Brothers in Arms

Describing it as being a “just cause”, North Korea has, this weak, released a strongly worded statement reaffirming Pyongyang's support for 一個中國 (The One China Policy), and denouncing any efforts to separate China and its unwilling island sibling Chinese-Taiwan.
| "The Korean people remain firm in their stand of opposing the moves of secessionist forces advocating 'Taiwan independence' and supporting the just cause of the Chinese people" 로동신문 ( Rodong Sinmun), North Korea. |
The statement was made on Saturday through the 로동신문 (the Rodong Sinmun), and comes in response to the 27 February announcement that Taiwanese President 陳水扁 (Chen Shui-Bian) had authorized the dissolution of the contentious Sino-Taiwanese 國家統一委員會 (National Reunification Council); the body set up to manage 'eventual reunification' with the Mainland China.
An act which North Korea's governing Central Committee described as being 'Criminal'.
Over Stretching?
Contentiously, 로동신문 ( Rodong Sinmun) also claimed that China had 'won enormous sympathy' from around the world, for its commitment to maintaining its territorial integrity under the one China principle. A view which many China watchers emphatically dispute
로동신문 (Rodong Sinmun)?
로동신문, (勞動新聞)); Literally, "The Workers News", is a daily news sheet produced in North Korea, and is the official publication of the country's ruling Central Committee.
It usually consists of 5-7 pages, and carries only the official line of the North Korean government. It is considered to be 'heavily censored' even by Chinese standards.
Due to differences in dialect between North and South Korean, and differences in romanization standards, 로동신문 can be referred to as:
Rodong Sinmun
Nodong Sinmun
Nodong Shinmu

I wonder if North Korea sees Pyongyang as the 21st century Washington, the
fulcrum of international power, and is making its alignment early and
strong, to be in on the kill when the US becomes a second class state, due
to its own stupidity in electing certain kind of leadership and letting
reactionary reductionist forces run the country. The Pacific Rim nations
will leave their mark during this century, I predict, though I won't live
long enough to see it.
