Frankly Oilstain saw what they want him to see, they didn't take him to any of the Northern areas where they have numerous gulags and man killing mines, or the forced education camps.
They can string as many powerlines to the country as they want but the views from satellite maps tell a completely different story.
They certainly didn't take them through the harder hit famine areas either.
They probably didn't take him through the numerous palaces built for the Kim family where as one of the former chefs for middle Kim talked about they had slave labor to sort the rice so that the leader would only get the most perfect grains and the rest were thrown out.
Or the schools where they teach young girls to smile and dance for 12 hours a day so someday that can pleasure the young leader and his hanger ons.
There's enough collaboration from people who have escaped for their lives at the risk of their lives, combined with satellite images and other things to know that North Korea is a show state for outsiders and everyone that's not part of the grand theatre is in horrible shape living in horrible conditions, and any money that comes from the outside world goes straight into the pockets of that malignant family and their cronies.
