“奇迹般的转变”：金正恩如何重塑朝鲜

CHOE SANG-HUN2026年6月9日金正恩2019年抵达靠近中越边境的越南同登火车站。 Athit Perawongmetha/Reuters 在疫情期间，长期以来一直自诩战无不胜的朝鲜领导人金正恩在国家电视台上发表了热泪盈眶的惊人道歉。 “我深感歉意，”他说。当时，新冠疫情加之粮食短缺和国际制裁正无情地摧残着他的国家。“我的努力和诚心不足以使人民摆脱生活困难。” 然而，就在普通朝鲜民众深陷苦难之时，42岁的金正恩却将这场危机视为一个绝佳的机遇。如今，他信心满满。由于他使得朝鲜成为事实上的核大国，他被国内外公认为迄今为止朝鲜最有权势的领导人，甚至超越了他的祖父——该国的开国元勋。 在疫情期间，他首先关闭了与中国接壤的边境，下达格杀勿论的命令，阻止朝鲜人越境逃亡。他严厉打击边境贸易和走私活动，迫使民众减少对进口的依赖，转向增加国内生产。他的整肃行动还把矛头对准了非正规市场——自20世纪90年代毁灭性的饥荒以来，许多人一直依靠这些市场里买卖中国商品以及U盘走私入境的外国娱乐节目勉强度日。 通过摧毁这些地下市场，金正恩加强了该政权对经济和意识形态的垄断。执法手段异常残暴。被发现传播韩
