My

surely end with their victory.
I

Extending

Press Statement of
DPRK Foreign Ministry
Pyongyang,
October 6 (KCNA) -- The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea issued the following press statement "We will be more resolute and
clear in exercising our sovereignty toward the most hostile state" on
Tuesday:
New
danger of war is prevailing along the southern border of the DPRK, bounded by
the state most hostile toward it.
The
ROK made public the "final investigation results", in which it
forcibly linked with us the "mine explosion case" that occurred in a
border area, and called for "responsive diplomatic and military
steps" to be taken against our state with a "mine-removing
operation" as the start.
As
we already stated, the ROK fully betrayed and proved itself what the ulterior
purpose of the farce plotted and orchestrated by Seoul is.
The
"mine-explosion case" is a sinister obstructive move intended to
brand our fortification of the southern border, downright exercise of the
sovereignty, as a "military invasion" and delay and check it, and
this is no more than a poor trick of the ROK military to shift the blame for
its own accident onto us.
The
ROK seeks to hold the DPRK accountable for the premeditated farce, fabricated
and determined unilaterally by it, and tarnish the latter's international
image. It is a grave provocation never to be overlooked and a wanton violation
of our sovereignty that deserves sure punishment.
The
Foreign Ministry of the DPRK categorically rejects the despicable attempt of
the ROK and solemnly clarifies that our state will exercise its just sovereign rights
in a more resolute and bold manner to ensure the security of the southern
border.
We
do not care about them trying to remove the mines irrelevant to us, and we have
no reason to pay heed to such farce of the ROK.
However,
if a jackboot or a spark of fire from the ROK goes even a millimeter beyond the
border to violate our territory, the border guard forces of the DPRK will take
immediate and powerful counteraction.
We
make it clear that if a similar thing happens again in the ROK in the future,
we are not responsible for it but the side, which sustained it, is entirely
accountable.
As
already clarified, the DPRK will never discuss with the enemy countries the
issue of exercising its military sovereignty within its territory but defend
its territorial sovereignty by thoroughly exercising its power, not by
negotiations.
We
take this opportunity to reaffirm that it is the official stand of the DPRK
government.
The
malicious attempt of the ROK to attain its sinister purpose through a mean
farce can never work in any case.
The
Democratic People's Republic of Korea will be most resolute and definite in
exercising its sovereignty toward the relation with the most hostile state, in
which any slightest tolerance, concession and connivance are disallowed.
U.S. Is Acting Rashly:
International Affairs Analyst
Pyongyang,
October 7 (KCNA) -- Kim Myong Chol, an international affairs analyst of the
DPRK, released the following article "The U.S. is acting rashly":
"Peace
and stability of the Taiwan Strait" is something always repeated by the
United States and its allies in the international arena.
However,
the U.S. has systematically destroyed regional stability and persistently
escalated the situation under the pretext of "opposing unilateral attempt
at change of phenomenon" in the Taiwan Strait.
The
emergence of fighter jets sold by the U.S. on the island of Taiwan a few days
ago is another typical example of the U.S. "peculiar contribution" to
"peace and stability" of the Taiwan Strait.
The
U.S. says that the sale of weapons to Taiwan is for "peace in the
strait", but this is nothing but a shameless act of planting a bomb at the
gate of other's house and asserting that the bomb is for ensuring the security
of the house.
When
the People's Republic of China and the U.S. established their diplomatic
relations, the latter recognized the government of the former as the only
legitimate government of China and Taiwan as a part of the former. But the U.S.
made it its policy and obligation to sell weapons to Taiwan, irrespective of
the change of its administration, and has supported the separatist forces
pursuing "Taiwan's independence" and challenging the
"one-China" principle.
In
the past decade alone, the cost of munitions supplied by the U.S. to Taiwan in
the form of overseas arms sales totaled more than 39 billion US dollars. This
includes 11 billion US dollars, the largest-ever arms sales approved by the
present U.S. administration at the end of last year.
Not
content with this, the U.S. has made it a fait accompli to additionally sell
weapons worth 14 billion US dollars to Taiwan.
Herein
lies the reason why peace and stability have not been restored in the Taiwan
Strait for decades.
Recently,
the U.S. proclaimed the first island chain including Taiwan as the forefront
for suppressing China. It seeks to deploy the latest missiles on an island of
Japan closest to Taiwan and "internationalize" the Taiwan issue by
making its warships and aircraft pass through the Taiwan Strait under the
signboard of "freedom of navigation".
This
proves once again that "peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait"
touted by the U.S. is, in essence, "support for Taiwan's power-based
independence" and that the "one-China" policy advocated by it is
nothing but the one for "perpetuating the division of China by
force".
The
Taiwan issue is an internal affair of China, so how to settle it is entirely
the affair of the Chinese people, and no outside forces have the right to
interfere in it.
Obviously,
the U.S. did up the wrong button on the Taiwan issue and has taken again a
dangerous course whose consequences are difficult to imagine.
Some
American fighters to be deployed in Taiwan may be a comfort to the separatists
for a while, but it cannot bridge the striking gap between the both sides in
terms of capability.
No
matter what method the Taiwanese separatists employ and what support the U.S.
renders to Taiwan, it can neither deny the fact that Taiwan is a part of China
nor influence the basic recognition of the international community that adheres
to the principle of "one China".
The
U.S. should think twice whether it is ready to stand in frontal confrontation
with the powerful national power of the People's Republic of China for the
security of Taiwan and whether it can cope with its consequences. If it is worried
about the consequences, it had better think and act rationally.
Justice
is not afraid of confrontation with injustice.
No
one should question the ability and will of the People's Republic of China to
defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity and core interests.
China's
effort to retake Taiwan is an indispensable and just sacred cause for making
abnormalities normality, making injustice justice and making instability
stability. It is an irrefutable law-governed historical process that the island
of Taiwan becomes a part of China again.
The
instability of the Taiwan Strait precisely means the crisis of the United
States. Taiwan's return to China is a matter of time.
