The visit to the North Korean group, led by Google chairman Schmidt and former U.S. governor New Mexico State Richardson, has been in the DPRK for 3 days.

Yesterday, Richardson appeared to be in breach of a previously claimed "private" visit, facing the U.S. media, he revealed that his delegation will pressure North Korea to suspend missile launches and nuclear tests to free money to allow more people to use mobile phones and the internet, It also requires the DPRK to treat the Korean-American businessman Bei Junhao who was arrested last December by the DPRK in a humane manner. At the same time, according to the media, China sent more than 70 experts to the DPRK, for the Sino-DPRK joint development of Gold Ping, Granville Island Special Economic Zone to provide "cooperative consultation."

North Korea's Internet speed far beyond China?

In the face of media interviews yesterday, former U.S. governor New Mexico State Richardson said, "If there are more mobile phones and a more open Internet, the life of the Korean people will be better." We brought this information to several foreign diplomats and technicians. ”

North Korea has long been labelled a mysterious and closed label. Many North Koreans have never been on the internet since North Korea's authorities have strictly restricted access to Internet, a number of Western media have reported earlier. Thus, Google Chairman Schmidtben visited Kim Il-sung University in Tuesday, a North Korean university student to the former show the use of Google search and Wikipedia, such as internet use has become a national media scrambling to report hot news.

According to the U.S. "time" quoted a number of reporters to North Korea, said that North Korea's speed even far more than China. But the number of people who surf the internet in North Korea is limited to "the elite", with a small population and a high level of government. "Scott, the project leader of the Civil Research and Development Foundation of the nonprofit institute in Virginia State, USA. Bruce said in a study.

The analysis points to some recent indications that Mr. Kim may want North Korea to loosen its information technology slightly. In his New year address, Kim Jong-un has repeatedly stressed the need for a "technological revolution".

"Access or intelligence work"

The North Korean trip was a bit sensitive in the timing of the U.S. 's punishing period after the DPRK launched a long-range rocket last December. The delegation's actions were severely criticized by conservatives in the United States. Richardson said the delegation would put pressure on North Korea to suspend nuclear testing and missile launches.

Meanwhile, a Washington spokeswoman, Peter. Velasco said that Richardson's line has not communicated with the U.S. government.

State Department spokesman Newland Nuland has repeatedly stressed that Schmidt and Richardson's actions are purely personal, untimely in time and will not convey any information about the U.S. government. But he also said the U.S. government will listen to a delegation from North Korea back to the report.

Perhaps this is the biggest achievement of the North Korean trip: Both sides have the opportunity to test their attitude. "This is, in a way, a brilliant intelligence trip," said Adam, an Asian history professor at Queen's University in Belfast. Cathcart to the media, "although the U.S. State Department said they do not like the operation, but I think they actually see the DPRK warm welcome to the delegation is very happy." I don't think this action is as simple as it seems, it's more of an intelligence effort. ”

On the other hand, North Korea can reconsider the benefits of opening up the Internet. "Mr Schmidt's arrival will certainly spark a debate on Internet technology and the extent to which Kim Jong-un will be involved in the future in the country's upper echelons. After all, Cathcart said, it may be safe for North Korean rulers to have a Google visitor visit North Korea rather than having all North Koreans visit Google.

While the United States and North Korea show tentacles, China-DPRK cooperation is still in full swing.
