Cars in North Korea??? That's not supposed to happen. It's ruining our narratives about them having dead rats for dinner. maddened

20 years ago, a favorite trope of western media talking about the DPRK was how Pyongyang had all these big fancy clean boulevards and roadways with precise traffic control, but the streets were empty of cars. how silly!

Basically the same as chinese ghost city propaganda. They can't conceive of planning ahead.
