Yesterday, somebody shot at S. Korean embassy in Beijing with what appears to be an airgun pellet. Prior to this, S. Koreans burned Chinese flag in front of Chinese embassy in Seoul. Then a video of S. Korean flag urinated by somebody showed up at some Internet site(Youtube?) Now this. This thing is escalating. It used to be that things died down after some frustrated reaction from S. Korea public and Chinese fishermen released through backdoor after mild punishment, including those fishermen who caused serious injury to coastguards. Pent-up S. Korean anger is now blowing up.

I hope S. Korea isn’t looking to start a war with China. That would be too interesting. Yikes!
