North Korea Mocks China for ‘Dancing to U.S. Tune'
 In answer to this post - YESNorth Korea appeared to lash out at Beijing in a state-media commentary published Thursday, aiming unusually pointed rhetoric at a powerful neighbor that Pyongyang has long relied on for economic and diplomatic support. The commentary, published by the state-controlled Korean Central News Agency, didn't name China but left little doubt about its target: "a neighboring country, which often claims itself to be a ‘friendly neighbor'." The article lambasted China for playing down North Korea's nuclear capabilities and for curbing foreign trade‐an apparent reference to China's weekend announcement that it would suspend coal imports from North Korea for the rest of the year.
