Which country's products do Koreans like?

Traveling to North Korea, the tourist bus we took was a second-hand Japanese car. This makes me curious, because according to our tour guide, Koreans hate Japanese, but Japanese products can be seen in many places in North Korea.

There are not many cars in North Korea, but Japanese brands account for a large proportion in the street. Most cars are eliminated in Japan, and there are also a few luxury cars of Japanese brands, such as Lexus. Although the Korean people hate Japan, they do not exclude Japanese products. On the contrary, Korean people like Japanese products best.

When we stayed at Yangjiao Island Hotel, I found that many products in the hotel were made in Japan, such as TV sets. Our tour guide said that Japanese products are very popular in North Korea, especially Japanese bicycles and motorcycles, and Koreans also like them because of their good quality.

In North Korea, if you have a Japanese second-hand motorcycle at home, it is also a very respectable thing. Because few people can afford motorcycles in North Korea. Besides Japanese products, Koreans also like China products. However, our tour guide once said mercilessly that the quality of some Japanese products is indeed better than that of China, which made me extremely embarrassed.

North Korea's light industry is underdeveloped, and many commodities related to people's lives are imported. Imported goods are more popular in North Korea, but they are relatively expensive.
