SEOUL, South Korea—Inspired by news from Egypt, several protests have flared up in North Korea. Regime leader Kim Jong Il has ordered a riot squad alert, and China’s Minister of Public Security is said to have advised Pyongyang on how to deal with possible mass uprisings.
Two days after Mubarak’s resignation, Meng Jianzhu, China’s Minister of Public Security, made a trip to Pyongyang and discussed ways of preventing anti-regime protests in North Korea, the Korea Joongan Daily reported on Feb. 22.
Meng shared tips on cell phone wiretapping with North Korean authorities. Shortly thereafter, North Korea began cell phone wiretapping and tightened control on cell phone use, including suspending cell phone rental services to foreign tourists.
Despite joint efforts by Chinese and North Korean regime leaders to tightly censor and control the flow of news, North Koreans did obtain news of the Egyptian antigovernment protests through Chinese television broadcasts and through North Korean defectors. The ousting of Mubarak is a hot topic in North Korea, the Chosun Ilbo reported on Feb. 23.
