Quartz: North Korea's Arirang Mass Games has a new message

Grand Mass Gymnastics and Artistic Performance Arirang aka Arirang Mass Games aka Arirang Festival — Pyongyang, North Korea  

North Korea's "Mass Games", a mass gymnastics and arts festival, has resumed after a five-year hiatus. Having once won the Guinness Book of Records for the biggest gymnastics performance in history, the Mass Games can provide unique insight into the world's most secretive nation - and this year's show brings some surprises.  

Unlike previous years, this year' arirang performance had no mention of missiles, typically a point of pride for North Korea. Instead, North Korea chose to highlight technological advances using a drone display. Messaging in the parade referred to peaceful coexistence throughout the show.
