North Korea has the feel of China in the early 1980s, when the economic liberalization and market reforms initiated by Deng Xiaoping were beginning to take hold, when people discarded their drab Mao jackets and began wearing brighter clothes, when commercial advertisements instead of political slogans appeared on the billboards.

The report says the trucks moving into North Korea are filled with electronics goods, refrigerators and household appliances bound for Pyongyang.
In 2002 North Korea’s unchallenged leader Kim Jong Il declared, “money should be capable of measuring the worth of all commodities.” The statement did not have quite the ring of Deng Xiaoping’s famous phrase, “to get rich is glorious,” but presumably it had the similar effect of giving the leader’s imprimatur to making money.
The newest figures also seem to indicate a modest revival of North Korea’s economy, which was knocked for a loop a decade ago when Pyongyang’s main patron, the Soviet Union, collapsed and took with it the subsidies that had underwritten the economy.
