Had that happened, economic assistance from the US and Japan would have flowed into North Korea, enabling the regime to manage the country’s moribund economy much better without initiating reforms, which the military appears to regard as dangerous.

如果实现这一计划，来自美日的经济援助就会流入朝鲜，使朝鲜政府在无需启动改革的情况下挽救奄奄一息的国内经济，这种举措被军队视为危险的。相反，随着经济、特别是粮食生产持续衰退，或许有三分之一的朝鲜人挣扎在饥荒线上下。金正恩能做得更好吗？
