Part 12/17:
Hung Lee reflects on how North Korean propaganda depicted the U.S. as a savage imperialist force responsible for atrocities during the Korean War, coupled with exaggerated portrayals of American greed and amorality. However, his firsthand experience in the U.S. revealed a different picture—one of openness, technological progress, and individual freedom.
He emphasizes that North Korea's regime is primarily afraid of losing power and fears external influence, particularly from the U.S. and the West. Their propaganda leverages fears of invasion, regime change, and criminal foreign intelligence activities such as CIA-led assassinations.
