As the United States strengthened its information warfare by tying North Korea, China, Iran and Russia together, it cracked down on its allies such as South Korea and Japan with a “pre-strategic warning system”, and North Korea began to reorganize its power in line with the Chinese system.
The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's intelligence director said on the 7th that it has an intelligence posture that can simultaneously grasp the trends of four countries, including China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, and is operating a "strategic alert" system before a danger occurs.
"China and Russia, North Korea and Iran continue to struggle to expand their influence," said Naval Admiral Michael Studman, director of intelligence. “We are fighting a war every day,” he said. “Multiple threat domains have existed since the 20th century, but in the 21st century, they have grown in breadth and depth beyond compare,” he said. We are using war exercises, etc.,” said the Voice of America (VOA) on the 9th, as he said in an interview hosted by the National Security Alliance for Information and Security (INSA), a private organization.
The director of the intelligence service said, “In dealing with regional problems, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the fact that there is a 'dynamic' in which multiple parties are involved in real time. According to the plan, the one-size-fits-all method of operation is no longer valid,” he said, stating that South Korea cannot operate alone.
In preparing for threats in advance, the director of the intelligence service said, “We have all strategic warning systems in place in relation to major issues in the region and are satisfied with the amount of information we are currently collecting.” Taking China’s threat as an example, “Intelligence authorities have already I have analyzed the challenges and intentions. Timing for specific actions is important. “Even if a strategic warning was issued 90 days in advance of the Chinese invasion of Taiwan, we need to check whether we are properly prepared to deal with the actual situation in detail,” he said.
In a press release on April 22, the U.S. Strategic Command said, “From the 12th to the 16th, the Wargames of the Deterrence and Escalation Game and Review Exercise (DEGRE) were held with the U.S. Naval Staff College. carried out,” he said exceptionally.
Regarding the open war game, Strategic Command said, "This exercise tests the dynamics of strategic deterrence, commitment to alliances, and management of conflict proliferation." The purpose is to inform the overall scope of warfare against nuclear-armed adversaries in case of emergency.”
Regarding the exercise, the Strategic Command said, “It is not a simulated nuclear war exercise, but a strategic simulated war exercise that deals with conflict situations with significant interests with nuclear-armed adversaries. It was conducted in a way that focused on resolving realistic crises or conflict situations by dividing experts from enemy countries into enemy forces,” he said in a press release.
In the revision of the party rules in January, the North Korean Workers' Party deleted the provision of "support for the South Korean revolution" in line with the "national liberation and democratic revolution" of the Kim Il-sung era and "raised the status of the Party Central Military Commission and lowered the status of the General Political Bureau of the People's Army" of the Chinese Workers' Party. It implemented a power organization similar to that of Xi Jinping's regime.
The revision of the North Korean Labor Party Bylaws grants personnel authority to the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Party Central Committee, and “discussions and decides on important issues that are urgently raised politically, economically and militarily, and discusses the issue of the appointment and dismissal of important party and state officials.” The provision of grants appeared, showing similarities with the Chinese system.
The Labor Party bylaws further added “the Standing Committee of the Politburo can conduct meetings of the Politburo under the mandate of the party general secretary,” demonstrating a strategic response system in preparation for emergencies with “the Standing Committee of the Politburo having policy-making and personnel powers.”
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on the 3rd that "the work of the Korean peninsula is at the door of China" and that "China will consistently play a constructive role for the stability of the Korean Peninsula." “Promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland is a policy that the Chinese government has maintained, so it is very wrong and dangerous to support Taiwan’s independence by some of the U.S. forces,” he said directly.
At a regular briefing on the 7th, spokesman Wang Wenbin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China commented on the 60th anniversary of the "China-DPRK Friendship Treaty" on July 11 as "a strategic decision made with foresight by the leaders of the two countries in the past and is an important event in the history of relations between the two countries."
Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong did not attend the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in Italy on the 28th and 29th in the meeting between the US Secretary of State and the Japanese Foreign Minister due to his visit to Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia for 5 days from the 21st of last month.
Park Ji-won, director of the National Intelligence Service, said at the Mass at the Martyrs Memorial Cathedral in Gwangju on the 5th, "I'm here to ask the Pope to visit Pyongyang. Please pray that the Pope will surely visit Pyongyang and bring peace to the Korean Peninsula." He said publicly...
President Moon Jae-in made public remarks about the Pope's visit to North Korea in succession, including the Korea-US summit in May and a visit to Austria in June.
President Moon, Minister Chung, Director Park, and Director Suh Hoon are Catholics, and Minister Chung's visit to Southeast Asia instead of the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting seems to be linked to the "Pope's visit to North Korea".
