Re: "I doubt if Beijing will respond kindly to pressure form the US ever."

I agree.

But that's Big Power politics and they are gonna have to get used to it: nations generally follow their own best interests.

And, with the US consumer's dominant position as end-buyer of China's output, not to mention the myriad of other pressure points, it's not like the US is lacking for cards in it's hand either.

Re: "Did you see this?"

Nothing surprising --- you don't have to 'sell' me on having a low opinion of the NK leadership....
