North Korean leaders enjoy some of the most luxurious items money has to offer, even after facing a number of international sanctions. These sanctions essentially prevent many countries from importing goods into North Korea. So how does North Korea obtain all these goods? In this episode of Xplained we take a closer look at how North Korea smuggles cars and other luxury goods.

Why does Kim jong want foreign cars when he doesn't tolerate even foreign clothes?

@erickjuma7643 Год назад

Because the media is lying

Because North Korea can produce clothes but not luxury cars.

@divinewind6313 Год назад

Actually during the cold war it was much more easier. NK will send cargo jets to Easten European countries. NK agents will source goods from Western Europe and cross the Iron Curtain. Load the goods on the plane and fly them to NK.

@hylacinerea970 Год назад

everyone knows they give North Korea pesticides, industrial equipment, electronics, food, etc but the reason no one cares too much is because you can argue those go to keeping people alive, everyone does military service but thats only because theyre forced to. civilians are civilians even if they are forced to bootlick. if u drove a Benz across the only bridge between them, that wouldn't look too good, that only benefits the general driving it. China has to save face, even when it's an open secret how they really act. in fact, having a positive public image is their main PR strategy

Ais is an identification system about ships, it'll give you informations about ships name, location, destination, etc. Actually its forbidden to shut down by international laws.

In 90s we in Serbia had total UN sanctions..like even oil and medicine was banned for import..everything was sanction for us ..but still if you watch old videos from Belgrade motor shows in 90s it had almost all models on display like in Geneva. I remeber how my father bought gasoline,i went with him few times ..he would go to border with Bulgaria ,he would bring lot of empty canisters ..there was field where Bulgarians came ,some with cars ,tractors ,truck..anything..they would empty their reservoirs ,there were lot off buyers and sellers on that empty field..my father would buy enough for few months and then return

We were else unified against Serbia then against North Korea. I can support a little essential smuggling into Serbia the same way as Afghanistan since small smuggling doesn't defeat the purpose of the sanctioning
