South Korean official likens a modern North Korea to one with 'a Trump Tower and McDonald's' in it

A South Korean official says North Korea may be open to US investment to help modernize its economy.

The official likened "modernization" to building a Trump Tower or a McDonald's restaurant.

"They want to be a normal country, a normal state to be recognized by the United States," he said during a CNN International interview.

The suggestion could also hint at the North's desire to be relieved of economic sanctions leveled against the country in response to its past aggressions.

I think Trump should suggest the possibility just to cause more heads to explode.

Do you mean the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang?

I would love the symbolism.  Communism tried to finish the hotel for decades, but it takes Capitalism to finish it.

Isn't that the 100-story concrete building that is reported to have next-to-no rebar in it?

The best thing to do is tear it down before it falls down, and start over.
