I was just about to make the same comment. Every time I see a video about DPRK it gives me so much nostalgia for growing up in USSR. It shows such incredible national will that they managed to survive the 90s without making any compromises.

Yeah, I'm really optimistic about that as well. I think there's a good chance Russia might find its way back to the light.

Yeah. I just wish they were more open on their border with China. Seems like there is a fair amount of interest from Chinese people about the DPRK, with border towns on the Chinese side being fairly popular tourist destinations, and i feel like they could have a thriving tourism industry on the DPRK side if they just opened up in a few spots for Chinese tourists. I know they are starting to open up a lot more to Russia now that relations are so good between their governments, but it would help their image in China a lot if Chinese people could just go over the border for a day or a weekend trip.
It'd take a bit of investment by the state to spruce up some of the areas on their side that have fallen into disuse since the border was closed, but it would be worth it. Because the DPRK does have a lot of achievements they could show off, and that's one thing you see with China, that no matter how much China tries to improve their image via the media, people just have to go to China to see it with their own eyes to understand that the Western and Western-aligned media has lied to them. The DPRK could offer activities and cultural educational trips, and really just make their country seem a bit less mysterious and closed off.
To friendly countries only of course, there's no point opening to the West, they'd just use it to cause trouble, but i think China would know to respect the DPRK's security needs and be mindful of their cultural sensibilities.

I agree, it would be great to see more cultural exchange between China and DPRK. Hopefully given how well things are going with Russian tourism, they might consider doing something like what you suggest with China as well.

It might be caution on the DPRK's part, because although they have very good relations with China they are both aware of their ideological differences regarding the implementation of socialism. I'm guessing that with the current work being done to reverse the marketization of the 90s they're reluctant to having too much ideological exchange with market-socialist China.

That's exactly why Russian Travel agencies offering tours in the DPRK are booming with the young and older generations! Good and life changing exchanges are happening between the DPRK and Russia. That makes me very hopeful!
