While the U.S. government imposed severe economic sanctions on North Korea, a US company, in cooperation with North Korea, released two video games in the North Korean market. The move provoked a backlash from the US government, but the company explained that it was "to help North Korea modernize". According to reports, the North Korean Science and Technology Alliance in 2007 on the film "Murder Green Toe" as the foundation, developed a mobile phone bowling game, followed by a "black man's Alien Attack" published. The two games were issued by the American media empire ——— News Corp. North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has always supported the software industry, it is reported. These cooperation with the United States in the field of science and technology shows that the North Korean software industry is developing rapidly and inject vigor into its economy. "From the Government's point of view, foreign exchange is the main reason for North Korea to support these activities," said a South Korean national university expert, "these activities will provide funds for the DPRK government, but also for the public to bring outside knowledge." "The US government is concerned about the consequences of the deal. A senior researcher at the Center for International Strategic Studies, a think-tank, said: "Any deal that can provide cash to the North Korean government will be in conflict with U.S. sanctions, and people with coding skills can easily gain cyber espionage." "Nosotek is a joint venture between a North Korean technology Alliance and a foreign investor, and its head, Eloser, denies the relationship between the game and the spy:" I and our engineers don't know how to spy, who can train North Koreans? Teaching them to develop a game will do no harm. ”
