[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] North Korea's external propaganda media criticized on the 20th that the Biden administration's request for information from global semiconductor companies including Samsung Electronics revealed the submissive reality of the South Korea-US alliance.
North Korea's 'Echo of Unification' mentioned in a commentary titled 'I Will Receive My Own Treatment' on the same day that the US administration demanded semiconductor inventory, orders, sales, and supply chain information within 45 days during a video conference last month with global semiconductor companies including Samsung Electronics.
Regarding this, the commentary stated, "It cannot be called anything other than a brazen robbery attempting to pluck raw eggs in broad daylight," and criticized, "The US administration's demand shows the reality of the South Korea-US alliance, which has been touted as a core axis, and the US's view of alliances."
It added, "Regardless of what happens to others, it is the US's ingrained nature to secure their own interests through coercion and arbitrary actions."
In particular, it claimed that "The reason the US is increasingly brutal even towards their own allies is because they (the allied countries) have so far flattered and submitted to the demands of the gangster country," labeling South Korea as a "model of submission and dependence on the US."
The media pointed out, "South Korea has so far followed all of the US's demands without discrimination between what should or should not be done," and criticized, "The humiliation South Korea is experiencing today from the US, which it has served like a 'henaebi' (grandfather), is nothing but a self-inflicted consequence caused by their own obsession with pro-American servility."
It added, "The lesson of history is that one concession to a robber leads to two, three concessions, and ultimately to destruction."
