S. Koreans Closely Watch Authorities: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, June 14 (KCNA) -- The U.S. has buckled down to taming the south Korean authorities in an undisguised manner. Sending government delegation, Congressional delegation and individual politicians to south Korea in succession, the U.S. is inquiring into the stand of its stooges to the north-south relations and THAAD deployment issue, stressing that "dialogue with the north is only possible under proper precondition" and "THAAD deployment should not be withdrawn as it was under the decision made between allies." After summoning Chongwadae and Foreign Ministry authorities to Washington, the U.S. enticed them not to say anything offending at the south Korea-U.S. summit meeting due in the latter half of June, uttering such honeyed words that when the south Korean chief executive visits the U.S., it would "treat him with utmost courtesy". Lurking behind this is the U.S. inveterate repugnancy to the democratic and pro-reform forces in south Korea, as well as the uneasiness about the a serous obstacle that may be created in the way of realizing its DPRK policy and strategy for domination over Asia-Pacific with the emergence of the present "government" in south Korea. The U.S. has tamed the democratic forces to keep pace with it with utmost vigilance whenever they rose to power in south Korea. It is, therefore, clear that the upcoming "south Korea-U.S. summit meeting" would serve as an "open process for brainwashing" the south Korean chief executive. The south Korean authorities will be mistaken if they think they can maintain their political life by yielding to the U.S. Servility to outsiders would lead to ruin and swimming with the mindset of the people is the only just way for existence and justice. This is the truth of history. The south Korean authorities have to make clear their stand to this question of whether they would follow the people's mindset or would submit to the U.S. The people are closely watching the authorities. -0-
