I always kind of figured that for labor-based things, it would be relatively easy to launder it through non-sanctioned countries and then sell it in the US. Not every country on earth has sanctions against North Korea, and I suspect that the US doesn't have sanctions against all of those countries, and at that point it's relatively straightforward to pretend that the animation came from the "clean" country instead of the hermit kingdom. It's really upsetting, because I find it pretty frustrating that, in the US, we fought a whole war about slavery, ended that war deciding that slavery was wrong, but then decided it's fine as long as it happens outside of the US. By "we", I mean both the corporations employing laundered slave labor, but also "we" as the consumers who will very often gravitate to the cheapest prices. It's frustrating.
