초록
This paper compares the coverage of China, Russia and the United States by the Korean Central News Agency(KCNA)from October 1, 2013, to February 29, 2016. It also verifies the results by the Rodong Sinmun (RS) coverage of the three countries from January 1, 2015, to February 29, 2016. The analysis reveals that the North Korean media has reduced its coverage of China significantly and constantly since November 2013, and that the media have turned to reporting negatively on China, with almost no positive coverage since July 2014. Considering that KCNA and RS are North Korea’s official mouthpieces, this change may indicate that North Korea’s leadership has changed its cognition of China from a friendly country to an unfriendly country, if not a quasi-hostile country.
Abstract

The analysis reveals that the North Korean media has reduced its coverage of China significantly and constantly since November 2013, and that the media have turned to reporting negatively on China, with almost no positive coverage since July 2014. Considering that KCNA and RS are North Korea’s official mouthpieces, this change may indicate that North Korea’s leadership has changed its cognition of China from a friendly country to an unfriendly country, if not a quasi-hostile country.
