Reaction of the KDVR

In 1992, the ambassador of the Korean Democratic People's Republic ( North Korea ) to the People's Republic of China demanded that the South cancel Team Spirit's grand maneuver, otherwise the talks between the two governments and thus the chances of Korean reunification would be blocked.
