Hi Mary. Perhaps China doesn't want North Korea to have nukes. But I'm not convinced. If push came to shove, it would be better for one's allies to be armed to the teeth. North Korea is on China's side. A proxy war is often preferable to a direct conflict. I think you misunderstood my comments on the yuan. I have thought for decades that it would be an excellent thing for China to get into the world's economy [I used to promote BP getting R&D done by Chinese women - a vastly under-rated and under-employed population back in the mid 1980s] < Getting socks, shoes, and clothing cheap is not a bad thing. Just get used to it and even enjoy it.> I am very happy to buy Made in China, Made in India and right now am wearing socks bought in China, trousers bought in Bangalore, jumper bought in China, shirt bought in China, singlet [hmm, can't reach label, but probably Made in China [bought in NZ], and undies probably Made in China, but bought in NZ [can't be bothered checking]. The notebook computer is Made in Taiwan. Samsung cyberphone Made in Korea by Samsung. So, you think I had one thing wrong, not several. And I might even agree with you that China doesn't want a nuke-armed North Korea, but I'll reserve judgment for now. Meanwhile, Hu and Abe have had a warm-looking shake-hand. I wonder what language they chattered to each other as they met. I noticed that Abe didn't do very deep bowing and Hu did no bowing at all. They dressed Western, shook hands western and behaved western. Or, as they say in Negro USA, they acted white. It does make sense for China and Japan to be very friendly and economically integrated. Though, according to our Japanese "son" Aki-san, it is NOT very easy to set up a Japanese factory and run it. They gave up and moved back to Japan after operating in China for some time. The cost savings are not as great as they were either. China will continue to get pay increases as production increases and economic boom continues. Mqurice
