The statement said:

All Koreans in China extend the warm congratulations to Marshal Kim Jong Un on having consolidated the status of a nuclear power of Juche and space power despite the desperate obstructions of any formidable enemy.

The earth observation satellite put into the space with indigenous efforts and technology true to Kim Jong Un's plan for building a power of scientific and technological power marked a great event which demonstrated the might of the DPRK before the world and showed once again that it is a matchless power.

The U.S. and its followers are now noisily vociferating about additional sanctions, much upset by the DPRK's successful satellite launch, but this is nothing but a ridiculous jargon of the loser.

We will wage a vigorous struggle to usher in a new era of independent reunification, deeply cherishing the honor and pride of being overseas citizens of Kim Il Sung's nation, Kim Jong Il's Korea highly dignified thanks to the great Songun politics under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
