How bad is kim jung-un fighting corruption
As one of the world's most “mysterious” countries, north korea seems curious in all its aspects。
How did kim jong-un deal with corruption in north korea today
Let's go back to 2014。
The korean media reported a news story that year. This news reported a serious security incident in the apartment building in pyongyang, which resulted in at least hundreds of deaths。
The relevant news was subsequently published by the korean media, confirming the coverage by the korean media。
According to media reports, the collapsed building is an apartment inhabited by korean police and cadres, 23 floors tall, with a maximum area of 200 square metres。
The number of specific casualties is estimated to be over 500, based on household calculations, while the number published by the dprk is around 300。
That, of course, is a tragic number of casualties, be it 500 or 300。
After the accident, there were speculations about its causes. Japan's read-and-sale news considered to be a tofu-dam project by the construction party in pursuit of progress, while tokyo news suggested corruption such as selling cement in construction。
An investigation conducted by the korean side confirmed the existence of corruption and corruption among leading cadres during the construction process。
The specific instances of corruption in the dprk were not made public, but kim jong-un, as the supreme leader of the dprk, dealt with the incident as a means of thunder. The seven general commanders of kpa, who were actually in command of the construction, were removed from their posts and taken to forced shelters, while four design and construction officers were shot and killed immediately after the accident。
When kim jong-eun came to power, he observed that he had always used harsh methods against corrupt officials, often at the expense of capital punishment。
In 2021, kim jong-un was known to have visited a new hospital and found that the walls of the hospital were not designed for heating effects。
Kim jong-un then ordered the authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly。
The results of the survey were quickly released, and at least three civil servants used their family background to enrich the project by stealing construction materials for refilling them。
Kim jong-un did not hesitate to request the court to impose the death penalty on three persons。
It has also been reported by the korean media that between 2016 and 2017, two officials at the ministerial level were publicly executed, as well as several close and high-ranking officials of kim jong-un were executed in camera, all because of their serious corruption offences。
Some officials who had not been sentenced to death had also been punished with full property and assigned to rural areas where living conditions were harsh. To some extent, this is worse than the death penalty。
It follows that kim jong-un is a high-pressure state of near-zero tolerance for corrupt officials and, if found, a heavy punch。
If kim jong-un's treatment of corruption was thought to be merely a severe punishment, it would be too small for this young leader。
After kim jong-un came to power, the fifth monetary reform was implemented, which can be briefly described as a currency renewal, with the old currency scrapped and the country swapped for the old, at 1:100, and a dollar for the new currency。
The impact on ordinary people is not exhaustive, but it has had a considerable impact on corrupt officials, large and small。
The legal income of an official in the dprk is fixed, and when the official goes to exchange currency, it is easy for the government to know how much the official's real property is and whether it is legal income。
In this way, officials who have corrupt practices are afraid to exchange the money that they keep in their possession, and if they exchange it, they will find that it is not legal income; but if they do not, the money in their hands becomes waste paper。
In addition, kim jong-un actively contributed to the development of the monitoring system, ensuring the long-term and lasting nature of the fight against corruption. He has set up a special monitoring body responsible for rigorous monitoring and vetting of government officials and officials at all levels。
After a series of policies and heavy punches by kim jong-un, corruption in the dprk has improved considerably。
The total eradication of corruption is, of course, a long-term and enduring challenge for any country, requiring continuous legal and institutional improvements。
