    Yes, I do trust Russia and China more than the west when it comes to reporting on the DPRK, because they actually go there and don’t report nonsense claims about life there. The DPRK does accept people, it’s largely western countries preventing their own people from visiting. Again, keep up your chauvanism.

    The people of Tibet were not forced to inner cities. Tibet is developing beyond their nomadic mode of production, which leads to more city population and fewer nomads.

      Have you ever tried to go to North Korea for a vacation? I guess not, otherwise you would know that they do whatever they can to stop people from visiting. And if you are stubborn enough to be able to complete the absurd process required you still won’t be able to go around by yourself, you’ll be constantly followed by their police preventing you to make contacts outside the perimeter they have set up for you. Is this the behaviour of a benevolent government or is this the behaviour of a dictatorship working as hard as it can to hide their atrocities? I guess the testimonies of those who fled that place have no value since they must be paid by the West, as always when someone says something against your worldview.

      Also Tibetans should be free to live as they wish and should not be forced to fled the countryside because the Chinese need low-paid employees for their industry. That’s not a free choice, that’s a state policy imposed on the people by force via the cancellation or refuse to issue passport to Tibetans residents which has limited their ability to move on their own land

        The DPRK has a tourism industry, they want people to go. I can’t, as a US citizen the US Empire prevents me from going. They are understandably cautious considering the US Empire committed genocide against them, and NATO has sanctioned them into oblivion.

        Tibetans are free to live as they wish, that’s why many are going to the cities for work. Not everyone wants to be a nomad.
