North Korea Opens for Business

North Korea Opens for Business

In a push to bring in more foreign investment, North Korean officials guide Chinese business people and reporters on a tour of a free trade and economic zone in the country.

To help spread the word, the authoritarian government invited New York Times Correspondant Edward Wong with other foreign journalists to get a rare view of nascent capitalism at work.
