Chinese paper Huan Qiu Shibao on Friday carried an article by its correspondent in south Korea, which said:

Media of south Korea are making much ado about various sorts of misinformation. Among them is a gossip that China will help build a nuclear power plant for the DPRK.

Choongang Ilbo on Thursday reported two pieces of news aimed at China. One is that China is making preparations to build a nuclear power plant in the Rason Economic Trade Zone of the DPRK. The other is that China may offer an aid of food amounting to hundreds of thousands of tons to keep stability in the DPRK.

Yonhap News on Thursday continued to slander the DPRK. It reported that the DPRK is now suffering from "shortage of power and drinking water" and the price of goods is "skyrocketing" there.
