, things like that.

Because the media has manufactured consent and the CIA is known to be an unreliable source of information.
