This study compares and analyzes the information control policies of mobile communication in North Korea, China, and Vietnam, exploring the differences between the countries. China adopts a nationalist approach, Vietnam an open one, and North Korea an isolationist one, with each country strengthening information control through laws and technical controls. The study suggests ways for North Korea to develop its mobile communication industry while maintaining its regime and the possibility of applying successful cases from socialist countries.
