Kim Jong Un purges vice premier Over Poor Performance
North Korea leader Kim Jong Un is getting rid of people who are not doing what he wants. He just fired Vice Premier Yang Sung Ho because he did not think Yang Sung Ho and some other officials were doing a job. Kim Jong Un said this in front of a lot of people when a new factory opened. This is not something Kim Jong Un usually does.
Kim Jong Un is very unhappy, with officials who are not taking their jobs seriously. He thinks some of these officials are being careless and not responsible. Kim Jong Un wants North Korea officials to do better.
Public Criticism and Warning to Officials
Kim said that Vice Premier Yang should quit his job before things get really bad. He is trying to warn people who work in the government. Kim thinks that some officials do not seem to care about what’s happening. They give up easily and they do not take responsibility for their actions.
Kim said that putting Vice Premier Yang in charge was an idea. It is like trying to get a goat to pull a cart. Vice Premier Yang is not the person for this job. Kim believes that the economy needs someone to lead it like an ox that can pull a heavy cart. This is the way that the economy will be able to move forward. Kim wants to see the economy do well. He thinks that Vice Premier Yang is not the right person to make this happen.
Economic Struggles Drive Kim’s Leadership Crackdown
North Korea is having a tough time with its economy because of the sanctions from other countries. These sanctions are because of North Korea’s weapons programs. The economy in North Korea is not doing well. It is controlled by the state and people are not getting food. Kim is feeling a lot of pressure to make the economy better fast. He wants North Korea to have an economy with advanced technology so that the country can have a good future. The new industrial machinery complex is a part of Kim’s plan for North Korea’s economy. This complex makes a lot of the machines that North Korea uses 16% of them. North Korea’s economy and North Korea’s future are what Kim is focusing on.
Historical Context and Political Control
Kim is very tough on the people who work for him. This is not the time he has done something like this. He killed his uncle, Jang Song Thaek back in 2013 because he thought his uncle was trying to take his place. Now Yang Sung Ho is in a situation. People who know about these things say that Kim does this to make the other officials very scared so they will work harder and do what he tells them to do. This is all happening before a big meeting of the ruling party, which happens every five years and that meeting is going to happen soon. Kim wants everything to be perfect for this meeting so he is being very strict with the officials. The ruling party congress is a deal for Kim and he wants to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Challenges Facing North Korea
North Korea remains a poor country that prioritizes its military over its people. It is vulnerable to natural disasters like floods and droughts due to poor infrastructure and deforestation. Kim’s leadership style is focused on tightening control and demanding results, especially in economic policy. The opening of the industrial complex in Hamgyong Province highlights his push for economic change despite ongoing hardships.
