"U.S. Is Accountable for Rupture of Hanoi Summit
Talks: DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson


Pyongyang, May 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(DPRK) gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA on May
24, as regards the attempt revealing within the United States to
impute to the DPRK the cause for the rupture of the Hanoi
DPRK-U.S. summit talks:

As we have stated before, the underlying cause of setback of the
DPRK-U.S. summit talks in Hanoi is the arbitrary and dishonest
position taken by the United States, insisting on a method which
is totally impossible to get through.

For the sake of building confidence, a main key to an alleviation
of the DPRK-U.S. hostile relations, we took crucial and meaningful
measures of a strategically decisive nature including the
discontinuation of nuclear test and test-fire of intercontinental
ballistic missile, and we also took a broadminded step towards the
realization of the repatriation of the American POW/MIA remains.

However, the United States did not respond to our goodwill
measures in the same manner, but deliberately pushed the talks to
a rupture by merely claiming the unilateral disarmament of the
DPRK.

Notwithstanding the above facts, the United States attempts to
ascribe the setback of the DPRK-U.S. summit talks in Hanoi to a
completely irrelevant issue and to impute the responsibility for
the ruptured talks to the DPRK. Such American ulterior intention
definitely needs to be brought to the attention.

We hereby make it clear once again that the United States would
not be able to move us even an inch with the device it is now
weighing in its mind, and the further its mistrust and hostile
acts towards the DPRK grow, the fiercer our reaction will be.

Unless the United States puts aside the current method of
calculation and comes forward with a new method of calculation,
the DPRK-U.S. dialogue will never be resumed and by extension, the
prospect for resolving the nuclear issue will be much gloomy.

The U.S. would be well advised to wake up to reality and learn
anew how to have dialogue and negotiation."
...
You know, you would THINK that NK could (and would) find a Korean with ample American English experience to translate their Press Releases so they don't sound like stereotypical "Dr. Evil Kim Rhee Pak" spy action flick dialogue.

..wouldn'tcha...?

And if not, why?

(( Perhaps they don't want to be charged with cultural appropriation, for using English "too good". ))

** 25-May-2019 World View: Long queues of Mount Everest climbers wait to reach summit

Image
  • Line of climbers near the Mount Everest summit
The above photo, which was taken last week by someone climbing Mount
Everest, has gone viral. It shows the long lines of people who have almost
reached the summit, and who must now wait in line for hours to complete
the climb.

The climbers are waiting in an area 26,200 feet above sea level called
"The Death Zone." At that point, an exhausted climber must deal with
everything from thin air to vertigo, not to mention high winds,
blinding snow, and freezing temperatures. 17 people have died so far
this year, making it the worst season in decades. Some are blaming
the deaths on overcrowding.

Nepal’s tourism ministry issued 381 climbing permits this year, the
highest number on record. Mount Everest climbers form a major source
of income for Nepal and for the Sherpas who serve as guides.

I can't believe it has taken so long for Western countries to push back against Huawei. The US Congress declared them a national security threat in 2012, but hasn't done anything about it. If it weren't for President Trump, the Chinese would have enslaved the world through 5G tech. The US needs to imprison Ren's daughter for life.

** 26-May-2019 Takin' a trip to China

The following is an edited version of my e-mail response to a web site
reader:

Dear Mark,
> Firstly, What are you views on the US policy on Huawei and
> potentially DJI and Hikvision.
As you know, my personal experience spending five years implementing
board level operating systems for embedded systems has made it clear
that it would be easy for a Huawei engineer with the right skills to
install undetectable backdoors in Huawei chips. Huawei is also
required by China's National Intelligence Law, passed in 2017, to
fully cooperate with China's military in collecting intelligence, so
installation of these undectable backdoors is required by Chinese law.

China's military is preparing for war in every possible way. By
aggressively subsidizing Huawei's 5G products, the CCP's strategy is
to have as much of the global internet running on Huawei devices as
possible. When China launches its war, China's control of the global
internet will give China's military an enormous advantage.

Trump's policy on Huawei has less to do with trade and more with
trying to cripple China's military strategy. This is going to be a
major international issue, especially since the US-China trade talks
have collapsed after China reneged on previous agreements.

So despite wishful thinking on the part of some people, the US policy
is here to stay, and will trigger increasingly hostile responses by
the CCP.

With regard to Hikvision and DJI, they have just been banned by the
US, like Huawei. China is using these products for massive
surveillance of Chinese citizens, especially in Xinjiang. Any city in
the world that installs these cameras should be aware that Hikvision
and DJI are required by China's military to cooperate in collecting
foreign intelligence, and these cameras would have undetectable
backdoors that allow them to send surveillance data back to the
Chinese military.

I understand why investors can't simply ignore these three companies,
but at the very least having anything to do with them is playing with
fire.

You have every reason to be uncomfortable. My web site,
GenerationalDynamics.com, has been under a continual low-level DDOS
attack from Chinese IP addresses since 2011. The CCP has arrested
Canadian citizens and threatened them with execution in retaliation
for the arrest of Huawei's CFO Meng Wanzhou.

The CCP is getting more and more countries pissed off at them, and
they would like to reduce that level of international hostility. As
far as I know, the UK is not currently a target country, and they
would not wish to create an international incident by arresting
someone like you. However, I would not do anything (like taking
pictures) that might be misinterpreted by the CCP.

By the way, as an international traveler you would be well known to
China's military. They're setting up their "social credit system,"
which is a database of every person in China and it's been extended to
people around the world by hacking hundreds of millions of records
from personnel, airline, hotel, and other private and government
databases in every country.

Well, the one consolation is that more and more people internationally
are becoming aware of the danger. On the other hand, there's going to
be a war anyway, so it probably doesn't matter.

It's an interesting question what the effect will be of China's
control of the Huawei devices in the internet. Once the war begins, I
would expect all those Huawei devices to be shut down or destroyed, so
the advantage to China's military may only be brief.

At any rate, if the world becomes enslaved, I doubt that 5G will play
a big role in that.
