From the PRC ambassador:

1. The local leadership [in North Korea], while still keeping under wraps from the society the events in China offers members of the central party apparatus following interpretation:

- they are a result of the lack of the “monolithic unity” among Chinese leaders, of “reformism and degenerate liberalism”,

- they were born out of the absence of a charismatic “leader” and of a tested, valid idea. In this context Chinese leadership are criticized for ignoring the „wise advice and admonitions” given to them by Kim Il Sung, and thus they generate the threat for a military coup in China. Nevertheless, it is believed that “cleansed of the influence of bourgeois ideology, the new Chinese leadership will deal with the 'threat counter-revolution'.”

2. In our opinion and that of the interlocutor, the above assessment stem from:

- the simplified Juche approach to the contemporary world [and] fears of spreading onto the DPRK (the Korean special services and the military received relevant directives).
