Is it true that North Korea announced reform and opening up?

It is difficult to judge whether it is true or not now. Objectively speaking, it may be a political gesture.

Because even if North Korea really wants to reform and open up, it is difficult to solve the deadlock it faces, and several major obstacles are difficult to cross.

Let's talk about North Korea itself. It just announced the cessation of nuclear testing, but it did not destroy its nuclear facilities, and it stopped rather than suspended it.

In order to sign a peace treaty with the United States, the United States must withdraw its troops stationed in South Korea, withdraw the Sadr anti-missile system, and cancel the annual military exercise between the United States and South Korea. Obviously, the United States will not agree.

From the interests of the United States, the withdrawal of US troops stationed in South Korea and the carefully arranged rupture of the first island chain cannot contain China militarily.

With the withdrawal of Sadr's anti-missile system, the elaborately constructed anti-missile system in Northeast Asia will be torn apart, and the missile threat from China and Russia will increase, which the United States cannot afford.

If the United States and North Korea sign a peace treaty, there is absolutely no need to station troops in Northeast Asia, which is not in the interest of the United States.

North Korea' s statement this time is entirely to avoid China and Russia and independently show good to the United States. The purpose is to use the deadlock in the Middle East to please the United States, give itself a break, let the United States settle down and fully compete with China and Russia on the Syrian issue.

North Korea and the United States have reached some agreements to ease the situation in Northeast Asia.

It is nothing more than that North Korea has received the aid it wants, and the United States does not need to be tight at both ends for the time being.

If North Korea really signs a peace treaty with the United States and then carries out reform and opening up, it will be empty talk without China's participation, and it will also be empty talk if the United Nations does not lift the sanctions.

North Korea's reform and opening up needs to build ports and docks. Because the territory of North Korea is small, the market is too small, the investment is too large and the risk is too great, only the three northeastern provinces connecting China can serve as a big market.

North Korea's statement this time got nothing but a piece of bread and butter from the United States.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, and it is impossible for the United States to put aside China and Russia and sign a peace treaty with the tiny North Korea.

If this treaty is signed, it will be a piece of waste paper without the participation of China and Russia.
