In an ideal world, North Korean people would internally overcome their repressive regime.
Perhaps the first step forward is a tech elite that educate and unite the people against their leader. Maybe they are by accident, breeding a large group of hackers in the general public that will be employable outside of North Korea today.

Unfortunately, the situation would’ve corrected itself decades ago in a vacuum, but China keeps funding the elites to maintain their stranglehold.
