Satellite imagery analysis of Rason Special City, a fully opened city with a vision of becoming a North Korean Macao, reveals that, with the border completely closed since January 2020 due to the pandemic, only military materials such as artillery shells are being exported to Russia, and major industrial facilities such as crude oil refinery and tourist facilities remain closed. However, the Man Gyong Bong No. 92, which was used for trade between North Korea and Japan, was seen docked at a repair site, suggesting that preparations are underway to resume trade or tourism.
