North Korean Ambassador to China Ji Jae Ryong, center, and two translators take their seats before a press conference at the North Korean Embassy in Beijing, China, Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014. North Korea’s propaganda machine is churning out near-daily diatribes against the United States and South Korea for a series of soon-to-start military maneuvers, warning nuclear war could be imminent and saying it will take dramatic action of its own if further provoked.
