N. Korean media's blackout on China coverage enters 4th month
SEOUL, March 7 (Yonhap) -- Reports on political events taking place in China have been absent from North Korea's media for the last four months, raising speculation that Pyongyang could be angry with Beijing for condemning its long-range rocket launch and its latest nuclear test, an analysis of the country's major wire service, daily paper and broadcasters showed Thursday.
The screening of the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Rodong Sinmun, Korean Central Television and Radio Pyongyang by Yonhap News Agency showed a virtual blackout on reporting about China, the North's key ally.
