This is allegedly due to the perceived effects their widespread use is<br \/>\nhaving on the population, particularly with regards to watching smuggled South<br \/>\nKorean media content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThe state has been busy demanding results<br \/>\nfrom the \u2018200-Day Battle\u2019 and in the midst of this, trade companies have<br \/>\nsuddenly received internal orders from the Central Party that Chinese notetel can no longer be imported,\u201d a source from North Pyongan Province told Daily NK<br \/>\nin a telephone conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cThere have also been warnings from Party cadres that new penalties apply for those caught with notetel carrying South<br \/>\nKorean TV dramas, foreign films, and adult content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Sources in South Pyongan Province and Pyongyang corroborated this news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Until very recently, shipments of the popular Chinese media devices were passing through Sinuiju customs without incident. From early<br \/>\nJune, all bulk orders, and even small-scale orders of only a few dozen were<br \/>\nblocked, reported the source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Underpinning the sudden restrictions are<br \/>\ntwo concerns on the leadership\u2019s part: 1) shifts in public perception following<br \/>\nexposure to South Korean dramas; and 2) a recent crackdown on university<br \/>\nstudents caught watching adult movies in groups and \u201cstirring up trouble.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Currently, the source added, the ordinance<br \/>\nseems directed at wholesale operatives with large supplies of the compact<br \/>\ndevices. General market stalls hawking the notetel have been as of yet largely<br \/>\nunaffected by the crackdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Over recent years, these devices, known as<br \/>\nEVD players in China, have become an integral part of everyday life in North<br \/>\nKorea and often the sole reliable source of entertainment. Televisions, VCRs,<br \/>\nand [non-portable] DVD players use a sizable amount of electricity in a<br \/>\ncountry notorious for its unreliable supply. Notetel on the other hand can run<br \/>\non small motorcycle batteries [increasingly charged via solar power], enabling<br \/>\nresidents to entertain themselves with content from south of the border at<br \/>\ntheir convenience, provided they have flash drives or CDs carrying the<br \/>\ncontraband programming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Restrictions notwithstanding, this is<br \/>\nunlikely to wane, the source said, noting, \u201cPeople are still watching just as<br \/>\nmany South Korean dramas as they used to, prompting security agents to exact<br \/>\nmore scrutiny toward households with notetel on the premises,\u201d the source<br \/>\nsaid, adding that the recent bump in power supply and number of residents with<br \/>\ndisposable income is driving media consumption. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Despite state propaganda calling on people<br \/>\nto support work in farming communities and take part in the &#8220;200-Day Battle,&#8221; the majority of residents are focused on watching dramas or listening to music<br \/>\nsmuggled in on thumb drives. \u201cEven if they restrict notetel imports, the sheer<br \/>\nnumber of them already in circulation domestically would probably be enough to<br \/>\nsatisfy demand for the year,\u201d the source speculated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">She added that bulk notetel imports have<br \/>\nfor some time been a robust source of income for trade companies, implying that<br \/>\nif donju (the newly affluent middle class) request them, \u201cthey will likely find<br \/>\na bring a way to bring them in, no matter the circumstances.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cSouth Korean dramas have put down deep<br \/>\nroots here in the North, so they [the authorities] will find that trying to dig<br \/>\nthem all up will be an exercise in futility,&#8221; the source concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pyongyang has recently banned the import of portable media players produced in China, referred to as \u2018notetel\u2019 in the North.
