I think this is more mythology that the silly westerners believe.
Many people across the world have "skills that would make someone very valuable on a Western market." But they don't all just up and leave. Why?... Home is hard to leave forever.
Also do they have good English/European skills, if not then no they would not be considered valuable in the west.
Plus who gets let out of the country. Bomb makers? Not really a valuable skill in the West.

- aaron695 9y agoWe are talking about people with high (criminal) skills getting out of the country and defecting. One assumes they don't let their computer hackers out. So with relation to the article you're left with what that's a skill of value in the west? Forging money? That's easy when you're a government. Drugs? Once again easy. Their most skilled are probably OT their waitresses in their restraunts across the world(they also study the arts while in country, they are quite skilled) they defect occasionally. I pitty their family back home for those who defect :(
- vacri 9y agoYou chide others for buying into some western myths about north korea, then buy straight back into them yourself. As a simple example, Wikipedia has a list of 122 merchant ships registered in North Korea[1]. Do you really think that these ships are crewed by counterfeiters, bomb-makers, and those with 'high criminal skills'?
