Re #9

China has been airing her displeasure in various channels. No. 3 man in Chinese embassy in Seoul complained about N. Korea at length. Chinese have been talking to U.S. media(NYT, etc) about their frustration. China has been softening its stance on N. Korean refugees. China came down hard on Yang Bin, the head of Shinuiju Free Economic Zone(?), humiliating N. Korea. China reportedly studied invasion of N. Korea early this year. China also cut off oil pipeline to N. Korea for three days as a warning.

They are not doing this for altruistic reason, for sure. However, it is in their interest to rein on a N. Korean regime.

Its in their interest to make sure that the US don't do too much snooping about how the PRC secretly helps, along with Pakistan and Russia, to prop up the DPRK. And I'm not talking about the extortion money that stupid US liberals have given them or even the peaceful nuclear aid the Klintoon got into. I'm talking about arms and intelligence aid. Naturally, both the ChiCOMs and the Ruskies will act like they are concerned about the DPRK all the while winking at them about the dumb American liberal dupes.
