DPRK's Satellite Launch Supported by General Association of Koreans in China
Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- A spokesman of the General Association of Koreans in China released a statement on January 23 under the title of "We condemn the unpardonable criminal acts which wantonly infringed upon the sovereignty of the DPRK."

The statement called the U.S.-masterminded "resolution" an outrageous hostile act aimed to ban the DPRK from launching satellites for peaceful purposes and tighten the "sanctions" to deter it from making economic development and increasing the defense capabilities.

It said that not a few countries in the world have launched satellites but the UNSC has never taken up for discussion or called into question the satellite launches by them. It is asserting the gangster-like logic that only the DPRK's satellite launch was "illegal," the statement noted.

The UNSC adopted the "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK in breach of international law and in line with the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, revealing its sordid aims to force the DPRK to disarm itself and overthrow the social system in it, the statement said, and went on:

The UNSC's stand is that the country to which it is hostile should neither possess the self-defensive means nor launch a satellite for peaceful purposes.

It is, however, mistaken if it thinks that its shameless high-handed and arbitrary practices will work on the DPRK.

The General Association of Koreans in China and all the Koreans in China fully support the statement of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK which declared that it would not sit for any dialogue for discussing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula but take whatever physical countermeasures for increasing the military capabilities for self-defence including the nuclear deterrence quantitatively and qualitatively to cope with the prevailing situation.
