[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] North Korea is continuously tightening internal discipline. Following an article in the Workers' Party organ Rodong Sinmun titled "The Socialist Way of Life is the Most Superior Way of Life," another piece titled "The Three Great Revolutions of Ideology, Technology, and Culture are the Strategic Line for Socialist Construction" once again expressed vigilance.

On the 15th, Rodong Sinmun, in an article titled "The Three Great Revolutions of Ideology, Technology, and Culture are the Strategic Line for Socialist Construction," stated, "People must fully enjoy socialist cultural life so that socialist culture can overwhelm capitalist culture and the ideological and cultural infiltration schemes of imperialists cannot take root."

It also warned against the influx of foreign culture. The newspaper emphasized that "eccentric lifestyle trends must be rejected and a socialist and national way of life must be thoroughly established," adding that residents' curiosity toward foreign culture is the result of infiltration schemes by capitalist forces.

Mentions of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il ideology were not omitted. The newspaper stressed, "When living and fighting with the Baekdu revolutionary spirit, there is no insurmountable barrier in this world," and added, "The important task today is to prepare all members as true Kim Il-sung-Kim Jong-ilists."

It further stated that technological revolution must be promoted based on ideological revolution, saying, "In all sectors and units, science and technology must be grasped as the lifeline, and modernization and informatization in production processes and management suited to the country's conditions must be pushed forward."

Since the 1980s, North Korea has been promoting the Three Great Revolutions line of ideology, technology, and culture, conducting mass movements to strengthen internal unity.
