DPRK No. 2 Happiest Country?
A Chinese blog post, picked up by the Shanghaiist, went viral this week. The story:
[QUOTE]
China is the happiest place on earth(!!) according to a new global happiness index released by North Korea’s Chosun Central Television. China earned 100 out of 100 points, followed closely by North Korea (98 points), then Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela. Coming in at 203rd place is America (or rather “the American Empire”, 美帝国), with only 3 happiness points. South Korea got a measly 18 points for 152nd place.
Frankly I don’t think most North Koreans would believe this story if they saw it on television. So why would the North Korean government run it? Are they that out of touch?
I tried to learn more, but the source material seems difficult to find. I have gone through my archives of recent North Korean television footage and I am unable to locate the broadcast. Does anyone know when the original video clip was aired?
For what it is worth,Freedom House just ranked the DPRK as the country with the world’s worst human rights record (again).
