North Korea Criticizes Blinken’s Visit To China

North Korea slammed US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s recent visit to Beijing as a ‘begging trip’ to defuse tensions, calling it a policy failure to exert pressure on China.

Blinken and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Monday in one of the most major US-China discussions since US President Joe Biden took office, and agreed to stabilise their strong rivalry so that it does not devolve into violence.

Following the meeting on Monday, Blinken encouraged China to push North Korea to stop launching missiles, citing Beijing’s unique position to press Pyongyang to engage in dialogue.

In a commentary carried by the North’s KCNA news agency, Jong Yong Hak, described as an international affairs analyst, said the rare visit was aimed at begging for tensions to be eased because the attempt to press and restrain China may become a boomerang striking a fatal blow to the U.S. economy.

“In a nutshell, the recent junket of the US State Secretary can never be judged as anything other than a disgraceful begging trip of the provoker admitting the failure of the policy of putting pressure on China”, Jong Yong Hak continued.

Jong Yong Hak further stated, “The US is to blame for rising regional tensions through anti-China complexes such as the QUAD grouping with Japan, India, and Australia and the AUKUS pact with Britain and Australia”.

“It is the height of the double-dealing and impudence peculiar to the U.S. to provoke first and then talk about the so-called ‘responsible control over divergence of opinion”, Jong Yong Hak added.

Daniel Kritenbrink, the United States assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, is slated to visit South Korea on Wednesday to advise Seoul officials on the two days of negotiations in China.
