Nevertheless, people have continued to communicate with the outside world, apparently prompting the authorities to lay down the law once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, at the lecture, the speakers said the people are marching together as one to achieve the \u201clofty goals presented during the Fourth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee,\u201d but \u201chuman trash\u201d continues to emerge who \u2014 like \u201cthieving cats\u201d \u2014 hide and use foreign mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lecturers said these people are \u201cfailing to come to their senses,\u201d even though the authorities have conducted several \u201cpolitical efforts for the public\u201d to get individuals who continue to use or hide illegal mobile phones to turn themselves in and confess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, the authorities used the lectures to drum up hostility towards users of Chinese-made mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, the lecturer said such individuals unreservedly engaged in acts of treason that betray their country and the people, \u201cseduced by a few dollars thrown their way by enemies.\u201d They called on people to wage an \u201cuncompromising\u201d struggle against users of foreign-made mobile phones, and to wage an \u201cintense public struggle\u201d so that the \u201chuman trash\u201d can no longer show their faces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even as the lecture once again stressed \u201cvoluntarily turning yourself in,\u201d it also stressed the duty to report on other people, pointing to the need to \u201cawaken relatives and comrades.\u201d This is a typical North Korean agit-prop method that calls on everyone to take part in ideological education efforts while emphasizing hostility toward the enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lecturer also made an effort to generate fear, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the lecturer ended with threats, namely, that there was no coming back for the countless people who were busted by \u201clegal agencies\u201d for using Chinese-made mobile phones, and that the \u201cmop-up operation\u201d would continue until it has caught every last offender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20220317-4\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A source says North Korean authorities are intensifying their criticism of users of Chinese-made mobile phones in regions along the country\u2019s border with China, labeling them \u201ctools of the enemy.\u201d A source in North Hamgyong Province told Daily NK on Wednesday that the authorities recently held a lecture in Hoeryong on the theme, \u201cUsers of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":41786,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1360,67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-society","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
