In this Friday, January 6, 2017, photo, a North Korean woman sorts out silkworm cocoons to be boiled later at the Kim Jong Suk Silk Mill in Pyongyang, North Korea. In his New Year’s address, leader Kim Jong Un called on the North Korean people to step up production in order to raise the nation’s standard of living, which is among the lowest in Asia. Kim himself visited the silk mill in early January. (Photo by Wong Maye-E/AP Photo)
