North Korea held its first mass games propaganda performance in five years on Thursday, where leader Kim Jong Un delivered a speech to promote the benefits of totalitarianism for hundreds of foreign visitors, including China’s premier and the leaders of Vietnam and Russia’s ruling parties.

According to state media on Friday, Kim told foreign guests that North Korea has established the “best socialist paradise in the world” over the 80 years since gaining independence from Japan, namely by enforcing “oneness in ideology and leadership” and eliminating “any slightest tendency” toward political opposition.
