have to believe China will reel in Jong-il. He's becoming a serious problem for them too. I am not so sure. NK provides China with a proxy by which to contain, tease and irritate the US, as well as influence its politics, all at practically no cost at all... Maybe but I have to imagine that with 23 million people, they are worried that NK's problems will spill over into China. A bad neighbor eventually causes problems for the neighbors.

Al, > I am not so sure. NK provides China with a proxy by which to contain, tease and irritate the US, as well as influence its politics, all at practically no cost at all... That's what I originally thought as well. But China is very concerned about Japan arming themselves with nukes. Plus China is already trying to hide a refugee crisis along the Yalu river. If tensions continue to mount and the North Korean regime starts to unravel, the refugee situation would only get worse. Tenchusatsu
