Kiiiiinda hard for South Korea to hear that with a straight face, considering China sided with NK pretty significantly in the Korean War and considers NK an ally (or at least definitely within their sphere of influence) to this day.

The Americans in charge will cope and seethe, but they'll understand.

I bet they're hoping that China doesn't remind anyone that the US purposely tanked the Japanese and Korean economies fairly recently.

lol yeah that too! Chinese provided the millions of troops to the North for the invasion didn't they. And are sustaining the North Korean regime economically to this day.
