Excerpt -
(Kyodo) _ North Korea's ruling party has ordered children of North Korean diplomats and other representatives stationed overseas to return home, for reasons unknown, a South Korean daily reported Tuesday. "The Workers' Party of Korea recently issued a directive to overseas missions that children of diplomats and representatives send their children home," the Joongang Ilbo newspaper quoted a source well-versed in North Korean affairs as saying in Seoul.
The reason remains unclear, but another Seoul-based expert on North Korea was quoted as saying it may be related to preventing defection of diplomats.

I wonder how many diplomats may defect based on this action.

This is a move typical of a regime concerned about defections.

Typical of a system whereby the Person is owned by the State.

Re #10
I am sure that Chia Head is not really thrilled to see his own sons, who educated in the West, behave like spoiled Western kids. Imagine thousands of diplomats' kids contaminating the minds of Pyongyang's elite.
Lately, he must see it everywhere in Pyongyang, which make it increasingly difficult to maintain god-like status for him and his family.
