They (the government minders, tour guides, Pun Yun Chi herself) know for a fact that some visitors would be taking videos. Unless she said anything disparaging about the government, then she's in trouble. Until then, I can reasonably say she was fine.

@illiminatieoverlordgurglek140 4 года назад

@shadowberetta it's classic divide and rule. In order to rebel you have to organise and cooperate with others. They make sure anyone in any position to rebel is kept isolated in distrust of their peers. You never know who you can trust and who will sell you out. Kim Jung Un had his own uncle executed just to send that message. Maybe some would love nothing more than to overthrow the government. But the distrust keeps them from organising anything significant.

@BaconMaken 9 лет назад

You know...it really is depressing that some people on here are like, "North Korea is right about what they say about the US!" Or, "I'd rather live in North Korea than the US!" North Korea is one of the worst, if not THE worst country on the planet. Their people have no culture, no freedom, hardly any food and worst of all they are force fed propaganda every day. Want to know why it's better to live in the US than North Korea? You can very well leave whenever you want without being captured or killed. Come on people, THINK!

@VoloxTV 9 лет назад

I have to agree except for the fact that they do have culture, even if it probably isn't as exercised as in other countries

@saucissedemoniak 9 лет назад

I love when Americans people say freedom :) I am always wondering if it's serious or ironic.

@BaconMaken 9 лет назад

Pauline Dusolle Compared to North Korea, we are much better in that department. If you don't believe me, live here for two weeks then go there for two weeks. You'll notice a drastic difference.

@saucissedemoniak 9 лет назад

Bacon Maken I am not saying that living in North Korea is better, oh no! I'd rather live in the US than in North Korea that's for sure, I would not even hesitate for a second. But freedom is only an illusion, in the US or elsewhere, but it just seems that Americans who live in one of the most corrupted country think they have more freedom than in every country in the world. And this is where I wonder how can people be so naive...

@BaconMaken 9 лет назад

Pauline Dusolle I don't think we have total freedom either. Gays aren't given rights, middle eastern people are hated and white males are still more favorable. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's one of the most corrupt countries. Maybe one of the most corrupt first world countries.
