North Korea criticises Blinken’s China visit as ‘begging trip’

SEOUL – North Korea on Wednesday criticised US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s recent visit to Beijing as a “begging trip” to ease tensions in what it called a policy failure to pressure China.

At one of the most significant US-China exchanges since US President Joe Biden took office, Mr Blinken and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Monday and agreed to stabilise their intense rivalry so it did not veer into conflict.

Mr Blinken said after the meeting on Monday that he urged China to encourage North Korea to stop launching missiles as Beijing holds a “unique position” to press Pyongyang to engage in dialogue.

In a commentary carried by the North’s KCNA news agency, Mr 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”.

“In a word, the US state secretary’s recent junket can never be judged otherwise than a disgraceful begging trip of the provoker admitting the failure of the policy of putting pressure on China,” the commentary said.

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 pact with Britain and Australia.

“It is the height of the double-dealing and impudence peculiar to the US to provoke first and then talk about the so-called ‘responsible control over divergence of opinion’,” the commentary said.

North Korea criticizes Blinken's China visit as 'begging trip'

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 stabilize their intense rivalry..

'Attempt to press and restrain China may become a boomerang striking a fatal blow to the US economy'

SEOUL, June 21 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Wednesday called U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's latest visit to China a "disgraceful begging trip," claiming it demonstrated the U.S. failure in its policy of putting pressure on Beijing.

Jong Yong-hak, an analyst on international affairs, said Blinken flew to China to "beg for the relaxation" of worsened bilateral ties, as its pressure policy on China dealt a fatal blow to the U.S. economy and a China-U.S. confrontation could trigger an unprecedented military conflict.

"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 said in an English-language article carried by the Korean Central News Agency.

The analyst claimed Blinken's recent visit was nothing but "a disgraceful begging trip of the provoker admitting the failure of the policy of putting pressure on China."

During Blinken's trip on Sunday and Monday, the first to China by a U.S. secretary of state in five years, Washington and Beijing agreed to stabilize their relations amid an intensified rivalry between the two, although they failed to produce a major breakthrough.

Blinken called on China to use its influence on Pyongyang to stop the secretive regime from making further provocations, he told reporters Monday, amid concerns that the North may soon launch a space rocket carrying a military spy satellite after a failed launch in May.

'Begging Trip': North Korea criticises Blinken's China Visit

The United States and China may have resumed high-level talks, but their struggle for global dominance and influence remains unchecked and mutual suspicion remains high.

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 talked 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.

Blinken set low expectations for his visit to Beijing this week, and he exceeded them. The most the opponents can hope for these days is that things don’t get much worse.

Blinken pointed to difficult days ahead, while China’s foreign ministry warned the relationship was in a downward spiral.

Blinken said after the meeting on Monday that he urged China to encourage North Korea to stop launching missiles as Beijing holds a “unique position” to press Pyongyang to engage in dialogue.

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 U.S. economy.”

“In a word, the U.S. state secretary’s recent junket can never be judged otherwise than a disgraceful begging trip of the provoker admitting the failure of the policy of putting pressure on China,” the commentary said.

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 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,’” the commentary said.

Daniel Kritenbrink, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs who was also on the Beijing trip, is expected to visit South Korea on Wednesday to brief Seoul officials on the two days of talks in China, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported.
