Actually North Korea then was still very much in the Soviet Camp, even though they could best be described as “neutral” between the Soviets and ChiComs. But the Albanians thought the Soviets were “revisionists”, and not real Communists.

I disagree; if anything, the Norks played a balancing act: Russia for hardware and China for manpower (at least during the Korean War), and later, for trade (China is North Korea’s largest trading partner).
