In reality, however,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> people are forced to pay the money because those who refuse face pressure from the head of their neighborhood watch unit or have to suffer from social disadvantages, according to the reporting partner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also told Daily NK that KPW 50,000 is a considerable sum for many people given that it is enough to buy nine kilograms of rice in local markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean state-run media has been encouraging people to provide active support for national construction projects, running propaganda articles about different agencies or regions sending supplies to construction sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Rodong Sinmun, <\/em>for example, ran an article on Mar. 19 praising the managers and staff of Potonggang Seafood Shop, which sent supplies to the second-stage construction site in Hwasong. The article said workers from the shop visit the construction site every Friday to supply meals for up to 1,000 people.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, many North Koreans are concerned about the coercive ways used by regime to extract money from them.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRight before mass farm mobilizations began some time ago, everyone had to contribute KPW 3,000 a person under the pretext that the money is needed for farms. And last winter, they told people to send enough money to buy 30 briquettes to help disabled veterans,\u201d the reporting partner said. \u201cThey make people pay for all sorts of supplies, so there&#8217;s nothing to live on.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Cho Chunghee, who directs Good Farmers&#8217; research institute, &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean authorities used to make people living near construction sites provide all the supplies and manpower required, even construction tools and food. A great deal of the Kim Jong Un era&#8217;s legacy projects has concentrated on construction, which has naturally led to a rise in popular discontent toward the significant burdens imposed by the regime.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Translated by David Black.
