According to the source, North Korea has been holding public lectures claiming that the South Korean government expressed relief at the decision and is currently going to great lengths to change its North Korea policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lectures were critical of South Korea and broadly said that South Korea has no intention of letting the two Koreas resolve this issue between themselves. The biggest problem is that [South Korea] insists on kowtowing to the US,\u201d the source said, noting, \u201cThey [the lecturers] made it clear that the American imperialists and the puppet regime [South Korea] should harbor no illusions of peace.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, some North Korean people have reportedly been somewhat critical of Kim\u2019s decision, claiming that they knew the plan for military action would be postponed and that North Korea is backing down because the country would lose in a fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source also reported that young people tend to be aware that North Korea\u2019s weapons are no match to weapons possessed by South Korea and the US, but that &#8220;slightly older people&#8221; think that North Korea might as well go to war in a situation where people are struggling economically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Young people, who more frequently come across information from abroad, have a greater understanding about the strategic military advantage held by the US-South Korean alliance, while older people are openly complaining about the difficult living conditions in the country, according to the source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>MORE CRACKDOWNS<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source also told Daily NK that North Korea is putting even more efforts into controlling the flow of information out of the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere have been severe crackdowns by the authorities,\u201d the source said, adding, \u201cIn particular, people caught making phone calls with Chinese mobile phones used to be able to pay a bribe to be let off, but that would be unthinkable now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said there is a \u201clot of uneasiness\u201d in the country to the point where people \u201cdon\u2019t even dare\u201d switch on their Chinese mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Koreans with family members who have defected to the South are under even more surveillance to prevent them from making contact with their relatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNewly deployed teams of [Ministry of State Security, MSS] agents from the central and provincial governments are conducting daily checks on when [defector families] received money and how they are able to contact their relatives in the South,\u201d the source said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAgents from municipal MSS offices turned a blind eye to the activities of defector families in the past, but the agents from the central and provincial government don\u2019t accept bribes,\u201d the source continued, adding, \u201cFamily members of defectors are having a really difficult time these days.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/%EA%B5%B0%EC%82%AC%ED%96%89%EB%8F%99-%EA%B3%84%ED%9A%8D-%EB%B3%B4%EB%A5%98%EB%8F%84-%EC%B2%B4%EC%A0%9C%EC%84%A0%EC%A0%84%EC%97%90-%ED%99%9C%EC%9A%A9-%EB%82%A8%EC%A1%B0%EC%84%A0%EC%9D%B4-%EC%A9%94\/\"><em>Read in Korean<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korean authorities have been conducting propaganda lectures for citizens to promote North Korean leader Kim Jong Un\u2019s recent decision to defer plans for military action against South Korea, Daily NK has learned. \u201cThe propaganda lectures claimed that the South Korean government has adopted a contemplative stance in response to the General&#8217;s decision to postpone [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":45540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[844,1016],"class_list":["post-45539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-defections","tag-surveillance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>N.
