This is quite the novel method of testing the bandwidth and reliability of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's Internet connectivity.

The DPRK usually hosts its content in China.

KCNA used to be hosted in Japan (heck, the domain was .co.jp, not .kp!). `traceroute` confirms it's also Chinese now, though.

It's great they have a children's union! So nice of them to let the children collectively bargain for a little extra food.

Why? Also, do you trust the security of your computer when connecting to that domain?

It's kind of like connecting to a website of a parallel world. Looks normal at a first glance, but weird and alien when you start reading. As far as security, what can they do from that domain that isn't done from other domains?

Nothing, but many other domains attack web clients.
