Chinese President Hu Jintao congratulated Kim Jong-Il on his re-election as leader of North Korea, state media said Saturday, amid widespread international condemnation of Pyongyang’s rocket launch.

[...]

“I believe that the fraternal Korean people will surely register steady fresh successes in the construction of Korean-style socialism… under the leadership… headed by you,” Hu was quoted as saying.

“It is the consistent policy of the party and Government of China to consolidate and develop the Sino-DPRK (North Korea) good neighbourly relations of friendship and cooperation,” he said.

[...]
China remains the North’s staunchest ally, keeping it afloat with economic aid and helping it diplomatically.

Beijing has defended North Korea’s right to peaceful use of space, refusing to allow a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning the launch.
