It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.

No entanto, isto não passa de uma programa do governo, uma representação criada pelo Estado para vender a imagem do suposto regime democrático da Coréia do Norte e mascarar o que realmente acontece dentro do país.
