  • Good question. I like your joke about DPRK’s colorful use of language. I like when DPRK says that the US is ‘thrice-cursed’.

    Hooliganism is a real crime that still happens to this day. Hooliganism is the act of rioting after sporting events, such as football/soccer. Sports hooligans in the UK are associated with far right politics. The white supremacy group ‘English Defense League’ (EDL) formed from sports hooliganism in 2009.

    As for how DPRK will respond to finding a drone, I think they will do more missile testing. DPRK had warned they would do retaliation on December 25 and then they did some missile testing on January 2. This new drone was recovered on January 4. Probably in a few days, DPRK shoots a missile towards the sea.

    In the Summer of 2024, DPRK floated balloons filled with trash into the South, in response to ROK sending propaganda leaflets to the North.

  • I just watched the video of today’s press conference for the China Ministry of Foreign affairs. The transcription isn’t posted yet but I will try to summarize. The last MFA press conference was on December 31.

    I counted 24 questions asked at the press conference, 17 of the questions were related to Venezuela or Maduro. This is an unusual number of questions, usually there is only like 7 questions asked.

    There was a question about Saudia Arabia conflicting with Yemen; a question about Thailand conficting with Cambodia; Trump’s threats against Greenland are against international law; China is meeting with the leaders of South Korea and North Korea did some ballistic missile tests; Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and DPP is disgraceful for threatening to use military action to resist reunification; Protests in Iran are an internal affair and should not have foreign interference; US should stop fearmongering about China for its own selfish gains.

    The spokesperson answers most of the questions about Venezuela and Maduro in the same way. Sometimes the spokespersons repeats themself and sometimes they say it has already been answered.

    Spokesperson says that China is deeply shocked by the US action in Venezuela and that it violates international law, that the US should release Maduro, and then follow international law.

    Spokesperson says that the UN security council will convene an emergency meeting on US airstrikes against Venezuela. Spokesperson says China is ready to work with the international community to form a defense of the UN charter to maintain international fairness and justice.

    The last question is about whether Trump will still visit China in April and the spokesperson says no answer.
