North Korea on Wednesday excoriated the U.S. in the midst of George Floyd demonstrations, comparing the country to a setting sun with China rising.
"Demonstrators enraged by the extreme racists throng even to the White House," read a statement in North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun, translated in the New York Times. "This is the reality in the U.S. today. American liberalism and democracy put the cap of leftist on the demonstrators and threaten to unleash even dogs for suppression."
