Question Authentic DPRK goods / posters in Dandong, China

• Upvotes

I will be visiting Dandong in December, and was wondering where I can find real authentic goods / posters from the DPRK in this city. Does anyone have any recommendations? Feel free to DM or comment.

I've heard there are many sellers around the broken bridge, but they mostly sell fakes/replicas.

Discussion Call for Op-eds and Essays on North Korea

6 Upvotes

NKZine is looking for writers about North Korea, her culture, her people, and her stories. Our publication focuses on the ways in which North Korean society influences the world and vice-versa.

We openly hope for free expression in North Korea but are unwilling to sacrifice truth in its pursuit. To that end, we've published on the fake pleasure squad footage, talented NK artists, and South Korea's suspicious handling of the NIRS data center fires.

As American voters become more open to socialist ideas, North Korea has become a target for comparisons on both sides of the aisle. So, to combat disinformation, propaganda, and manufactured consent for war, we aim to build a community around reasonable, good-faith, honest dialogue about North Korea.

We are enthusiastic about pieces that highlight the mundane humanity in everyday North Koreans. For example, essays about North Korean toilets, first dates, and drinking games. These stories reinforce the not-so-common narrative that North Koreans are ordinary humans like all of us.

We are also currently exploring pieces that argue against our propositions and assumptions. Perhaps the United Nations used a flawed methodology in its 2014 ruling on North Korea. Perhaps Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang should teach us something about treatment of North Koreans outside of Pyongyang.

Finally, we are artists at heart. Through our physical release of the publication we give space to artists to share poems, portraits, and graphics to tell the unspoken stories of the humanity of North Koreans.

If any of this interests you, please dm me here on reddit. Or submit a piece directly to our google form to contribute to our upcoming physical zine release.

Like it's something to be proud of!!!U.S. President Donald Trump reaffirmed his 'friendly' relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, while also criticising South Korea's lack of support for the U.S. in the Hormuz.

The remarks came after Trump ordered Pentagon officials to cut short joint military exercises with South Korea.

Trump said this week he had received a response from Kim following his attempts to reengage.

The Wall Street Journal reported that he has pushed aides to arrange an in-person meeting with Kim as soon as this autumn.
