Practicing Summary and Paraphrase

In this post I attempt to paraphrase a quote from my text without  summarizing and summarize my text without paraphrasing .

Original Source

Operated by North Koreans, the factories produce clothes and other goods that are exported under foreign-company labels, making it impossible to tell that they have been made with North Korean hands and have contributed to North Korean profits.  The thriving operations belie the perception in Washington that U.S. and international sanctions are working to strangle North Korea’s ability to make money. While an overwhelming majority of North Koreans live in poverty, the country’s output has been steadily increasing, and an estimate by South Korea’s Hyundai Research Institute forecasts that the North’s economy will grow this year by a whopping 7 percent.

Paraphrase 

 In Fifield's article, North Korea's growing economy-and America's misconceptions about it she generally argue, that even though sanctions have been placed on North Korea , the regime's economy still continues to grow because the citizens find other ways to funnel money into the government. One of the ways the country continues to make a profit is through the use of disguised factories  in China that are being ran by  North Koreans.

Summary 

Although America believes that the sanctions have  handicapped the North Korean economy, there are disguised factories being ran by the citizens that still funnel money into the government resulting in the  general boost of the country's economy.
