For a Higher Standard of Living Comparable to my Hard Work and Freedom Testimony by a North Korean refugee Ms. Kyung Hwa Lee Part II: North Korea’s Past, Present and Possible Futures Lecture by Dr. Charles Armstrong (Columbia University) The collapse of North Korea has been predicted repeatedly for more than 25 years, yet the regime persists into the twenty-first century despite its objective weaknesses.
