This pretty much settles it in my mind......the Chinese are CLEARLY looking to incite old WWII animosities between N and S Koreans (which are equal, regardless whether N or S) against Japan.
China is no ally, and I doubt seriously if it has any interest in the N Korea "problem".....this is all a game, financed with MFN status and Wal-Mart, etc.
Bingo.
This about Taiwan.
We need to find other places to purchase products from.
Its nuts to be pumping all of this money into China when they are doing the strategic things that they are doing. China is not our friend.
The things that China sells us can be made in many countries around the globe; we need to start finding them.
