Ron, <<Now tell me that China doesn't have "pull" in Pyongyang??>>

I told you before -

China: "stop it, or we will cut off your accesses (in an act of overt hostility)"

N.Korea: "No way, and go pound sand (you do and we will fight you)"

Short conversation, since China has zero incentive and no stomach to fight N.Korea. China is busy.

<<Millions of N. Koreans have starved because of the abuses of Pyongyang's "Dear Father-Dear Son" and it's powderkeg that will only grow more dangerous as the years go on.>>

... China's foreign policy is not founded on introducing change from the outside, but on each people to determine own poison.

<<If Bejing can't understand the danger that exists from a regime that is so intransigent that it seems dead set upon a path of self-destruction, then they are fools.>>

... My interpretation is that China understands that change must be from within, and if N.Korea is set upon SELF-destruction, then it shall be.

<<It need not result is "picking a fight" with Kim Jong Il>>

... this is where we differ on respective understanding of N.Korea. Get in their way, and they will fight.

<<He certainly must set aside his delusions of re-uniting the two Koreas under his control>>

... Chinese foreign policy is not premised on telling any nation on what they must and must not do, -

<<they have failed to step up to the plate and assume their share of the burden.>>

... but premised on, "do not catch other people's lice to put in own hair"

As foreign policies go, it seems to work, especially for a nation that is otherwise very busy.
