The South China Morning Post visited North Korea to cover the city’s recent building boom and rapid modernization.

New 80 story skyscrapers have dramatically remade the cities skyline in recent years. Streets are busier now, with modern Chinese electric cars, scooters, bikes. Ride sharing apps and food delivery apps reach even the smaller, forgotten parts of the country now. From tablets and smartphones, online shopping, a growing app economy, and major advancements in military technologies, Un has NK flush with cash lately somehow.

Solar panels are everywhere in the cities now. Huge new solar farms and new industrial greenhouse operations place North Korea near the top in the world for greenhouse food production levels. This is a very welcome thing in a cold country with little arable land, and tens of millions to feed.

New subways from China’s most modern rolling stock have given transit in the city a needed upgrade to the used Czechoslovak and GDR equipment they had operated for decades.

While the article didn’t talk much about them, there are new weapons programs, new generations of longer range missiles, new war ships, and new commercial and general navy ships as well.

The North Koreans seem to have forgotten they are under the heaviest sanctions the US can dole out. They seem to be almost flaunting the fact that things are changing quickly under Un.
