In the showcase capital, Pyongyang, there is not even enough electricity to keep the lights on in the largest hotels.

Pyongyang, the capital, was dark and deserted, illuminated by the cavalcade taking us from the official housing to the opera house, only to return to darkness behind us.

The police finally stepped in and, after a careful investigation, announced that they had found the true criminal Yang Yongming, a private businessman whom the local lottery administration had contracted to organize ticket sales.

And yet China will find it increasingly difficult to postpone stronger measures that would appease popular demands for fairness, including the establishment of an independent judiciary, which could prove to be no less an imperative than structural economic reforms.

Is such a place the right venue for a Western orchestra? Can one imagine the New York Philharmonic, which performed to great acclaim in Pyongyang, entertaining Stalin or Hitler?

But no one should mistake this for a Pyongyang Spring. Indeed, the regime s efforts to hide, yet again, a severe food shortage demonstrate that its core values have not changed in the least.
