-Caveat Lector- N. Korea Supports Chinese Policy SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea threw its support behind its ally China today in the current flare-up of tensions over Taiwan, accusing the island government of following a separatist policy. North Korea's ruling communist party compared Taiwan with its own bitter rival, South Korea, saying both talk about unification while pursuing a policy that increases the divide. The ``separatist policy'' of Taiwan ``cuts right across the Chinese people's desire for reunification and the reunification principles,'' said Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the ruling Workers' Party. Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui outraged China by saying early this month that Taiwan wants to deal with China on a ``special state-to-state'' basis. China saw the remarks as a move toward a declaration of independence - and war. Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province that must be reunited with the mainland eventually. The sides split amid civil war in 1949, but both say they eventually want reunification. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
