China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called U.S. statement on China’s secret plan to support DPRK a fake

Almaty. January 5. Silkroadnews - China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the U.S. statement on China’s secret plan to support the DPRK a fake, “People’s Daily” reported.
“Recently, The Washington Free Beacon reported that China adopted “a secret plan” to bolster the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) “with increased aid and military support, including new missiles.” But the report has been dismissed as fake news and is based on a fake document,” the report said.
At a regular press conference on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China gave quite a simple answer to question about a statement in the American media: “Fake news.”
The Washington Free Beacon said, the “secret document” was obtained from the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, specifically from a man “who once had ties to the Chinese intelligence and security communities.”
“In a word, fake document. Any person with even a modicum of common sense can tell that is a fabrication” the agency quoted saying by spokesperson Geng Shuang.
“Furthermore, the report linked the fake document to hyped-up media reports that Chinese ships are illegally selling oil to DPRK vessels in violation of the UN Security Council sanctions. Those reports were also rejected as fake news,” the report reads.
As for the alleged involvement of the Chinese ship in transfer of oil to the DPRK ship in international waters on October 19, the Chinese side immediately conducted an investigation, spokesperson Hua Chunying said on December 29, adding that since August the ship in question has never docked at the Chinese port and there are no evidences suggesting otherwise.
“The hyped-up media reports are not conducive to building mutual trust and conducting cooperation between all parties on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue,” Hua also noted.
