North Korea and the Outside World

Hello fellow carbon based life forms!

Today we are going to talk about North Korea's relationship with the outside world. This is the last day we are going to talk about North Korea. As i mentioned yesterday, their only ally is China. The reason for this is that they are both communist countries. The Soviet Union also used to be allies with them, but they switched from communism to democracy. After the end of the Korean war, North Korea became sealed off from the rest of the world. Their technology hasn't become anymore advanced than it was when the korean war ended. Most of their machinery still runs on coal. North Korea is the most sealed off society in the world. It is EXTREMELY hard for journalists to enter the country. Whenever something is wrong in the country, they almost always blame the west. They have a very large army, and nuclear weapons. This is what stops other countries from interfering with the human rights violations. there.

Well, thats all for today! Hope you enjoyed. Tomorrow we will be talking about the Syria.
