It has been reported that North Korea’s North Pyongan Province Security Department has begun a large-scale inspection of foreign currency-earning bases in the province, putting the atmosphere at risk.
According to Daily NK’s North Pyongan Province source on the 15th, since the 4th, an inspection team dispatched by the Provincial Security Department began inspecting foreign currency earning bases in the province.
Although this inspection is part of the regular inspection conducted every quarter, it is said that it is being conducted much more thoroughly than before, including individual interviews with all personnel belonging to the foreign currency earning base.
Before starting full-scale censorship, the censorship team reportedly explained, “The main purpose of this censorship is to prevent the operations carried out by hostile forces, including puppet Korea, for the impure purpose of disrupting our foreign trade and destroying our internal affairs.” .
They stated that the focus of this inspection is to check whether they are receiving help from hostile forces such as South Korea or the United States in the process of earning foreign currency, and whether base members are steeped in anti-socialist ideology.
At the same time, the censorship team emphasized, “We must not bring in the impurities of hostile forces into our interior,” and “We must recognize that the enemy is working hard to destroy us internally and resolutely cut them off.”
The censorship group also emphasized, “In order to avoid being tricked by enemies, you must arm yourself politically and ideologically, report everything to the organization, and make it a habit to reflect,” adding, “Only in this way can you protect yourself and protect socialism.” .
Currently, the inspection team is starting with the inspection of the so-called ‘Mosim Project’, which carefully manages the portraits of the Kim family so that they are not damaged, and checks whether propaganda posters or slogans are well posted in office spaces. It also reviews reports on the implementation of political learning lectures and responds to them by members. The status of participation is also being investigated.
In particular, the censorship team closely examines the process by which foreign currency earning bases earn the national plan payments to their superiors, and carefully inspects whether any illegal activities are taking place.
The source said, “The higher-ups don’t care about how they earn foreign currency because they just have to pay according to the national plan, but the National Security Agency is asking them to explain in detail how they earned foreign currency, so the members of the foreign currency earning base are getting tired.” .
However, if even a small problem is discovered during this inspection by the Security Department, they could be accused of being spies, so the members are said to be faithfully complying with the inspection team’s demands.
Meanwhile, members of the foreign currency earning base were said to be particularly nervous about individual meetings with the inspection team.
A source said, “Security officials are summoning members one by one and holding long-term interviews,” adding, “This appears to be aimed at uncovering corruption among those in charge at the base.”
This means that through individual interviews with members, they are trying to receive tips or find clues as to whether executives are seeking personal gain or using illegal methods in the process of earning foreign currency.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that complaints are being raised internally that the provincial security bureau’s censorship is excessive.
In fact, the source said, “In order to fill the national plan for earning foreign currency, you have no choice but to use Chinese cell phones, which are controlled as illegal, and engage in trade activities that have not been reported in advance. How can you earn foreign currency if you blindly censor all activities? He said, “There are voices complaining about whether they can earn .”
