"China has no interest in changing NK. They are trading with them, and have enough on their own plate to keep them busy. They know that NK is no threat to them, and figure the NK threat will keep us busy in Asia and out of their hair. They figure that if they can keep up their growth, they will be the dominant power in the World in 50 years. " Yes the above is all about china's self delusion. What it fails to recognize how bad North Korea can be for business in the area. Capitalism hates instability. Nuclear Japan, nuclear SK--i believe the outgoing SK PM said that yesterday not good for business, nor is the US focused on a rogue state that borders on china. You may be right on this Bill but my guess is that the Chinese are far enough along to begin to put on their great power Hat. mike

"Dominant power"? maybe, or maybe not, China has NO desire, whatsoever, to dominant others. All they want is to live a better life and not to be lectured by others, that is all. China has tried to pursued NK to open their economy, and start some kind of economic reform, ever since 1978, but their leader does not listen. I guess China has done what it could. Again, as I said before, this new round of crisis started by Bush's "Axies of evil". There is a saying in China, the problem can only be solved by the parties that caused the problem. BTW, personally, I think this NK problem, just like Iraqi problem, has been blown way out of proportion. First, no one knows for sure that NK has nuclear weapon. Second, even if it has, it will use it as a bargaining power.
