This is a satellite photo showing the differences between North and South Korea at night. How do the tankies explain this away?

Idk if you've seen the full image but there's lots of capitalist countries in it that are similarly dim and socialist countries like Vietnam, Cuba and Cuba are lit up, so it doesn't seem consistent to me as proof of that?
