The Myth of "Dependency on China "
The enemies of People's Korea like to portray the DPRK as "dependent on China " and even some on the Left repeat this . Worse still some ultra left elements try to say that the DPRK is a "neo-colony " of China and other such rubbish .
In reality trade with China in 2020 and 2021 dwindled to almost nothing and even now is only a small percentage of GDP in the DPRK .
Because the DPRK has a self-reliant economy , foreign trade is only worth 5 per cent of GDP . The DPRK produces a lot of what it needs at home and what cannot be produced at home is imported .Foreign trade is not an end in itself but a means to an end .

That day he said that construction of the regional-industry factories is a far-reaching policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and a historic task for realizing the centuries-old desire of the regional people, not merely construction work, and therefore, it is more precious to devote clear conscience before discussing only the result figures in the construction of the factories.
