Why do North Korean companies have stocks?
Back in the late 70s, Il Sun wanted to stage a great leap forward, like Mao. Took out massive loans to construct industrial facilities and others before defaulting in the 80s.
The ministry of economics (or something similar) was created in response to the default and Jong Un named as its chair (by who?). As the defaults worsened, the chair was advanced in power until it eclipsed Il Sun's position.
Who owns the stocks?
This is why it is comical. A communist nation controlled by share holders. Who are cabal/CIA fronts or direct handlers.
