KOREA/NORTH KOREA

South Korea’s “Joongang Ilbo” reported on July 5 that Lee Jae-ming once said, “The Republic of Korea is different from other countries. The government did not liquidate the pro-Japanese forces during the establishment process, allowing the pro-Japanese forces to cooperate with the American occupation forces and maintain the original Rule system”.

　　Lee Jae-Ming also made relevant remarks at the Lee Rok History and Literature Museum in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, saying that “we have not been clean enough since the founding of the country.” This is in line with the previous conception that the President of the Liberation Association Jin Yuanxiong called the U.S. military the “occupying army” and the Soviet army the “liberation army” when he gave a speech to high school students.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have pledged to strengthen their friendly relations as they exchanged messages on the 60th anniversary of a bilateral landmark defense treaty.
The close ties between the nations have been “gaining momentum” in recent years, having “comprehensively developed onto a higher stage in all fields, including politics, economy, military and culture,” Kim said, according to North Korean state news agency KCNA.

JFFREY KAYE—Wherever the long denials of U.S. use of biological weapons during the Korean War may have originated, and no matter what the authority behind them, the denials fade away in the face of new unassailable documentation from U.S. government records of germ warfare attacks against North Korean and Chinese military units. The question now is how will U.S. historians, political scientists, the press, and the public respond to this turnabout regarding the old germ war charges.

The U.S.’ geopolitical position has shifted over the past four years, with some of the more prolific examples in 2020 specifically being the fact that China’s economy became a full sixth (17%) larger than that of America,[1] and that China’s military fully matched U.S. spending levels on new acquisitions. The formerly unthinkable fact that Iran was able to brazenly launch a missile attack on an American military base in Iraq in January and cause over 100 casualties without suffering retribution was an earlier example that year.
