There are growing concerns among rights groups and aid agencies about North Korea’s chronic food shortages. Many experts who keep an eye on the reclusive state say the problem is growing and deaths due to starvation are likely to continue. Some see signs that the country is in the grip of its worst famine since the “Arduous March” blamed for up to 3 million deaths in the 1990s. Others, however, say conditions are not nearly as bad as they look, thanks to Chinese foreign aid propping up the economy. So what do we really know about the food crisis in one of the world’s most isolated countries?

The most disgusting part is that they refuse food aid from the UN. I sometimes get the impression that Kim sees his people as a toy army. Like, he doesn't realize these are real people with real feelings and real needs.
Facts! It’s just the more weapons that happier he is. What about food!
Im surprised he doesn't take the food and then sell it. That's what Assad does with UN food aid.
Yes and the situation got extremely much worse thanks to COVID-19 and the pandemic which now that government along with China are both angry and increasing security with each other of people not getting in or out and other tight restrictions which you can Google and RUclips all about.
i get the feeling if the aid doesnt come from their allies (russia, china) they (as in leadership) doesnt want it
The UN would remove sanctions on food and agricultural machinery and fertilizer if they actually cared about the food situation
By looking at the thumbnail I am gonna assume that father and daughter are not so hungry.
This was my first thought.
They cant distribute food throughout the country even if they grew enough because they spent their money on missiles instead of trucks and fuel.
No. They do not have enough arable land to support themselves, so routinely rely on aid. Poor economic management, flooding and corruption are the major causes of the famines
You are both right. There is a lack of food because of floods, etc., but an enormous amount of money that could go towards buying food, improving farm efficiency, etc. goes towards Kim Jong's obsession with missiles; which I guess could go under "poor economic management". @@yearzeroism
I honestly think it's way worse than anyone think. All we see is captil of North Korea, but the rest are of the country is is in terrible state
Nah. Most of what you see on the US state-controlled internet about NK were anti-communist propaganda.
Get the facts straight from NK in these videos:

@@blackmamba4965 Hi Kim.
@YANG CHAOYUE CEO well, if there's no problem and it's all just western propaganda, then DPRK should let the international observers and aid organizations in to verify that there's no problem. Otherwise, you're lying.
@@sobsagTypical that anybody who doesn't join in with the rest is vilified. Like the idiot calling someone Kim for not agreeing with him.
Free Speech, eh? Hypocrisy really.
You've been to the rest of the country? I thought not!

@@oktoberina At least he's always smiling and clapping.
Fun Fact: The DPRK was the leading economy of the 2 countries up until before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1988. In ‘94 the collectively west voted with the UN to put the heaviest sanctions any country has seen on the DPRK, these sanctions included even the export of grains to the true Korea which caused the massive famine of the DPRK. The west purposely did this to starve their country. Despite all this the Kim’s have made the DPRK into a glorious socialist paradise. Glory to the true Korea.
It's horrible..Their 'leader' if you must call him that, is alright with his own people 's suffering.
Also it's getting worse now with this country's impossible to escape from being more in reality.
@@kellychuang8373 How the government manages to keep the entire country's population cutoff from the rest of the world in this internet age, is baffling.
@@Dream_more_age_less Yes it is and also here's something to look up now involving North Korea that regime just executed 9 people for allegedly running a beef smuggling ring. Anyway Google all about it by searching North Korean smuggling.
North Korea works hard not to let the outside world ever know the full extent of truth.
They learned it from the propaganda masters, russia and china
Food crisis? You'd think there was American-style obesity epidemic, looking at Kim Jong Un.
He eating all the food
@@Justin-jk1tgI mean when the UN donated food the regime took it all
@@Justin-jk1tg the UN and food charities gave the citizens food , he kept it to himself that’s what feeding him , and his father did the same thing, the person that breeds giant meat rabbits was generous enough to give him some rabbits to breed for meat and him and his men had a feast the same day with 3 whole rabbits that were supposed to be bred , and that’s the reason the man gave him a couple bc he knew the game , the leader will steal food that’s meant for the people
I have read reports of cannibalism occurring in North Korea as a result of the food shortages which is very disturbing.
Oh, so you believe the media?
I have read reports of the fake reports you read
@@MarcoJr666 More credible than you...
Stop feeding on fake news. It is the usual democratic propaganda trying to demonize all the communist countries to tell the world that only democratic countries are safe. They have been spreading the same lies against ALL the communist countries to elevate their own failed democratic system.
Eventhough NK is poor due to the evil US sanctions that banned other countries from trading with NK resulting in zero income for NK, its govt still managed to provide its people with free fully furnished homes, free food, free education including university level, free medicals, no taxes, fees or bills to pay. NKoreans have zero debts and they are free from all foreign forces.
Hence they are still living on their feet with complete freedom while their southern brothers in SK are living on their knees under the thumb of the US terrorists. Otherwise, they may suffer the same fate as NK if they do not obey the US dictators.
@@MarcoJr666 Cannibalism was recorded in most cases of mass famines. If this is estimated to 3 million victims NO FREAKING DOUBT it is true
It’s no secret that there are years of rumors of North Koreas population being starved from basic food necessities and at first you think it’s just toxic media but when you hear the same thing decades after decade you know it has to mean soemthing
Not just that. North Koreans as a whole, on average, are shorter/thinner than South Koreans. There are still shared genetics between the two countries so genetics aren't the problem/root cause. Malnourishment DOES stunt growth, and obviously someone who is starving isn't going to look like an average American weight-wise.
Generations of children being nutritionally deprived. A small portion of the population are having their needs met... They are N Korea's one presenters. Think about that!
Why should we care?
This video is just another anti-Communist propaganda.

So why are South Koreans shorter than the Japanese? South Koreans must be starving by your logic.
Thank you for posting these longer form news and history pieces. Even though brief and forced to truncate some of the information It’s very valuable. Growing up in American schools there don’t really much about many of these things, and it’s it helps to give history in context to understand these things.
You didn’t go to an American school and few people can understand what’s really going on in North Korea. There is not a lot of information available and a lot of political noise.
Yup, once I learned history, I was surprised by how a tiny change in the past could have massive reverberations in the future.
This video is just another anti-Communist propaganda based on nothing but lies.
Here are the facts:
Eventhough NK is poor due to the evil US sanctions that banned other countries from trading with NK resulting in zero income for NK for more than 30 years, its govt still managed to provide its people with free fully furnished homes, free food, free education including university level, free medicals, no taxes, fees or bills to pay.

If you want to learn more about NK, you should get direct infos from videos like this one "[Korean World 3] 11 episodes: Is it worthwhile to revisit Future Scientist Street?"
You’re wrong. The isolation of DPRK is the reason why it is less know, which a report inside the country sometimes lead you into a prison. This is true to most every countries in the world.
@@Pearloryx Report?
There are no private news media in NK.
Lots of foreign tourists visits NK every year.
And lots of NKoreans go for holidays in China.
More than 70,000 NKoreans are working in various countries.
The isolation of NK was the result of the US led sanctions against it for beating them in the korean war and for having nukes when the US itself has more than 6,000 nukes and they also destroyed various countries killing millions of innocent civilians but has never been punished or sanctioned by any country.
A rabbit farmer from Germany sent North Korea 12 giant rabbits (4 males and 8 females) at the request of NK to help raise them as a viable food source for the population.
What happened to them?
Glorious Leader had his chefs serve them all up at a banquet.
If only the North Korean civilians weren't as brainwashed as they are, they really should storm Kim Jong un's palace and take that fat pig of a dictator and eat him instead
KJU ate em all... thanks for the rabbits. They are delicious. Send more please.
Communist leaders love a capitalist lifestyle… they just dont want you to have it.
An example of the danger of pride. The DPRK could accept food aid from abroad, but simply refuses to do so for the most part.
Cuz they don’t want people to see how bad it really is but we all know just not to the fullest extent let alone anyone from the outside world
A bunch of Countries were sending food/supplies/fuel, etc... to DPRK, he never paid for any of it. This was done for months until they were told point blank NOT to send anything more to the DPRK as NONE of it was going to the people. Kim took it all for himself.
The only Country giving to them is China
They do not want food aid with strings attached.
@@Sasen91 it’s a form of self reliance they want to do everything themselves
@@tristanclarkhawes976 there isnt even much for "Strings", typically even when sending aid to dictatorships those sending the aid usually just want some assurances that the aid is going to the citizens and isnt being pocketed by the regime. North Korea does that quiet often either selling the aid to pocket a profit or giving the "aid" out as payment in return for working for the regime, essentially using the food in lieu of a "pay check". That's one reason why not much aid has gone to Afghanistan recently; the Taliban have been withholding it and giving food to government employees or selling it instead of distributing the food to the citizens. That's one major reason why Live Aid was a bit of a disaster: they sent tons of aid but the regime pocketed almost all of it because there werent any strings attached or much monitoring.
with no money, being Monday, payday is friday and with no possibility of cash advance, i can confirm starving is horrible.
If you have a job and gets yourself in a situation to starve than that's your fault.
Don't spend entire salary as soon as it comes. Keep some reserve till next salary. It's not starvation.
with reports of a dire situation for the country's population. It's frustrating that we have limited access to information from North Korea, so it's difficult to know the true extent of the crisis. However, the comparison to the famine in the 1990s, known as the arduous March, is worrying. The crisis in the 1990s triggered a large outflow of North Koreans desperate to escape poverty, hunger, and devastation, with an estimated 3 million North Koreans dying from starvation or related illnesses.
It's also concerning that Pyongyang has been ramping up its nuclear weapons program in recent years, with an unprecedented number of ballistic and other missile tests recorded in the nation's history. The high level of spending on defense is also alarming, with the country spending about one-fourth of its estimated GDP on defense in 2019. Economic sanctions have been implemented, but these have had unintended consequences for the country's population, with those at the lowest levels of the pyramid suffering the most. Overall, it's a worrying situation and I hope that aid can reach those who need it most.
If they didn't have nukes the U.S. would have implemented another puppet regime in the DPRK's place.

ironic, they invaded iraq due to weapons of mass destruction, they don't invade north korea because they actually have weapons of mass destruction

Democracy is why South Korea economic boom started and continues today. Freedoms, cracking down on corruption, economic liberalization.
South Korea went from dictatorship to democracy, North Korea just kept getting worse, more and more repressive.
South Korea GDP is about 100x of North Korea now.
Because the owner of the money printing machine is SK's ally. Very easy to be prosperous when you just print money and others are giving their resources for your printed paper.
Let's see how rich SK will be when US dollar loses its global role and this alliance no longer beneficial to SK.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd Economics 101, printing leads to inflation then hyper inflation.
Bear in mind USSR was an economic powerhouse, China GDP #2. Neither lack funds.
South Korea is prosperous due to liberalization. When China followed Western economic liberalization is when they started becoming prosperous. Economic liberalization is just one part of the equation.
@@b21raider27 USSR was dirt poor, it was only 25% of global economy in best years.
China became prosperous because the US and China had a honeymoon period After collapse of the USSR. What kind of liberalization are you talking about? 80% of Chinese economy is state owned one way or the other. And even if it's not state owned China can order them to do whatever it wants.
How liberal are Saudi Arabia and UAE? Why these regimes are so wealthy and for example Iraq, Libya, Venezuela are not?

@@JamesSmith-ix5jd lol that is full of false information
Years ago, I learned how people in Finland survived during a famine by making flour out of the cambium layer of tree bark.
That's what starving people in North Korea do during a famine, they eat trees and grass to survive. Very sad.
As was mentioned in the video: other countries deal with food shortages in a rational manner virtually making starvation a past sad memory. How a great leader like this clown can watch millions go thru such horrific deaths. Starvation is not a painless death. The suffering from no food intake is something that can't be ignored, distracted from. It's constantly there, pounding in the mind, internal organs and muscles all screaming in their own way for nutrition, essential molecules before cellular death occurs. Only a monster of tremendous uncaring could orchestrate famine in this manner.
"past sad memory" is not quite accurate. There are still people "virtually" starving.
And it's bad that NK doesn't have much in the way of communication so it's too hard for the people to coordinate a mass rebellion, at this point only an internal rebellion and the toppling of the Kim regime would save the North Korean people. The entire ruling family needs to go.
Too bad the civilians are too brainwashed by the regime, otherwise I'd bet they would've stormed Kim's palace long ago and tore him apart for food.
The "monster of tremendous uncaring" is the United States which bullied the United Nations into imposing the most severe sanctions regime a country has ever endured just because it is seen as a threat to an ally. Not only have food imports been severely curtailed due to the collapse in exports since 2017, but the import of oil based products has been limited leading to shortages of the inputs for producing fertilisers, pesticides and plastic sheeting.
It's really funny since in RoK you can see elderly that can barely walk being forced to work because otherwise they would also starve....
Ask to the country who has keep 70 years of sanctions imposed by EEUU.
“How hungry are people in North Korea?”
*”Unfortunately if i say, I will die.”*
It's always one man, throughout history and today.
Saying North Korea has a food crisis is like saying the Great Famine in Ireland was due to the failure of the potato crop.
China isn't being held accountable enough on this whole situation.
It sure don't look like Kim is missing any meals.

Agreed , Doesn't Look Like That Cry For Help Will Be Answered In Our Lifetime Though
Some one needs to do something about the Kim dynasty what Kim Jon un does to his people is disgusting
I'd love to do something, unfortunately I'm powerless to do so.
If I could I would teleport into Kim's palace at night, kidnap him and take him back to the West and put him into the most disgusting and dirtiest prison cell in the US I can find and leave him there. Then I'd tell the other inmates he's a p*dophile (because many inmates really hate those) so they would beat him up

Real, but not as prevalent as Reuter suggested, and the majority of the food crisis was caused by severe US sanctions, not by the North Korean government. I got this information from a South Korean organization that works together with North Korea in times of food crisis.
Thank you for sharing this information.
devastating.

The leader is spending money on needless stuff , like missiles . He needs to spend more on what really matters , like fixing the country and its problems . It's all about what he wants , not what's needed . 😢
I don’t think he cares that much…..
Kim spends all his time on housing, education, food and healthcare for the people. That is the socialist agenda of the DPRK. He can only do so much with his resources because the DPRK is the heaviest sanctioned country in the world along with Russia.

This starvation is a disaster what is the regime doing to help instead of making unnecessary evil weapons? Make peace not war.
Poor people 😢
The people of the North Korea could always capture the Kim family members and eat them. It will be the feast.
Imagine one day everyone wants to overthrow them but that's highly unlikely
And once again why would they? The DPRK is the true Korea. The Kim’s liberated Korea from Japanese occupation. And it was the leading economy until 1988. As China emerges as the world power and the BRICS taking over the US dollar that will only means the DPRK will return to its former glory

There are stories that some poor N.Korean became a cannibal because the food shortages was very severe. When winter came, they didn't have enough foods and only ate once for every 3 days.

Sadden and lil upset how a family can rule a country and mismanage and deprive and starve its people 🤦♂️
Depressing thing is the regime would have collapsed multiple times by now but they're propped up by China simply because the PRC is worried that if the Kims get deposed the country may reunite with South Korea and that would result in a US ally on their border, and the PRC sacrificed hundreds of thousands of their own people in the Korean war to prevent that so sacrificing North Korean civilians is a small price to pay in their eyes.

Lol what a loser

They don't even have lights.. the lack of food isn't far from that
The scale of North Korea's food problem is the equivalent to the scale of minor water damage the titanic has
North Korea has closed its country too much from the outside world and does not want to follow the example of China, which had already opened up since 1978 when Deng Xiaoping was in charge.
I wold be happy to donate some food to the people of North Korea if I could. I don't have much but could give some and if others chipped in we might be able to help them eat.
It would be meaningless unless the aid is distributed directly to civilians because otherwise the fat pig of a dictator would steal it all.
You may blame UN that their sanctions are causing economical damage that results in more people suffering but it is their stubborn maniac rulers who don't spend money on truly needed things who are responsible. And looking even deeper those people who die from starvation today are dying due to failings of their past past generations back to 1948 who let those maniacs to come to power. Now their children and grandchildren have to pay so havily for their faults and wrong choices. I would be glad to help them if I could and it is the most bitter thing - we even can't. Only solution is to eradicate NK "elite" and it will cost the world too much.
It’s so sad that the people are too scared to change the system. Surely they must know the truth.
Kim jong UN isn't missing any MEALS !!
...how many meals would you or your family miss?
Nuclear weapon program is VERY expensive. That's why only the big and rich countries with stable economies can afford to maintain one let alone having a huge stockpile. Sure big brother China is always there to support but even if N. Korean people are not literally dying of starvation they surely are starving of knowledge and exposure that the rest of the world has to offer.
Those emaciated babies were heartbreaking
How to know when no one ever go to see? It all about thinking, true or not just anyhow say.
The Dear leader of North Korea and his family are not in danger of starving. That is for sure.
Kim is looking plump as ever
Kim Jong Un has mostly fat and no muscle
Looking at their leader and his daughter,they are very well fed.
So sad to even watch this crisis
North Korea having food crisis? By looking the body size of the ruler and her daughter, will you still ask "who took the food supply"?
Nuclear is more important than food security of its people the sad reality I hope the North korean will be free someday
It has been proven that South Korea is more capable of improving the welfare of its people than North Korea
North Korea is mountainous country, it doesn’t have large agricultural lands. With sanctions from US, of course it constantly run into food shortage issues. If the democratic republic of Mongol was sanctioned in similar way, Mongol will run into food shortage issue too.
China should aid North Korea in terms of food supply for humanitarian reasons.
Communist are menace to society. Until these supreme leader are kicked out no sustainable solutions are far from reality.

Thank goodness one person has a grasp of reality when it comes to North Korea.
The leader’s family doesn’t look like they have missed many meals. 😅
I can confirm before watching this video that they are very hungry. You don't need to watch this
North Korea is under UN sanction that they can barely trade with any other country. That's why it is suffering from poverty. Before the sanction, NK was actually developing at a decent pace. But that's what they chose as the sanction was a result of the nuclear weapon that they were developing. And Russia was the one who gave them the nuclear technology.
It's not the nuclear technology that's at fault, it's the foreign countries. You're forgetting: The countries that sanctioned them already have functional nukes.
Longtao, you have cause and effect completely backwards.
If Kim Jung Un would stop threatening South Korea, Japan, and the U.S., and spending 25% of his country's GDP on missles, his people would have plenty to eat, and other countries would be happy to trade with him.
That ignores all the reasons why South Korea's economy surpassed North Korea's in the 1960's. North Korea received plenty of aid from the USSR and China during the Cold War. Unfortunately for the North Korean people, military investment had a far higher priority than economic investment.
Similarly, Park Chung-hee opened up South Korea to foreign direct investment in the 1960's. Even China started accepting FDI in the 1980's with the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. North Korea didn't accept foreign investment until 2002 with the Rasun Free Trade Zone. Too little, too late.
BS. The sanction at the UN is because of China and Russia allowing them to pass and also the Nkorean government not being coordinating with them. But i doubt most of those sanctions are being followed mainly after Russia blew up the entire system. Now nkorea is just an after thought when there is rockets tests it´s barely news and that´s a positive development.
let them eat missiles or Nuclear...Kim Jong Un Perhaps
Your country will eat missiles if they keep provoking for war in the Korean Peninsula
I hope the North Korean civilians revolt and take the fat pig to the guillotine for that.
If the French Royals were executed for insinuating that the population should eat cake that fat pig should definitely suffer the guillotine for this.
Without the nukes, the US warmongers would have invaded NK again.
To allow the NKoreans to live well, get your US masters to lift their evil sanctions against NK and allow them to sell their products, produce and resources for incomes.
At the moment NK has zero income because the evil US sanctions banned all countries from trading with NK.
However, things may brightens up since many countries are already ditching the weaponized US dollar which was used to punish countries that refused to kneel and bow to the US dictators.
Please try and get rid of the song in the background!!! It makes really hard to understand what people say
If NK is propped up by China, do mention how much subsidy it receives from China annually. Without the data it’s hard to judge to what degrees china is propping it up if at all.
I don’t understand why all the nations don’t come together and do something about this?! The leader and his daughter are the only ones over weight in that whole entire country?! This is so mind blowing that this is happening right now as we speak! Geez! 😢
Several countries offered help and he turned it down.
@@ebbygal1111 that's how kim control his people. Only him has the key to food sources not other countries. Obey or die..says the fatso
There's a few reasons why:
1. North Korea much like Maoist China, Stalinist USSR, and Leninist Russia, denies the famine is really happening so as to not look weak.
2. Related to #1 they deny foreign aid for famine relief (but will accept it if it's in return for not launching nukes since that makes them look strong).
3. They dont want foreigners in their country
4. Often foreign aid comes with some minor strings attached, typically proof that the aid isnt just going straight to the regime. North Korea and other dictatorships often either take the free aid and use it in place of payment to get their citizens to work for the regime or they sell the aid which is supposed to be free to the citizens. The Kims have done that before since they're extremely greedy and power hungry, and their underlings do the same.
In spite of North Korean militarism and threats foreign countries have time and time again offered and even sent aid to the country. North Korea constantly complains about the US and outright insults the country, both the US government and it's citizens specifically, and even in spite of that the US has sent tons in aid over the years. Just between 1995 and 2007 the US government sent over $1bil in food aid alone with more being sent since from the US government and more yet coming from private US charities and through programs like UNICEF which has been primarily US funded. This isnt a case of the world ignoring a tragedy, it's a case of a Chinese puppet state rebuking foreign aid so they can maintain control over the country.
Karma is coming for North Korea and China already for their evilness mistreatment towards these innocent people.
没事去检查一下脑科 别什么事都扯上我们中国 明白了吗小丑
It's clear to me that SOMEONE'S not going hungry!
I bet if Kim Jon Un skipped a couple meals they wouldn’t have a shortage anymore 😂
They don't have a shortage of missiles

WHY DO THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS LOOK EXTREMLY WELL FED
Only North Korea ? Mates, let's be honest, we are also starving here and there during these days. One man with a job can no longer feed a family well. Yep, all thanks to WEF. Their plan is going well.
PS - While NK got problem due to nature, we are not obviously.
Well, at least Kim has his toy rockets, that's what matters
without the "toy rockets", north korea would not even exist
The timid leader of North Korea does not dare to open itself to the outside world and implement a free market economy like its neighbor South Korea
What can the international community do?
What I want to know is how are these outside agencies like the United Nations Food Security assessment getting these figures about North Korea such as 40% of people are "food insecure"? Or that 2019 was North korea's worst recorded Harvest? I don't doubt any of this is happening because I've been following the reports and documentaries about North Korea's situation a long time. But anyone with common sense knows North Korea isn't going to allow that info to be accessed by outsiders, so how are you getting it?
im so sorry for the people in korea if i was there i would just leave
Don’t feel sorry for them. North Korean’s 🇰🇵 have the best life of any country on the planet. This is just propaganda. There’s so much food and so much to do in NorKor! In fact, NorKor Rules!!!!
Ignore that fool mantis. If you were a typical North Korean citizen, how would you leave?
@@Kaniela-xq8vl , You would leave NK by walking, bicycling, or even skateboarding across the border. You can also leave by flying or taking a boat out of the country. North Korean’s can leave anytime they want too. They DO NOT want to leave their great country. Only a FOOL would want to leave. I wish I was a North Korean citizen with all the perks that come with it. NK RULES!!!
@@mantis10_surf85 oh really? Have you been to that wonderful Paradise? There are no lines of people at any North Korean embassy around the world trying to get a visa to enter the country. I am sure you are joking… Or at least I hope you are. Where would you get the idea that it’s such a wonderful place?
@@Kaniela-xq8vl , Yes, I have been to the amazing NK several times. It’s the best place on Earth. There are no lines, no wait. The peeps love KJU and all of his incredible policies that help everyone live like Kings and Queens. North Korea 🇰🇵, Welcome Home 🤗
Ngl Kim Jong un looks like he eats half of the country's food by himself.
Notice the "dear leader" isn't starving...
Praying 🙏 for our brothers & sisters in N. Korea.
They’re praying for you. They feel bad you’re a subject for capitalist human exploitation paying rent and bills for the rest of your life. Giving up your health for stuff you don’t need, with money you don’t have to impress people you don’t like. They feel bad that you’re brainwashed and indoctrinated by western society.
Sadly many of them will not make it.
I prayed night and day by the river but my country is still poor. After I graduated I realized that it was our caste system.
@@misterbig9025 sane and right conclusion, I wish more people to graduate like you
Would love to see a Korean reunification
But would the Koreans want that? North and South Korea are very different. Just saying :)
No
Under democratic government i will agree.
Most of young South Koreans say NO
USA and Japan don't like that idea
I'm so sorry
oh. well.
Sounds exactly what the US said about the former Soviet Union. Almost word for word even when Americans like Michael Parenti would tell you the reality; the standard of the Soviet union was way higher than that of the US at the time. Right now, crumbling infrastructure and homelessness is rife in the United States but no, we can't talk about that - look over there...people starving in North Korea. You just can't make this up. If the society is "closed" as you say, so you're reporting is what you think aka western propaganda. North Korea is prospering - happy, not pushing kids in genderphobia, no drug problems. Smart scientists building sophisticated nuclear technology. Its communism at its best. Wealth is not restricted to the hands of a few. Free healthcare, no corruption. Sanctions are not working; Russia and China are trading with North Korea.
Every country has homelessness people's and is starving u see them show it on tv? NO
