The authorities of North Korea have blamed the United States for "acting recklessly" and systematically undermining stability in the Taiwan Strait through the constant transfer of military weaponry to the island, warning Washington of possible "unforeseeable" consequences from this interference policy.
In a text published by the North Korean official agency KCNA, international affairs analyst Kim Myong Chol —considered an unofficial spokesperson for the regime— accuses the U.S. Administration of supplying weapons to "separatist" forces under the pretext of preserving peace in the Asia-Pacific. The article equates the recent deployment of U.S. fighter jets on Taiwanese territory with the action of "placing a bomb at someone's door insisting that it is to guarantee the security of that house."
The North Korean Executive also reproaches Washington for having made the delivery of weaponry to Taipei a stable practice, despite having officially recognized the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government.
According to Pyongyang, U.S. military assistance to the island through foreign sales has exceeded 39 billion dollars (34.7 billion euros) over the last ten years —including 11 billion dollars (9.79 billion euros) authorized at the end of last year— to which a new arms package in processing valued at 14 billion dollars (12.45 billion euros) would be added, according to figures released by the North Korean state agency itself.
In his statement, the North Korean commentator reiterates Pyongyang's support for Beijing and states that the issue of Taiwan constitutes an "internal matter" in which no external power is legitimized to intervene, while describing reunification as an "inevitable historical process that no one can oppose." In this line, he urges the United States to behave "rationally" and to reflect on whether it is really willing to face a direct confrontation with "the formidable national strength" of China in the name of the island's security.
