North Koreans are keenly aware of the problems they face. And the problems are very similar to those faced by Americans.

"Mostly, people criticise Kim Jong-un for being a businessman," she says, reflecting wider discontent.

"People say that he acts the same as us, but takes away our money.

"[They say] the little man uses his head to suck up money like a little vampire."

Sun Hui says the number of local people who assess Kim Jong-un positively is increasing, because he leaves the markets alone and "doesn't crack down much, no matter what we do".

This should all ring very familiar to you -- replace 'markets' with 'banks' in that last line, if you will.

"I've heard at the market that the president of the US is coming," Sun Hui says.

"People don't know much about the meeting," she continues, "but everyone dislikes America.

"We say the reason for us living in poverty is because America split us and sealed us off [from South Korea]."

Spot on.

There's between 150k and 200k people in prison camps in North Korea. That's between 0.6% and 0.8% of their population, which a similar percentage to the amount of people in prison in the United States. And the North Koreans say...

It is the "terror" of such camps that "keeps society going", according to Sun Hui.

She says "there's a lot of government captures" where she lives.

Chol Ho believes some people are sent there by the Bowibu because officials "make up stories for their own performance".

Well, gee, isn't that kind of like when the FBI finds Islamic people with mental difficulties on Facebook and tries to goad them into terrorism?
