Now I'm a little confused, would Murdoch expanding to NK allow him to do things to NK like the right-wing press in Venezuela does?

Wait, NK are making Big Lebowski games? What have anti-DPRK people got to say now??? :cool:

Anyway, if I read the article correctly, they just have people participating in the development of these mobile phone games for other countries. That's nothing new in itself.

:lol: Great news, I think..

Hopefully this will help develop DPRK's computer capabilities and further modernise the economy. Just so long as they don't allow these foreign companies to gain political power (like how China has let in foreign investment to develop its productive forces, but the state still has ultimate control), this can be a good thing.

would Murdoch expanding to NK allow him to do things to NK like the right-wing press in Venezuela does?No, as it's not his media outlets expanding into there (I'd be very surprised if they allowed Fox News to set up a North Korea branch) its just a software company bought by Newscorp cooperating with Korean programmers.

How do states like Cuba and NK control foreign investment? I noticed Adidas stores in Cuba. How do they keep that type of investment on the island if there is no exploitation of labor? What is the difference between a store in Cuba or NK and one in the US or Spain?

I could buy addidas, like these addidas samba I'm wearing now, in Cuba? cool

The article talks about foreign investment in the DPRK but rest assured there will not be any Fox News in NK.

Poop, I wanted to watch Glenn Beck in Korean. :(

I wish the best for the people over there and I hope this help brings some economic development.
