Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I don't disagree, but it's also easier for them than countries that have physical ties with the west who would have to take concrete action, whereas the DPRK can denounce them all they want immediate economic impact on their citizenry
There are plenty of other nations that are sanctioned to hell, but have very bad foreign policy. Additionally, DPRK has been consistently correct throughout its entire history. If China thought like the DPRK they would have avoided all of their major foreign policy errors: They would not have sided against the USSR in the sino-soviet split, they would not have invaded Vietnam, they would not have cozied up to the USA, they would have intervened in this genocide, they would not have funded the Taliban against the USSR, the list goes on...
Again I don't disagree with any of that, I'm saying that the negative economic impact on say e.g. Vietnam would be greater if they came out with a principled stance against the Zionist entity and it's genocide, than what the DPRK has
