Come to North Korea: We Hardly EVER Take Hostages
The article is a good read that explains the location is actually quite a distance from the N.Korean population.....I suspect it will be utilized greatly once NKorea opens for corporate business and they begin rebuilding the country.
There’s a lot of Investors chopping at the bit to go in there. The resort would accomodate them and meetings...while they build the cities infastructure.
It will be highly satisfying to see a CAT 5 Typhoon obliterate that island.
Mammoths are still extinct.
Any McDonalds or grocery stores open to the masses?
The Sun has the story now. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6295244/inside-north-koreas-massive-new-holiday-resort-with-three-mile-beach-so-would-you-go/
I take this as another sign NK is coming along.
Though “tourism being one of the few industries not targeted by US sanctions,” OTOH “Wonsan and Kalma airport are also important defence areas, used for large-scale artillery drills and as the launch site for dozens of missile tests in recent years.”
Shoddy shitty construction work at best. Same as their showcase (single) ski resort at Masikryong where only government employees posing as skiers are rolled out for an hour or so to act when the likes of NBC-TV visit to do a reportin which hundreds of workers perished. Youd never catch me spending a night in one of those death traps.
NK is one big frigggin Potemkin Village, a Hollywood set. Dont fall for it!
I agree with your observation.
Seems like a good sign.
Yeah, I can agree about businesses as a slave workforce is getting harder to come by. Even the Chinese want homes, phones, TVs and multiple meals a day.
The history of the site is that NK started construction on its own and then everything ground to a halt. Then, all of a sudden, construction took off again.
Makes me wonder if China’s making a gift to Kim.
China should be able to build a decent building.
(Hey, maybe Trump can arrange for the decoration contractors!)
I could see a parody of the Sony ad from the movie Crazy People: “North Korean manufacturing, because South Koreans are just too damn tall.”
Both China and Russia want dibs on N.Korea for business etc. You’re probably right that they’re investing in this project....and will in others very quickly when the doors swing open.
Well, it could just be Potemkin Village stuff, as AIT said.
The big news would be ‘who is paying for this?’. If NK, then Potemkin Village is very likely.
Either or it’s interesting. I thought as much with Kims new airport etc. and building up the areas where the elites live with shops etc. Has he been doing this to really accomodate them?..or was he already considering the future?..Who knows..
