Even the sanctions against Cuba are less draconian. Also keep in mind that the Korean war is technically not over yet! When you don't have international trade you have to rely entirely on the resources within your borders, that can leave you with deficits in all sorts of things if you want to develop your technology, and it's really bad when it comes to growing an economy, so DPRK has to make do with an economy that grows very very little if at all. Relevance, or, not being squeezed by the United States at all times, is their ticket out of being a backwater that needs to do secret things in order to acquire resources it does not have within its borders.
9:35 This was done in my homeland too. I'm from Venezuela, which is pretty much Latin America's version of North Korea in all but name. For years I was saving up money so I could flee the country, only for the government to render that money useless by slicing off five zeroes off of our currency. Effectively making everyone's savings be worth pennies under the new denomination. It ruined nearly 3 years of hard savings but I learned my lesson and so did the rest of the country. Most transactions are done in dollars these days, and when I resumed saving money, I would exchange it, at outrageously inflated rates, to US Dollars to preserve their value. It was worth it, I eventually managed to break free by the tail end of 2019
@CableTvTomato Comunist states don't work partly because of the international sanctions and media demonización perpetrated by the US as a result of not paying tributes to them (politically speaking). I'm not saying comunism Is the answer, nor I like it. But I realize what happens when you deviate from the influence of the imperium.
@CableTvTomato well to be fair thier has never been a communist state to be allowed to exist and survive on its own without capitalist powers trying to destroy it.
I was surprised Austria would sell ski lifts to NK after the Swiss refused. Turns out your video was misleading: the ski lifts are Austrian made but supplied to NK by China.
They make money by selling coal and other natural resources. They also have very limited foreign investments where they run sweatshops near the Chinese border. You'd know this if this were an objective video that doesn't view North Korea with anti-commie blinkers on, but then again most videos like these on NK aren't truthful. The place still sucks though xD

At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage. Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial counselor who works with a verified Finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.
You’re right! Working with a financial advisor who has worked in a solid financial firm for a long time, such as John D. Heppolette, will actually set you up for success in life. I'm delighted I was able to reach out to him earlier this year because while others were grumbling about the downturn in the markets due to the state of the economy, I was busy learning from him and eventually made over seven figures in the first quarter alone, which is why it's always good to join the correct community.

I honestly really really hope that one day, a revolution happens in North Korea. The citizen's will, at some point, have a revolution. The sooner, the better, but of course in a realistic view point, it won't be happening anytime soon. I of course could be wrong, there is always that chance. I just hope someday the citizen's form a small group that begins the start of a revolution. It only takes one human soul, to start something that can make history, and grab the world's eyes and hearts, that one soul, grabbing the attention and gaining the trust of others to finally want change. Will spark something the entire world will be watching in hope of good news. The world would hear and see possible killings of the innocent. It takes guts, blood, and tears to make change, a change for the history books to be remembered by the human race.

I think I once heard something like, "Trade was the thing that contributed to the outcompetition of the Homo Sapiens against other human species. " "It contributed greatly to human development." China also once did the ridiculous thing of forbidding trade and I read in a novel about the inconvenience and agony such insanity caused.
That was in the 90s, and it's one of the major events that forced them to become very self-sufficient. Nowadays the only claims of starvation in North Korea you'll see are in clickbaity titles and propaganda pieces - even according to the CIA World fact book they are actually fairing much better than other countries with similar GDP per capita levels... Edit: Of course there is scarcity of certain goods in North Korea, part of it due to the regime's not-giving-a-fuck-about-the-people "military first" policy and part from international sanctions, but scarcity of specific goods is a much more mild issue than, you know, mass starvation...
@@georgewilson7432 those are facts even the CIA, the biggest enemies of the Kim regime, accept. If you do not, you are the one denying reality here my friend. Nobody is "defending the Kims", but there is a lot of stupid propaganda about North Korea out there on the Internet and few facts. As I said, if you think they are experiencing mass starvation nowadays you have just bought into that propaganda...

About Kim Il sung - what does "education was poor, Korean mediocre" mean? I'm sure the man spoke fluent Korean so what does that mean exactly?
Actually, I think he spent most of his life away from Korea. As such, his Korean was poor.
@@wannabehistorian371 Ahhh. Thanks
Maybe it could also simply mean that his grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, etc. sucked? Lots of native speakers of a language have poor grammar, spelling, or reading.
The man almost didnt speak any korean
did he seriously barely speak korean o.o
0:28 why does the right flank of the hotel look like it's falling
that transition to the sponsor was extremely smooth
PolyMatter:makes a video about north korea
Kento Bento : its look like i need to make a video about china then.
0:40 yeah and they’re “totally” the only one who’s abusing human rights here
The fact that we get free documentaries on UA-cam by PolyMatter is truly a gift 👍
Thank you for making these videos. The mainstream media makes it so hard to tell what's actually going on outside.
How North Korea Earns money:
They dont
Korea is in the title... How did you misspell it?
@@TheWempor He is speaking about North Bali *Koria* village in Nalbari Tehsil, Assam India. They too don't earn money, but wish PolyMatter would do a video on them as well.
Same way Kim-Jong-Un's mother does.
The Kim family gets rich tho.
When you’re so communist that you realize capitalism is the best option
@Noah Castro mfw Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ceascescu etc. we’re all communist authoritarian dictators
@Robert Lee Spain was never communist
@Robert Lee yugoslavian regime was much better than all countries listed tbh lol
Capitalism can integrate a bit socialism if it wants to, but Socialism can never survive w/o Capitalism.
@@Aecrim1 Yugoslavia secret police were more brutal than the kgb lol
I honestly really really hope that one day, a revolution happens in North Korea. The citizen's will, at some point, have a revolution. The sooner, the better, but of course in a realistic view point, it won't be happening anytime soon. I of course could be wrong, there is always that chance. I just hope someday the citizen's form a small group that begins the start of a revolution. It only takes one human soul, to start something that can make history, and grab the world's eyes and hearts, that one soul, grabbing the attention and gaining the trust of others to finally want change. Will spark something the entire world will be watching in hope of good news. The world would hear and see possible killings of the innocent. It takes guts, blood, and tears to make change, a change for the history books to be remembered by the human race.
It won't happen. the neighbors will prevent it
@@odoggow8157 you alright? The dude was just trying to say something positive but realistic. I could pretty it up for you:
Someone will overthrow the merciless dictatorship with kind words and they'll all live happily ever after. That better?
Odog Gow ok
@@odoggow8157
Negatives: Violence and Bloodshed for about a few months or years.
Positives: Freedom and Peace for the many generations to come, for decades.
You choose if it's worth it, but the majority thinks it is. Also, if there's no revolution, The people will continue to suffer.
Like I said, your choice.
Odog Gow u good ?
Damn this is a good video. Very respectable journalism 💖
Kudos to the creator of this video for acknowledging North Korea's self sufficiency. That takes balls.
This was a great analysis! Well done and thanks
Thank you for making this video. It was one of your best yet imo, and corrected a lot of my misconceptions.
Nice video!!
Thank you very much.
And welcome to my @goguryo11
There a lot of korean scenary and temple. etc.
I JUST stumbled on this channel and I'm so excited to go deep down this rabbit hole. This is only my 2nd video.
Your videos are so well done!
Thank you for such great content!!
This could’ve been a way shorter vid. North Korea are sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends
When you’re so early the only comment is “when you’re so early there’s no good comments”
As a country that could have disappeared from the world map in anytime, I must say that their ways of making money to keep the nation and its regime alive is impressive.
That was one of the best of your videos i've seen. You must have had been on many wild goose chases through the reseach for it. Well done!
Agreed
RESEARCH???????????????????
THIS IS UA-cam OR DID I TURN LEFT WHEN I WAS SUPPOSE TO TURN LEFT????
As a Venezuelan, this hits too close to heart. Too many parallels!
THE WESTS GREED SINCE WE GOT NUKES HAS DONE IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD! ITS SICK HOW PPL THEN PUT THE BLAME ON THOSE LEFT TO SORT THEIR COUNTRIES AFTER WE RAPE OR PILLAGE THEM
This is exactly the current situation in our country, only that Venezuela doesn't have nukes, we have the UN and other internacional institutions filled with a lot of dumb pseudo-socialist corrupt politicians
@@gilbertozambrano6182 There is no socialism and there is no capitalism
*its just corruption*
What, did the swiss refuse to sell you ski lifts as well?
It's so heartbreaking that people are trapped living in North Koreo under poverty and no freedom at all. 💔
koreo 💔
That ad at the end was one of the most seamless I've ever seen.
Haha yes
You are a great writer. Great presentation!
I think I once heard something like, "Trade was the thing that contributed to the outcompetition of the Homo Sapiens against other human species. " "It contributed greatly to human development." China also once did the ridiculous thing of forbidding trade and I read in a novel about the inconvenience and agony such insanity caused.
China and North Korea: *exsist*
This Channel: *it's free real estate*
exist*

"Their genius is self-sufficiency".
"Three million dead in the famine".
Okay.
George Wilson well, people need time to learn and adapt
That was in the 90s, and it's one of the major events that forced them to become very self-sufficient. Nowadays the only claims of starvation in North Korea you'll see are in clickbaity titles and propaganda pieces - even according to the CIA World fact book they are actually fairing much better than other countries with similar GDP per capita levels...
Edit: Of course there is scarcity of certain goods in North Korea, part of it due to the regime's not-giving-a-fuck-about-the-people "military first" policy and part from international sanctions, but scarcity of specific goods is a much more mild issue than, you know, mass starvation...
It's always the CIA. Those pesky little spooks. I hope you are not defending the Kims for free, little buddy.
@@georgewilson7432 those are facts even the CIA, the biggest enemies of the Kim regime, accept. If you do not, you are the one denying reality here my friend. Nobody is "defending the Kims", but there is a lot of stupid propaganda about North Korea out there on the Internet and few facts. As I said, if you think they are experiencing mass starvation nowadays you have just bought into that propaganda...
GEORGE YOUR AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT YOUR GREED IS A DIRECT CAUSE OF THEIR SUFFERING AND ANYONE IN THE WEST THAT IS TOO BLIND OR STUPID TO UNDERSTAND THAT FACT NEEDS TO GO GET A FUKING BRAIN AND A BETTER SENSE OF MORALS
1:30 - 2:15... Isn't that the exact same attitude the USA has whenever someone else denies them access to oil, I mean, whenever they feel needing to "implement democracy" somewhere else?
North Korea is like Kim Jong Un's Disney World
yeah, and just like in Disney World, normal people can't afford the merchandise and food.
ONLY IN UR WEE AMOEBA SIZE BRAIN, ARE U SERIOUSLY THAT STUPID???? COULD YOU DO A BETTER JOB???? I VERY MUCH DOUBT IT
One of the only non Chinese speakers who pronounces yuan correctly. Yuan= yu-en. I appreciate that.
Swiss: sorry I can't sell the skilifts
Kim Jong Un: nuke them, NOW!
"How North Korea make Money?"
Me: They make money?
Im still in shock that NK has electricity.
@Golden Eagle Many people don't know the south used to be in much worse condition. But the USSR fell while the USA rose farther than ever completely reversing things.
The suicide rate in South Korea is amongst the highest in the world. In North Korea they smoke Cannabis & chill out.
@@dnickaroo3574 no wonder everybody calls NK the best Korea!
Swiss: *no chairlifts for you*
North Korea: *It’s treason, then.*
Thanks for this video, I learned a lot.
Hi Polymatter,
A nice and informing video as always! You are really talented!
Will you make a video about transitioning countries, it would be nice to learn about the process of changing from a closed system to a whole new open one.
1:38 the Dennis Rodman signed basketball is a great addition
They seem to be back at step 1: raise tensions (1:44) and we'll see how it plays out this time.
Well how would you feel if you had to walk all the way up a mountain each time you wanted to go skiing?
@Jordyn Vickers lmaoooo
Especially if you're Kim Jong-un!
Switzerland makes everything difficult.
Like your channel, objective and informative
Where did China learn to manage NK?
From skillshare!
you know i bought curiositystream from reallifelore a week before the collab with nebula started lucky me
11.49s - one of the best segways I've ever seen. Kudos on the video but that transition into the CTA at the end was genius. Haha. Peace.
I've just started watching. My anticipated answer, seeing as this is a PolyMatter video: China.
Correct
"how nk makes money"
nk gov't: ...it just does lol
nicw video btw i would suggest you to explain in more simplifying informal english as other geopolytical youtubers explanation is more easier to grasp
1:16 WOW, such real typing.
Whatever kiddo
Wait, aren't your vids released on Nebula first?
that ad was smooth af
History about South Korea and North Korea should have been also described in brief as it is very relevant.
plz subscsribe to our channel ,it will help us alot ua-cam.com/video/5uy46o6H-Us/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/eyk8YLakmCo/v-deo.html
The Korean war technically never ended
It is formally ended now.
So from what i understood North Korea is the beggar with the glock
