On the accession of China to the anti-North Korean sanctions and cooling in relations between the two countries again increased the number of news designed to exacerbate this split. The most recent news of this kind – the message of the media of the ROK that Beijing suspects Pyongyang in the production of fake RMB, is revealed in the last time in China. On Wednesday, the Chinese company Phoenix New Media reported about this possibility, citing the opinions of experts on the Korean Peninsula and political observers.
A similar statement was also made on 28 March on the website of the newspaper “huanqiu shibao”. It says that in circulation in the Chinese city of Dalian Liaoning province, fake RMB can be printed in the UK. Phoenix New Media also announced that the UK possesses world-class technologies for the manufacture of counterfeit money, and she is engaged in mass production of counterfeit dollars, yen and yuan.
The news is certainly intriguing, but when you try to double-check, we find that in the official media of China North Korean origin of the counterfeit money has not been proved, and speaks as assumptions. Moreover, this Chinese media company is actually Hong Kong and private. Yes, this is quite a serious holding, which owns several cable channels, but we are faced with the same option of juggling that and in the story of “eaten by dogs” Jang sung-Taek, when reprinted the note of the blogger Hong Kong newspaper, referring to pretty yellow press and then the lips of propagandists, became the Chinese and then this information was presented as published in the official Chinese media. Same here.
No, the tension between North Korea and China is not going away. Both sides have not experience illusions in relation to the policies of each other and have a lot of unhappy, especially given the vote in the UN security Council regarding sanctions against the DPRK. This discontent slips in the official North Korean press statements, as we see in the article in “Rodong Sinmun” dated April 2, 2016 There is the editorial, written on behalf of “the Korean Institute for international political problems”, contained harsh criticism of “a certain large country that succumbed to the demands and pressures of the United States” and joined the anti-North Korean sanctions. The note stressed that in this way the country forgot “dear relationship of friendship” with the DPRK.
The official North Korean approach in a situation when open there is no voltage has always been that way. At the time of this “one country” was Russia, whose policy in the Yeltsin era have been criticized in a similar manner. Without specific instructions, but so that everything was all clear.
However, this crack in relations between the two countries are actively trying to expand from the outside. And do it long and hard. Almost every year and a half, among the downed ducks is a story about an anti-Chinese policy of Pyongyang or the pursuit of them Chinese. So, in April 2012, before the third North Korean missile launch and counting on a strong reaction of Beijing, the Japanese magazine “Shukan bunshun” as if received from one of the North Korean defectors the text of the political will of Kim Jong Il, made in the best traditions of the “Testament of Peter the Great”. Kim allegedly pointed out that you should be very careful with China, which from the “closest partner” may eventually become a country “for which it will be necessary to watch closely all other”. “Historically, China is a source of problems for Korea. Remember this and remain cautious. Don’t let the Chinese themselves to use”.
And recently already other Japanese media seemed to be at its disposal closed the written instruction of the Central Committee of the WPK on March 10, 2016, entitled: “party Members and workers! Pieces will break the force of storms nuclear machinations to pressure on us from the betrayed socialism of China!”. Policy of China is described there as “hostile” and “attempt to preserve hegemony,” and voiced the call to “conduct policy with China on equal terms and not assume that he looked at us disparagingly”.
I should note that to write “political Testament” after the fact is not very difficult, as it is easy actually to simulate North Korean style. In this context, a specified “closed letter” can be both true and false, because to catch the fake you need on the intricacies of the internal design documents that are clear inside but not well known outside.
However, the oddities that suggest a fake – missing. There is no text of Dating on the Juche calendar. Existing in the network picture of the document “cropped” so that there is neither “cap” nor the incoming number. The appeal of the “party members and workers” is not characteristic. Strange text by hand: you can, of course, to assume that this is a telephone message, but actually closed the letter this way does not apply.
Same here – and the ducks like the ban in the DPRK, wearing Chinese clothes and accessories, which is 11 January 2016. launched the American radio station “Free Asia”. And “stuffing” on the persecution in the DPRK, ethnic Chinese, forced abortions, Korean women, to avoid the appearance of half-breeds, or about the mass arrests Chinese citizens on suspicion of espionage. The last high-profile hearing on December 17, 2015 had to refute at the level of the Embassy.
Common Japanese media reports of “the complete ban on entry of ships from the DPRK in the Chinese ports also had to refute at the level of a special application. “I don’t know where did this information. Hope that the relevant media will be guided by a responsible attitude in the coverage of events will not be groundless and, moreover, will not to fabricate news,” said March 23, 2016, the official representative of the Chinese foreign Ministry Hua Chunying.
So, encountering information about the scandals between China and North Korea, we must remember that although there are difficulties, not every sensation is true. To fan the flies from the elephant easier than from nothing, and the enemies of DPRK, use it.
