I wonder if this is why NK is quiet right now...."Someone" must have been talking to China regarding it's errant child....

I'm sure that Bejing is not happy about how events are shaping up in response to this proposed missile launch... Japan permitting anti-missile systems on their soil... the potential that Japanese public opinion might turn towards nuclear deterrence (and rescinding the NPT).

But what will be even more interesting is whether Kim has placed China is a position where they can no longer effectively claim an inability to influence or control Pyongyang's policies??

For if that's the case, then more pressure can be applied upon China.
