The Koguryo Controversy

In der Einleitung zu dem bei Academia.edu verfügbaren Aufsatz "The Koguryo Controversy, National Identity, and Sino-KoreanRelations Today" heißt es: "In July 2004, a Chinese claim that the ancient Kingdom of Koguryo (37 BC - AD 668) was China's vassal state ignited a firestorm of protest in South Korea. The decade-long South Korean love affair with China appears to have ended, as increasing numbers of South Koreans have begun to view their colossal neighbor with new suspicion."

Weiß jemand von Euch, welche Reaktionen es dazu in Nordkorea gab?

Ich habe leider keinen Zugriff auf die Rodong Shinmun vom 27. Nov. 2003, denn:

(zuerst wo das Zitat steht:  ... [23] Rodong Shinmun (Labour Newspaper), November 27, 2003 cited in Kim Tong-hyung, “ North Korea denounces China's claim on Goguryeo(accessed April 15, 2004).  )

diese Fußnote (23) gehört zu:
" ... Indeed, the two Koreas have competed to establish hegemony and legitimacy as heirs of the Korean nation since the partition in the postwar era. Koguryo antiquities and history embody special political significance in this competition. They denote the legitimacy of political authority and rule in North Korea. Koguryo is eulogised as an embodiment of the true national spirit and depicted as a champion of Koreanness against treacherous pro-foreign Silla in the North Korean official version of history ( Petrov 2004). Some North Korean archaeologists deny that “the Han Chinese ever conquered any part of the Korean peninsula.” (Pearson 1978, in Nelson 1995: 229) North Korean historians underline the “self-reliance, uniqueness and superiority of Goguryeo culture”. (Chin Ho-t’ae 1990) Accordingly, Chinese claims on Koguryo have been strongly denounced as “a pathetic attempt to manipulate history for its own interests” or “intentionally distorting historical facts through biased perspectives” in North Korean media. [23] "
