North Korean Explains Why Kim Regime Will Not Conduct Chinese Style Reforms
|Over at Rimjin-gang they have an interview posted with one of their North Korean contacts in regards to the recent Workers’ Party Convention. The interview concludes with the North Korean explaining why the Kim regime will never implement Chinese style reforms that would improve the well being of the people:
Q: What is your expectation from Kim Jong-un regime?
A: I hope that they would open the door like China. Frankly speaking, if they do so, there would be no people who flee from their hometown (North Korean defectors). I don’t know why they fear so much about opening, or reform. While drinking, an official, one of my acquaintances, said: “If we open like China, we would be overthrown. So the top never open our door.”
Q: Do you mean that they don’t try to reform since they know their regime to be overthrown even if the opening would bring better off for the people?
A: Absolutely! Those son-of-bitches (Kim Jong-un and his followers) think that they should survive to the last. That is why they don’t. (open the door) [Rimjin-gang]
