North Korea's Kim fires vice premier over factory failures ahead of major party congress https://apnews.com/article/north-korea-politics-kim-dismiss-vice-premier-e0ae9be5d8f3d73273f13c20a8bb3bbe
Publicly scolding and firing officials is Kim's familiar management style. By doing so, Kim likely aimed to “create extreme tensions among senior officials” and pressure them to produce better results ahead of the party congress, said Kwak Gil Sup, the head of One Korea Center, a website specializing in North Korea affairs.
Kwak said much of the benefits of North Korea's small economic growth have largely gone to its ruling elite and weapons development sector, not to general public, further deepening inequalities.
During the congress, Kim would likely strengthen a policy of cooperation with Russia, China and other nations to bring out gradual economic developments, Kwak said.
