The sanctions are generating more market activity

Here is an article by the DailyNK reporting the side effects that the sanctions are having on the Jangmadang activity.
New businesses and innovations are taking shape as a result, on the other hand, people such as coal workers and surrounding businesses are suffering being out of work because of low demand for coal.
authorities are feeling the squeeze too and are passing it along with demands for larger bribes and the introduction of more fees or unofficial taxes for this or that.

The people are more and more resentful of the authorities and know that they can only rely on themselves.
The North Korean regime is becoming less and less relevant to the average person.
