I would just like to take a moment to direct your attention to one particular part of the article, for comedy's sake.

>“In my country we don’t even know the term ‘political prisoners,’ ” Mr. Jang, a 32-year veteran of the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a session with about 40 members of the Council on Foreign Relations. He insisted that the camps in the satellite photographs were “reformatories” and denied that anyone had been forced into labor. “It is a normal prison,” he added.

You can't even make up quotes this good.

There's a DPRK book in English on the country's from 1919 to the 1970s if you're interested: https://archive.org/download/ModernHistoryOfKorea/Modern%20History%20of%20Korea.pdf

The 1970s is when North Korea's economy was surpassed by South Korea's, which makes it an interesting period to look at historically.
