| EFL Chinese leaders sent congratulatory messages on Wednesday to Kim Jong Il, leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), on his re-election as chairman of the National Defense Commission. Three Cheers for Democracy! Hip hip hooray! In their messages, both Chinese President Hu Jintao and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of China Jiang Zemin warmly congratulated Kim on the re-election. Jintao said, "Even though you’ve sort of been a thorn in our side... we want to wish you sincere congratulations on a long and hard fought campaign... (tell us again, who did you run against?)" Hu said the DPRK people will make new achievements in building socialism and striving for peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula under the leadership of the Korean Workers’ Party. He continued, "We really hope that someday, when you look up ’socialism’ in the dictionary, you see a picture of our buddy, Little Kim..." It was the consistent policy of the Chinese government and the Communist Party of China to further develop the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK, Hu said. "They’re sort of like our pet pit bull." he confided, "Lots of fun to scare the neighbors with..." "We believe the friendly cooperation between China and the DPRK will continue to make strides forward," he added. And we hope someday real soon, the NorKs don’t have to eat grass and bark. In his message, Jiang said the traditional friendship between the two countries had enjoyed smooth development in recent years, cough, cough, and that their friendly cooperation was bound to be strengthened and developed through efforts by both sides. |
