North Korea, one of the most closed countries in the world, is discreetly letting out labor, exploited in particular by China.

North Korea is the most secretive, closed country in the world. For its inhabitants, it is officially impossible to leave. However, today we find tens of thousands of North Koreans employed across the world. Dressed in their characteristic costume, North Koreans head towards China across a bridge. Under the watchful eye of the soldiers on each side, they crossed in broad daylight. All have been handpicked, selected by a mysterious organization located in the heart of Pyongyang.

Around fifteen bridges are used by workers from North Korea to work towards China. 70 restaurants in China employ them. Dozens of classified ads offer cheap North Korean labor. An offer to sell labor offered as a commodity.
