The Philippines’ president, Rodrigo Duterte, has described North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a “fool” and a “son of a bitch” just days before Manila hosts an international meeting certain to address Pyongyang’s long-range missile tests. Duterte held nothing back in rebuking Kim for “playing with dangerous toys"...
...setting the stage for next week’s rare get-together, to be attended by foreign ministers of all the countries involved in the standoff on the Korean peninsula. “This Kim Jong-un, a fool ... he is playing with dangerous toys, that fool,” Duterte told tax officials in a speech. “That chubby face that looks kind...

Since y'day in the int'l media, for example The Guardian(UK): North Korea said on Sunday it had detained another US citizen over unspecified hostile acts. The official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Kim Hak Song had worked for the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology before he was held on Saturday...
김학송 = Kim Hak Song
But why KCNA, in its English "report"...
...is using 'Xin Xuesong'(金学松/한자:金學松, Kim Hak-song's Chinese name)???
Questions upon questions...(^^)
Two days ago(5.03) KCNA published the following "Commentary on DPRK-China Relations", 'written' by 'Kim Chol'(*):
A string of absurd and reckless remarks are now heard from big neighboring countries, perhaps frightened at the U.S. blackmail and war racket, every day only to render the acute situation of the Korean peninsula more strained.
The People's Daily and the Global Times, widely known as media speaking for the official stand of the Chinese party and government, have recently carried commentaries asserting that the DPRK's access to nukes poses a threat to the national interests of China. They shifted the blame for the deteriorated relations between the DPRK and China onto the DPRK and raised lame excuses for the base acts of dancing to the tune of the U.S.
Those commentaries claimed that the DPRK poses a threat to "the security in the northeastern region of China" by conducting nuclear tests less than 100 km away from its border with China. They even talked rubbish that the DPRK strains the situation in Northeast Asia and "offers the U.S. excuses for deploying more strategic assets" in the region.
Not content with such paradox, the commentaries asserted that to remain averse to the DPRK's access to nukes is to preserve interests common to the U.S. and China, calling for slapping harsher sanctions against the DPRK in order to avert a war which would bring danger to China.
The newspapers, even claiming China holds the initiative in handling the DPRK-China relations, made no scruple of letting out a string of provocative remarks urging the DPRK to choose one among such options if it doesn't want military confrontation with China--"whether to face protracted isolation or to preserve national security by making a U-turn" and whether to break Sino-DPRK friendship or to dismantle its nukes.
This is just a wanton violation of the independent and legitimate rights, dignity and supreme interests of the DPRK and, furthermore, constitutes an undisguised threat to an honest-minded neighboring country which has a long history and tradition of friendship.
China is hyping up "damage caused by the DPRK's nuclear tests" in its three northeastern provinces. This only reveals the ulterior purpose sought by it, being displeased with the DPRK's rapid development of nukes.
As far as "violation of national interests" oft-repeated by politicians and media persons of China is concerned, it is just the issue that the DPRK should rather talk much about.
It is just the DPRK whose strategic interests have been repeatedly violated due to insincerity and betrayal on the part of its partner, not China at all.
Some theorists of China are spouting a load of nonsense that the DPRK's access to nukes strains the situation in Northeast Asia and offers the U.S. an excuse for beefing up its strategic assets in the region. But the U.S. had activated its strategy for dominating Asia-Pacific long before the DPRK had access to nukes, and its primary target is just China.
China should acknowledge in an honest manner that the DPRK has just contributed to protecting peace and security of China, foiling the U.S. scheme for aggression by waging a hard fight in the frontline of the showdown with the U.S. for more than seven decades, and thank the DPRK for it.
Some ignorant politicians and media persons of China daringly assert that the traditional relations of the DPRK-China friendship were in line with the interests of each county in the past. They are advised to clearly understand the essence of history before opening their mouth.
Their call for not only slapping stricter sanctions but also not ruling out a military intervention if the DPRK refuses to abandon its nuclear program is no more than an extremely ego-driven theory based on big-power chauvinism that not only the strategic interests but also the dignity and vital rights of the DPRK should be sacrificed for the interests of China.
One must clearly understand that the DPRK's line of access to nukes for the existence and development of the country can neither be changed nor shaken and that the DPRK will never beg for the maintenance of friendship with China, risking its nuclear program which is as precious as its own life, no matter how valuable the friendship is.
The DPRK, which has already become one of the most powerful nuclear weapons state, does not feel the need to think over how many options it has now.
China should no longer try to test the limits of the DPRK's patience but make proper strategic option, facing up to the situation.
China had better ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by its reckless act of chopping down the pillar of the DPRK-China relations.
China's (semi-official)response via Global Times(環球時報, 5.04):

Related articles in the S. Korean media you'll get here(by JoongAng Ilbo) and here(by Hankyoreh).
* Note: One odd detail stands out for me in this article from the Korean Central News Agency: The author is identified only as Kim Chol. That's the same name that appears on the passport that Kim Jong Nam - the half brother of Kim Jong Un - used during his last visit to Malaysia, where he was assassinated. An odd choice of a byline by KCNA. I wonder what message that was intended to convey... (comment on WSJ, 5.03)

PS. A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Youth League in a statement Sunday declared the will of the Korean youths to resolutely and mercilessly wipe out the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet warmongers.
Upon hearing the news that the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet group of traitors are making desperate efforts to hurt the dignity of the DPRK and bring down its socialist system while openly talking about "preemptive attack", five-million youth vanguard of the DPRK are hardening their will to wipe out the enemies with the surging rages at them, the statement said, and went on: The Paektusan large contingents of young people are now waiting for the final order of the headquarters of the revolution, keeping themselves fully combat-ready to mercilessly wipe out with five million nuclear bombs the group of devils who are trying to bring a nuclear disaster to the inviolable country.
The U.S. imperialists should know that the earth will break if invincible nuclear force and the five million large contingents of young people equipped with nuclear bombs vent their wrath.
If the enemies show a slight provocation, we youth vanguard, detached force of the Supreme Commander and unit of stalwart fighters for accomplishing the cause of the Juche revolution, will liberate south Korea at a go and wipe out all the strongholds of the empire of evils beyond the Pacific, like a charge of dynamite set off, like lightning and storm of Mt Paektu in the van of the confrontation with the U.S. and the sacred war for national reunification.
The world will clearly witness how the Paektusan large contingents of young people will annihilate all aggressors and provokers on the earth and display fireworks of the final victory. (source: KCNA, 4.23)
"Specter of military option for North Korea on the rise"(Asia Times, 1.05)
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter vowed Sunday to shoot down any North Korean missile that flies toward the U.S. or its allies...(Yonhap, 1.09)
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Tuesday that the U.S. could seek "more forceful ways" to affect North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's thinking if he persists in forging ahead with intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities...(Yonhap, 1.10)
Former US Secretary of Defense William Perry, one of the US’s leading realist advocates of dialogue with North Korea, suggested Washington should proactively attempt negotiations with Pyongyang, but also consider “Plan B” actions such as shooting down airborne North Korean missiles in case the talks fail...(Hankyoreh, 1.11)
And here you'll get NK's answer, via today's KCNA: It is the stand of the DPRK to steadily bolster up its capability for self-defence and preemptive attack, the pivot of which is the nuclear force, unless the U.S. makes a switchover in its hostile policy toward the DPRK, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says in an article.
Noting that the self-defensive war deterrence of the DPRK provides a sure guarantee for peace and stability in the region and peace and security of the world, the article goes on:
It is the decisive resolution and will of the DPRK army and people to beat back the aggressors trying hard to stifle it with nukes, through their stronger nuclear strikes.
The DPRK has made its nuclear weapons smaller, lighter and diversified and is possessed of various type delivery means capable of making nuclear strikes at anywhere anytime.
Eye-opening events of bolstering up defence capability will take place in the DPRK one after another.
The U.S. would not be safe though it is more than ten thousand kilometers away from the DPRK. It will not be long before the DPRK's ICBM strikes terror into the hearts of the U.S. warmongers.
The U.S. is mulling frightening the Korean people through the UN "sanctions resolution", but nothing can match the mysterious might of the single-minded unity of all the service personnel and people of the DPRK and their self-development capability.
The world will get further confident that the DPRK will demonstrate its might as a nuclear power and military power in the East and that the DPRK's victory in the standoff with the U.S. is the ever-lasting tradition of the former.
Hey KimJU(you f*cking little fat bastard boy!!)... possibly you're misinterpreting the intentions by the U.S.A.!? They're not just talking about "UN 'sanctions resolution'" anymore... They're talking about "military options" against YOU!!
Eventually you've only ONE solution to survive...
Yesterday's KCNA published the following(bullshit): We will emerge victorious in this anti-disaster battle under the guidance of supreme leader Kim Jong Un. All the inhabitants in flood-hit Musan County are now filled with deep yearning for him who works heart and soul to stabilize their life...
Exactly! As you can see here: "Supreme leader" Kim Jong Un "works heart and soul to stabilize their life"...
Realizing again that we can not live even a moment without his care, we will surely achieve the miraculous victory of converting misfortune...
...into favorable...
...conditions(KCNA, 9.20).

NO COMMENT...
...except ONE question: where the 'DPRK Olympic Players Team' spend its "leisure time" in the last 7 days(i.e. WHERE THEY'VE BEEN between 8.21 and 8.28)??
Two days ago(8.21) Korea Herald reported that the "Residents of Seongju-gun, North Gyeongsang Province, on Sunday reached a consensus to request the Defense Ministry to consider an alternate spot other than the area's Seongsan-ri to locate the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system..."
But, as you can see here...
...the residents reached NO "consensus"! Sunday(8.21) evening/night once again 1,500 people gathered in front of the Seongju county office to clarify their stance: "No THAAD deployment in S. Korea!"
Here you can follow the latest developments as reported by the S. Korean media:
☞ Seongju residents willing to consider alternate site for THAAD (Yonhap, 8.19)
☞ Residents fail to discuss alternative THAAD site (Korea Times, 8.20)
☞ Residents’ group to request alternate location for THAAD (K. Herald, 8.21)
☞ S. Korea to evaluate alternative site for THAAD deployment (Yonhap, 8.22)
☞ Resistance to THAAD deployment spreading to alternative candidate site (Hankyoreh, 8.22)
☞ Seongju chief okays Thaad, but not at Seongsan (JoongAng Ilbo, 8.23)
☞ THAAD stalemate deepening (Korea Times, 8.23)
PS. As you can see here...
...even in Seongju the resistance is still going on! Last night more than 1,200 residents gathered in front of the county office to held their 41st candlelight protest rally, but now under a new motto "THAAD deployment... Not HERE, Not THERE &NOWHERE ELSE!!"
