North Korea criticises US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's recent visit to Beijing as a 'begging trip' to ease tensions in what it calls a policy failure to pressure China
Rare visit by top US diplomat was aimed at begging for relaxation of tensions as "attempt to press and restrain China may become a boomerang striking a fatal blow to the US economy," says a commentary carried by North's KCNA news agency.Antony Blinken meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, on June 19, 2023. / Photo: Reuters
At one of the most significant US-China exchanges since US President Joe Biden took office, Blinken and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Monday and agreed to stabilise their intense rivalry so it did not veer into conflict. In a commentary carried by the North's KCNA news agency, Jong Yong-hak, whom it described as an international affairs analyst, said the rare visit was aimed at begging for the relaxation of tensions as the"attempt to press and restrain China may become a boomerang striking a fatal blow to the US economy."
The commentary said the United States was responsible for escalating regional tensions with"anti-China complexes," such as the Quad grouping with Japan, India and Australia and the Aukus security pact with Britain and Australia.
