A Total Misunderstanding? Part of the problem, a Chinese foreign ministry official said, was that China had received conflicting reports about an exchange between U.S. officials and the North Korean leadership during Mr. Kelly's visit. The U.S. side, with a team of Korean-language note-takers on hand, reported that Mr. Kim's regime had admitted resuming a nuclear-weapons program. The North Koreans, however, told the Chinese that they had been misunderstood, according to the Chinese official. The North Koreans bristled to the Chinese about Mr. Kelly's "arrogant" attitude and insisted that they only told the visiting American official that North Korea "had the right to develop these weapons if they felt threatened," not that it had been. Could this possibly be true? Is this paper controlled by the liberals? Why would anyone accuse us of either incompetence or sabotage WRT the latest talks? What does this mean to the WSJ readers?
