N.Korea - is the good news good ?

South Korean media always feature plenty of speculation about the North but different sources stress different stories.The more conservative papers tend to mull over signs of collapse in their neighbours regime - like recent news from China that over a hundred high ranking army officers had 'defected'. A cautionary rider is usually added to say no collapse is imminent more from the Chosun Ilbo ... More liberal papers highlight signs of more liberal changes - like recent laws protecting private property. A cautionary rider is usually added to say no real progress is imminent more from the Joong Ang Daily...Maybe they're both right.
