It will not be the same war this time, Chicoms. Death will rain upon you fom the sky. This time your 150,000 troops will die in ignonimity as have our recent combatants -- refer to the Middle East. This using our LEAST potent weapons, mind you. We are, after all, benevolent.

Well, they're on the border and they're waiting for something. Maybe our invasion. Maybe theirs.
It's a war of nerves. It isn't only the North Koreans who may be building bombs, and the Japanese would be much, much better at it in any case - and unlike their NK counterparts, they do have plenty of material. China is waiting for us to make the first move and we are waiting for them. If nobody moves, the world changes. If we move together, the world changes. It will be a fine calculation on the part of the Chinese which world will be more advantageous to them. My guess is that one with both North Korea and Japan armed with nuclear weapons probably isn't the best option, if indeed they have any real option left at all. Loss of the option changes the world as well. "May you live in interesting times!"

This is actually an encouraging development if true. Is this a reliable site. I've not seen it before.

It's MOAB time!

This is an interesting development. However, there is no guarantee where China will stand when the actual shooting starts. Let's wait and see.
tallhappy: thanks for posting the photo.

Re #1
Thanks. I have been considering the translation of the same article from Korean language source(excerpted from Chinese.) It is better to have the translation from the Chinese source.:)
As this article indicates, Chinese troops are not there to help N. Koreans if a war breaks out in Korean Peninsula. They are there to pressure N. Korea and stem the chaos at the border. They may move in to restore order if the N. Korean regime collapses.
It is also possible that Chinese troops are there for the orderly processing of N. Korean refugees and checking N. Korean military incursions, if there would be a mass exodus of N. Korean refugees once refugee camps are built near the N. Korean border and the news of it gets out.
Many felt that this was an unrealistic scenario back in last December. I thought this would be quite likely. Now it happened.

One Japanese politician purposely leaked that they too have some nuclear fuel rods unaccounted for AND suggest that they can assemble a shake-and-bake nuclear device in very short notice. Well, Kim can take this as a bluff. You never know before you try, just like Israel who never admitted they have nuclear weapon.

We don't know. Nor do we know if the North Koreans really are. That's what makes this so interesting. The Chinese really do have a good deal at stake in maintaining the status quo, for a change, and the North Koreans are trying their best to upset it. In the absence of a potential Japanese nuclear program I think the Chinese would be more than happy to let NK continue to be a pain in the U.S.'s collective butt.
What we do know the Japanese are doing is (1) pursuing an active missile defense program, and (2) openly discussing modifying several key provisions of their constitution, the ones prohibiting them from developing offensive armaments. That alone will cause some midnight oil to burn in Beijing. I think - it's just IMHO - I think the Japanese would certainly pursue an active nuclear program should the North Koreans perform a successful test, and I think they'd be silly to wait until that actually happened. There's too much at stake, and time is precious. And that's what the Chinese are thinking about.

Wow, you can translate from Korean to English. That's really something. Yes, your analysis is accurate given the present circumstances. I too, don't think the PRC is stupid enough to risk a war with the US just over a mad man. However, PRC is equally wary of a pro-American unified Korea sitting right across her border. That's PRC's headache, not mine.

Re #17
I agree. The Chinese influence in Korean Peninsula will grow thanks to ham-handed N. Korean behavior, the one who always professes to be self-reliant and independent.:)

Thanks for the info

Still trading with China, our "friend." We go to Wal-Mart to help finance the Chinese nuclear threat to the U.S.
