China Tells Kim Not To Carry Out Second Nuclear test

The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 10-20-2006 | Richard Spencer

Looks like "the worst secretary of state in American history, Condi Rice" (according to Michael Savage) is making some progress in her trip to NE asia.

[blam]

"But China has the power to cut Kim off at the knees."

China is the only reasonable solution to the NK problem.

NK, Pakistan and Iran have the Chinese bomb design.

[denydenydeny]

Hugo Chavez will offer to help for "humanitarian" reasons.

[PA-RIVER]

Sounds like China now knows a loos cannon loaded with a nuke is bad for business.

Kim is like a rabid dog, with his master loading the shotgun.

Good buy Old Yeller, booooom!

[steveegg]

China is the only reasonable solution to the NK problem.

NK, Pakistan and Iran have the Chinese bomb design.

Which tells me that Red China doesn't want to solve the NK problem (unless, of course, they have lost control of Krazy Kim).

[do the dhue]

They should let Kim 'mentally" Ill test and then they should let us run a few test. We need to test our accuracy ...

I say if he wants nukes, we should air deliver him a few.

Better get Kim before he gets us.

That's what Ray Lewis, Genghis Khan, and George Washington (see the Hessians) would do.

Sack them before they sack us.

[Just mythoughts]

I will wait and see if master Clinton says anything or if Bill Richardson will take to the airwaves and say Mr. Il don't do it.

[NYFriend]

Gotta understand how the Chinese think. Before they made this "blunt" and public statement, there would have been backchannel discussions telling DPRK to backoff. This clear public message either means that: 1) Kim has signaled that he'll back down, or 2) China is now making a real serious threat along the lines of, "knock it off or we'll end your rule".

China's not exactly on our side. They are their own side. They want to be top dog in Asia. The worst ending for them is to lose control of DPRK. That first test looks like a threat to us, ROK, and Japan, but to China it's a slap in the face.

[Tench_Coxe]

Some years ago I had speculated that the only way to get China's attention is the prospect of a re-armed Japan. I suspect that the recent shift in the Japanese political situation has affected diplomacy (i.e. Nothing will get China's attention quicker than a re-armed Japan--along with a revised Constitution).

[Just mythoughts]

China was NOT the N.Korean propper.... N.Korea was a Soviet satellite nation until we under the Clintons adopted them.

[Lorraine]

While this might be a good warning, does anyone really believe that it will have any effect on Kim? The man is obviously insane and seems to be begging for someone to wage war on his country. There is no way possible to reason with someone so irrational. It is a sad reflection on the people of North Korea that there is not a single person with enough courage to get rid of him.

[Capt. Tom]

Gee,I wonder what the Chinese might be telling Kim Mentally Ill *privately*.

OK here is the plan. We don't like the USA anymore than you do, but we have to keep up an appearance of being cooperative with them.

So we will give the appearance of cracking down on you, and you can then go to Iran and sell them a nuclear bomb or two, or at least sell them the technology on how to make one. A supply of money and oil from Iran will keep you in business. - tom

[do the dhue]

NK is a puppet of China. China only has words. They have no action.

They best I remember from China was for a day or two they cut off the oil going to NK. If China was serious, they would shut it off and leave it off until they have Kim's total attention.

But they are not serious towards NK because NK is their puppet.

[b4its2late]

The little ahole can't hear.

[advertising guy]

with your insight, add this.China surely has their
John Wilkes Booth planted in NK. If the nutbag is actually
over the edge and intends to test again,he's out physically
or he is repremended all meaning it's China's play not NK

So the real demon in the stream is about to show
her hand.

[Enterprise]

I have something I want to ask L'il Kim. Hey L'il Kim, remember back when North Korea invaded South Korea? And do you remember that when the South Koreans called for help they got it? My question is this:

"If China invades you, who are you going to call?"

[doc1019]

Kim Jong-il is so delusional that he probably thinks that he is God, and with a few nukes he could rule the world. He obviously is totally unaware that the US has a reputed 250 plus nuclear devices ready to go. Many of these “Nukes” are on subs stationed near his coast.

If this little bastard had any smarts, he would either keep his mouth shut and enjoy his dictatorship (hoping his subjects don’t rebel) until his demise or ask another country to accept him and his money.

[lonestar67]

This is a slam dunk for Condi and the US.

By now Condi has explained the following to Chinese authorities:

Are you having trouble controlling your rogue state North Korea?

What a coincidence! We are also having trouble controlling our rogue democracies.

It looks like Japan may also prolif.

Who knows rogue South Korea may also prolif.

It looks like Taiwan also has some interests in this area. And as you know, it is very hard to control these rogue states. END OF COMMUNICATION

Rest assured, China has gotten the message and Kim Jong Il's days are numbered. I would not rule out Chinese assasination. Cutting of the oil is probably the mildest of solutions.

Anyone remember the "train accident" a few years ago, where the Dear Leadeer's train blew up, but he wasn't on it, or some such?
