<Anchor> With the
corona vaccination, national borders are opening little by little, but the border between North Korea and China is still under control. It has been more than a year since the supply of external supplies to North Korea has been blocked, so there is a movement to encourage North Korea these days.
Reporter Kim A-young delivers.

This is a video play that was aired by Chosun JoongAng TV earlier this month.
[Factory workplace: Those things that we don't need are dirt. Is anything else filth? Throw it out now! All done!]
This workplace, where the waste accumulated on one side of the factory was to be thrown away, soon fell on the instep of a fire.
[I mean, looking for filth! (Are everyone in the world reporting that they are going to find filth?)]
When the boss ordered that a flowerbed fence should not be used, the main material, rebar, the discarded items became necessary.
[Factory employee: This (waste) is ours. It's got paint on it!] In
North Korea, a campaign to stop throwing any waste is in full swing these days.
We are calling for a change of consciousness, saying that so-called recycling of resources is important to reprocess waste to turn it into a resource.
[Lee Yu-hee/Pyongyang Central District People's Group Leader: Toothpaste, toothbrush stand... . In the olden days, all of these things were (thought) insignificantly among the residents.]
The border between North Korea and China was controlled due to Corona 19, and supplies from outside have been hardly received for more than a year.
The factory that overcame the crisis of material shortages at the end of last year by recycling resources was introduced as a success story.
[Moon Young-soon/Pyongyang Dental Hygiene Product Factory Engineer: There is no possibility of (procuring materials) completely in November and December… . I have all Macs. (But, waste) Let's unconditionally recover and use... .]
We emphasize that the collection of glass bottles can be helpful as well.
[Kil Young-ran/Pyongyang Disposable Goods Store Employee: He said he would do anything to help the country (you bring it.)]
These slogans screamed by the North Korean media.
It is showing a modest economic situation.
