Kim will essentially have to abandon Juche in order to fully take advantage of any kind of reforms that China saw under Deng.

The North is trying to cooperate, but won't do so seriously until a more liberal government takes power, at the earliest 2018.

Juche is intentionally vague; its interpretation changes with changes in policy.

Shame too, could've made a ton of money considering that unlike the South, DPRK is resource rich. They've just never been able to monetize their uncultivated wealth.

If the private sector is still technically illegal, how can people invest?
