North Korea intimidate the u.s will
shoot their nuclear missile cause biden
defend taiwan of china. North Korea on saturday accused the
biden administration of raising military
tensions with China through its reckless
backing of Taiwan and said that the
growing u.s military presence in the
region constitutes a potential threat to
the north. In comments carried by state media, North Korea vice foreign minister Pak Myung-Ho
criticized the united states for sending
warships through the Taiwan strait and
providing Taiwan with upgraded weapon
systems and military training.
The United States indiscreet meddling in
issues regarding taiwan which the north
sees as entirely a chinese internal
affair threatens to touch off a delicate
situation on the korean peninsula. Pak's statement came a day after u.s
president Joe Biden told a CNN town hall
event that the united states was
committed to coming to taiwan's defence
if it comes under attack from china. While that seemed to blur washington's
long-held stance of maintaining
strategic ambiguity on whether it would
intervene if China were to attack Taiwan.
White House spokeswoman Jen Pasaki said Biden had no intent to convey a change
in policy. China and Taiwan split amid civil war in
1949 and although it maintains formal
diplomatic relations only with Beijing. The u.s remains committed by law to
ensure taiwan can defend itself from
outside threats.
North Korea has increasingly criticized
the united states broader security role
in the asia pacific amid intensifying
competition with china Pyongyang's major
ally and economic lifeline. Last month the north threatened
unspecified countermeasures following
the biden administration's decision to
provide nuclear-powered submarines to Australia. It is a well-known fact that the u.s
troops and its military bases in South Korea are in use to put pressure on
china and that the huge forces of the
u.s and its satellite states which are
being concentrated near taiwan can be
committed to a military operation
targeting the dprk at any time.
Pak said
using an abbreviation of the north's
formal name the democratic people's
republic of Korea. He said the increasing military presence
of us-led hostile forces in the region
was based on a lame assertion that North Korea and China would cause trouble in
taiwan and the Korean Peninsula. This reality proves that the u.s is in
its bid to stifle our country and china
both socialist countries in order to
hold on to its supremacy hack said.
Nuclear negotiations between Washington
and Pyongyang have stalled for more than
two years over the issue of relaxing
crippling u.s led sanctions against
north korea in return for steps by the
north to wind down its nuclear weapons
program. Pyongyang sees the possession of nuclear
weapons as the ultimate guarantor of the
survival of the Kim family regime that
has run the country with an iron fist
since the 1940.
Ending a months-long lull in september North Korea has been ramping up its
missile tests while making conditional
peace offers to seoul reviving a pattern
of pressuring south korea to try to get
what it wants from the united states. Sung Kim Biden's special envoy for North Korea was expected to arrive in South Korea later on saturday for talks with
allies on reviving negotiations with the
north.
The Biden administration's pull-out from Afghanistan underscored a broader shift
in u.s focus away from counter-terrorism
and so-called rogue states like north
korea and iran. that is putting the focus on confronting
a near-peer adversary in China and part
of that apparent strategy appears to be
offering the north a resumption of talks
without preconditions. But the north has so far rejected the
idea of open-ended talks saying that
washington must abandon its hostile
policy a term North Korea mainly refers
to sanctions and u.s south korea joint
military exercises.
