pre-emptive strike on North Korea..? I wonder if they will stand for it... Minimum, maybe they send a few shells into south korea or a rocket or two? comments.....
ps they have already moved machine guns into demilitary zone in violation of truce.

I'm sure there are elements in China who have little problem with Jong having nuclear weapons...

I'm pretty sure that there are members of the government in China who would be content if nuclear weapons (from NK or elsewhere) were to be used on the USA (or Israel, in order to drag us unto a horrible mess), but I'm even more certain that they only want to see this in the absolute certainty that in no way would China be directly linked to such a disaster.

This last point is our insurance policy I'd say.

The question is whether Bejing's ruling central committee is aware and complicit in providing nuclear weapons equipment to Jong's regime

Wonder if any of us will still be alive when the actual behind-the-scenes stories are told about this time.... Sure hope so! On the surface, it seems as if it's just "business as usual~~more or less"....but underneath the surface, there must be active rivers of activity all over the world and regarding every subject...
