North Korea's lack of supplies is only talking about remote rural areas. For large North Korean cities such as Pyongyang and Kaesong, there are generally supermarkets with shelves filled with all kinds of goods. As long as there is money, even European and American manufacturing can buy it. Unlike state-run stores, locals do not need to show a ticket to buy things in supermarkets, so the prices inside are higher than those in state-run stores, which is a place that only North Korea's rich can frequent.
