[Epoch Times, June 25, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Wu Huanxin reported) North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently sent the United States a signal of “dialogue and confrontation preparedness.” The CCP immediately launched a series of rare diplomatic actions against North Korea. Subsequently, Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yu-jung, and other high-ranking North Korean officials made a strong voice and refused to talk to the United States, which triggered doubts about the CCP’s manipulation of North Korea.
At the Third Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, which ended on the 18th of this month, Kim Jong-un publicly admitted that there was a shortage of food and the situation was tense. He also proposed that “we must prepare for dialogue and confrontation with the United States and South Korea.” This is the first time that Kim Jong-un has responded positively to the dialogue proposal put forward by the US after the establishment of the new Biden administration.
In this regard, on the 20th local time, the US President’s National Security Affairs Assistant Sullivan said in an interview with the media that this is a “very interesting signal” and the US is waiting for North Korea to send a clear signal on whether to return to the dialogue.
Subsequently, the CCP suddenly launched a series of rare diplomatic activities against North Korea.
On the 21st, the Chinese Communist Party’s ambassador to North Korea, Li Jinjun, published a signed article in the North Korean “Labor Sinmun”, stating that China will strengthen communication and consultation with North Korea and related parties. Strategic Choice”.
The Yonhap News Agency reported that the CCP’s move is quite rare, and it may be aimed at restraining the United States and strengthening its influence on North Korea in Northeast Asia.
On the same day, the Department of International Relations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China rarely held a North Korea-China joint symposium to commemorate the third anniversary of Kim Jong Un’s visit to China and the second anniversary of Xi Jinping’s visit to North Korea.
On the 22nd, the CCP and North Korea’s diplomacy suddenly restarted face-to-face diplomacy. The Embassy of the Communist Party of China in North Korea held a “Photo Exhibition in Commemoration of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Visit to North Korea”. The North Korean authorities sent ministerial personnel to attend.
Since the CCP virus spread last year, North Korea has adopted a severe blockade and is almost isolated from the outside world. It has not had face-to-face diplomatic activities with China for more than a year.
In addition, the DPRK’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced that the DPRK’s ambassador to China, Lee Yong-nam, had recently visited Shanghai and Zhejiang at the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Communist Party.
When North Korea and the CCP suddenly started close diplomacy, on the 22nd, Kim Jong-un’s sister and the deputy minister of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Kim Yo-jung, said in a statement through the KCNA that the White House commented on Kim Jong-un’s remarks that “we must prepare for dialogue and confrontation.” It is a “very interesting signal”, she thinks “this is a false expectation.”
“There is a saying in North Korea that’interpreting dreams is better than dreaming’. The United States seems to understand North Korea’s stance toward the United States in the direction of self-comfort. Improper expectations will surely bring greater disappointment.” Kim Yo-jung said.
In response to Kim Yo-jung’s above remarks, US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on the 22nd local time that the United States still hopes that North Korea will respond positively to the proposal of the United States to contact the two sides.
In response, North Korean Foreign Minister Li Shanquan made a statement on the 23rd local time, welcoming Kim Yu-jung’s speech against the United States the day before, saying that North Korea would not consider any contact with the United States.
“We are not even considering the possibility of any contact with the United States, let alone contact with the United States. This is of no benefit to us and will only take up precious time.” He said.
Against the background of the serious confrontation between the United States and the CCP, outsiders questioned that the CCP’s manipulation of a series of wolf-like attitudes of senior North Korean officials towards the United States was behind them. Regarding the North Korean issue, the CCP is playing a game with the United States. @
