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

Really now.. N. Korea threatening China? You've got to be kidding, right??

And if this is true, then a nuclear armed N. Korea is even MORE threatening to China.

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

Oh great.. then you're telling me that China is appeasing N. Korea. What's is N. Korea's "way"? Unification of the Koreas under the Dear Son. So China will do nothing to prevent N. Korea from continuing its bluster and ranting over S. Korea? China wants another war on the Korean peninsula??

None of this sounds like it's in Bejing's favor, unless of course they believe they can restrain Kim Jong Il.

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

So I wonder if China is too busy to see that Japan is on the verge of re-militarizing, and possibly building a nuclear deterrent, in response to the provocation by Korea.

Somehow I don't think your reading of the Bejing apparachiks is as incisive as you'd like to believe it is.
