What North Korea want is for the rest of the world to open itself to North Korea on North Korean Terms, in much the same way that the world opened itself to China on more or less Chinese terms in 1979. For Kim, the world must open to North Korea, and it must absolutely be on North Korean terms. Missing either element, and the Kim regime will eventually perish.
However, even on Chinese terms China still had much to offer the world, so for the rest of the world it was a worthwhile trade off. Not so with North Korea.
What much of the rest of the world wants is for North Korea to open itself up to the world on the same terms as other countries of the world, failing that, leave North Korea cut off.
