The editorial said that the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia peace and denuclearization of the position and determination of no change in the future, positive and good prize North Korea's national development towards good relations of cooperation.

The editorial said: Agriculture is the lifeline to solve the problem of living. States should significantly increase investment in agriculture, all departments and units must give priority to agricultural supplies. World Wide Web of the Sejong Research Institute in South Korea quoted Cheng as saying the growth of North Korea's editorial can be seen that the North Korean authorities are eager to achieve economic success.
  Jilin Yanbian University of China strong and told VOA reporter Kim said China hopes that the DPRK's policy matter sorted out simultaneously. He said: "If North Korea can sync with the policy of China, of course, should be welcomed. (Reform), to their own country the whole good, get rich. But the question now is that North Korea policy does have some problems."
  New Year's Day editorial of the DPRK over the years, are extremely long, all with a substantial length, praised Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and the WPK.

"Slogan became the eternal life of our people and the motto of the struggle.
  However, the foreign media on Kim Jong Il's "sleepless nights", and another argument.

  One of China's Jilin Korean elderly, to visit relatives in North Korea to come back to the Voice of America, said his relatives, teaching at the university, one month's wages, not in a restaurant to eat bowls of Korean cold noodles.
  The retired cadres in China when the country after the old man said, he brought tens of thousands of yuan in gifts relatives, instant be carved up, watching the four walls of the living relatives, he can not help but burst into tears.

  In addition, the Korean Central Daily News reported that Kim Jong-il really like fish sauce, Aberdeen. "He even for the fish sauce, Aberdeen, North Korea launched the mass production of full farmed sturgeon fish sauce, Aberdeen. North Korea _set_ off a wave of raising sturgeon."
  In Kim Jong Il "sleepless nights," when people hungry, many people asked: Why did North Korea not to learn from China, reform and opening up, the liberation of productive forces, the economic miracle?
  In the past few years, Kim Jong Il to China continue to "learn", has repeatedly demanded that North Korea the economic development of the sector as a priority and urgent tasks. New Year's Day published two years emphasized the establishment of economic development is evident.
  However, China Jilin Yanbian University, said the Voice of America strong and Kim: Kim Jong Il in China, what are promised, but could go after the cash, is another matter.
  According to South Korean Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported on January 4, Hyundai Group Chairman Xuanzhen en August 2009 visit to North Korea said the United States Ambassador to South Korea: North Korea against Japanese cars on the road once. In addition, Xuan Zhen Yan said Kim in addition to "do not believe that the Chinese", the little talked about China.

  A situation in Beijing, the Voice of America reporter has talked about a reporter with the DPRK on the Korean economic development and hunger. Voice of America reporter asked: Why not study Chinese Korean reform and opening up, economic development, take the road up to the people of surplus it? The reporter replied very seriously: why should we reform it? You said the United States reform and opening it? "
  Korean New Year editorial did not mention the United States and other countries. North Korea last year, the editorial stressed that the domestic situation only, not too much involved in foreign parts.
  VOA Korean reporters who had asked why the visit to North Korea made several applications for delays in the reply or go down the drain? The journalist said more seriously: "not answer the reason, you do not know?"
  Yonglie Chinese writers back after the visit to the DPRK, said an article in the hearts of the Korean people, have a strong hatred of the United States sentiment.
  Ye Yong said that in North Korea, always called the United States, "U.S. imperialism", the pair of jeans called "U.S. imperialism pants." In a hotel, Ye Yong found a book translated into Chinese, the title is: king of terror ----- United States. "North Korea seems, if not the name of U.S. imperialism, the United Nations flag at the Incheon landing, North Korea has long been erased from the earth to South Korea."
  Why not be unified the Korean Peninsula? It was caused by U.S. imperialism!
  Why is the Korean economy so difficult? That is the "U.S. imperialism" caused it!
  Why do Korean people have enough to eat? That is the "U.S. imperialism" caused it!
  Why is North Korea so isolated in the international arena? That is the "U.S. imperialism" caused it!
  United States mirror site _set_ up in the end of the year had published an article about China's foreign policy with particular reference to China's North Korea policy. The article quoted U.S. Buck Cornell University political science professor of international relations Zhu Zhi-group as saying that China and the DPRK is compelled to maintain the relationship.
  Zhu Zhi-group report quoted as saying: of course, take into account China's own national interests, but from a different point of view, it is difficult to decide which is more important interests, "such as North Korea to give up, the consequences may be the collapse of North Korea, South Korea, unified Korea. Reunified Korea, certain tendency to the West, tend to the United States, that time in the Korean peninsula will be the withdrawal of U.S. forces or further stationed in South Korea after unification? China is worried that too close to the U.S. border from China. "
  Fudan University in Shanghai, China, Shen Dingli U.S. experts also spoke on the Voice of America, this point of view --- that is: North Korea could serve as a buffer against Western troops too close to the border. If the Korean reunification, China will lose this buffer, easy direct conflict with the Western powers were face to face.
  Cornell University in the United States Buck professor of international relations in political science group said Zhu Zhi, the buffer zone, once lost, the collapse of the DPRK, "thousands of refugees into China, will China's political, economic, social cause great stress. Zhu Zhi-group said: So CPC to consider various factors, considered the status quo the best interests of China.
  However, Der Spiegel reports also quoted as saying Zhu Zhi-group, this is not representative of the interests of other important, for example, trade relations with South Korea, China and the ROK-DPRK trade is several times the volume of trade. For example, Sino-US relations, if that relationship to a deadlock, China will in a very passive state, undermine China's international image. For China, in addition to maintaining the status of the Korean Peninsula, perhaps no better way.
