Why do people say North Korea does badly?

North Korea does freaking amazing considering their conditions. This just came in: https://www.rt.com/news/398921-china-sanctions-compliance-north-korea/
North Korea isn't propped up by China, chinks only don't want a US puppet state at their border buy they don't give a shit about North Korea and willing to participate in an attempt to starving them out. In any case, I find the achievements of the DPRK in terms of self-sustainability amazing. It's basically like living on another planet with barely any fertile soil. Imagine being able to build skyscrapers and glistening cities like Pyongyang and having a growing economy despite being boycotted by the entire world. Conservatives and liberals pointing at their problems are extremly annoying, it's like dropping a bunch of people on Mars and then complaining that they didn't have iPhones when you check on them after 20 years.
