SEOUL, Oct. 7 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Wednesday defended Beijing's "One China" policy while accusing the United States of supporting Taiwan independence and "escalating" tension in the region.

The criticism came in an article titled "U.S. Is Acting Rashly" by international affairs analyst Kim Myong-chol, carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

"The U.S. has systematically destroyed regional stability and persistently escalated the situation under the pretext of 'opposing unilateral attempt at change of phenomenon' in the Taiwan Strait," Kim wrote.

Referring to the recent delivery of a U.S. fighter jet to Taiwan, Kim said, "This is nothing but a shameless act of planting a bomb at the gate of other's house and asserting that the bomb is for ensuring the security of the house."

He claimed munitions supplied by the U.S. to Taiwan through overseas arms sales over the past decade alone amounted to more than US$39 billion.

"The Taiwan issue is an internal affair of China, so how to settle it is entirely the affair of the Chinese people, and no outside forces have the right to interfere in it," he said.

Kim warned Washington to "think twice whether it is ready to stand in frontal confrontation with the powerful national power of the People's Republic of China for the security of Taiwan and whether it can cope with its consequences."

"The instability of the Taiwan Strait precisely means the crisis of the United States. Taiwan's return to China is a matter of time," he said.

North Korea and China have grown closer in recent years, following two summits -- one in Beijing in September 2025 and the other in Pyongyang in June this year. During the latter summit, the two sides vowed to elevate their relationship to a "strategic partnership."

首尔，10月7日（韩联社）——朝鲜周三捍卫北京的“一个中国”政策，同时指责美国支持台湾独立，加剧了该地区的紧张局势。

批评之声来自国际事务分析家金明哲发表在朝鲜中央通讯社（KCNA）上的一篇题为《美国行事鲁莽》的文章。

金写道：“美国以‘反对单方面改变台湾海峡现象’为借口，有计划地破坏地区稳定，不断升级台海局势。”

针对美国最近向台湾交付战斗机一事，金正恩表示：“这无异于在别人家门口安放炸弹，还声称这炸弹是为了确保房屋安全，简直是厚颜无耻。”

他声称，仅过去十年间，美国通过海外军售向台湾提供的军火价值就超过 390 亿美元。

他说：“台湾问题是中国的内政，如何解决完全是中国人民的事，任何外部势力都没有权利干涉。”

金正恩警告华盛顿“要三思而后行，想想它是否准备好为了台湾的安全与中华人民共和国这个强大的国家力量正面对抗，以及它是否能够承受由此带来的后果。”

他说：“台海局势的不稳定恰恰意味着美国的危机。台湾回归中国只是时间问题。”

近年来，朝鲜和中国的关系日益密切，双方举行了两次峰会——一次是2025年9月在北京举行的，另一次是今年6月在平壤举行的。在后一次峰会上，双方承诺将两国关系提升为“战略伙伴关系”。
