China 'shifts position' on North Korea. WTF

Peace on earth ?!?

It's all just posturing they probably get oil from Iran.

Please go back to your sandcastle in the middle of nowhere. Britain does not want you.

I don't know about that, but I do know that China is 100% NOT backing the USA.

Thread is full of idiots thinking China will back NK

Here's to you

Damn, I tried to blend in

A unified Korea benefits neither China or the US. South Korea is already a HUGE industrial power. They can shift their entire economy from consumer industry to a wartime industry in a day and become the largest manufacturers of weapons in the world. They have some of the largest ship building ports and some of the largest manufacturers in the world. They have a large pool of engineers and quite a large pool of skilled workers. This scares China more than ever and unifying the North with the South would be a disaster for them as that would give Korea even more man power for their military that would rival China.

North Korea is doomed, South Korea doesn't really need help from anyone. You'll be surprised how fast the Koreans will switch sides against China if they intervened. The Koreans were already on the path of unifying peacefully until the US and China intervened politically.

close as lips and teeth could turn around and bite your ass!
Mao loved Korea...LOL

We are China's best customer- why would they want any trouble w/US?

Remember that ALL is fair in love and WAR!!!

I knew that had something huge planned when they destroyed the center of Christchurch NZ. That was a US military operation not a natural earthquake.

Now they have cleared the land and huge work camps (which can't be distinguished from military camps) will be set up there shortly, supposedly for the rebuild.

The centre of town has been off limits for ages, god knows what they are up to in there.

Thread: US extremely interested in CHRISTCHURCH - NZ ...

you should take your meds bud

I like turtles

That's the spirit, Skippy!

That is not completely true. The north of NK contains several casino complexes where Chinese officials can go and gamble. There are regular train services for gamblers.

You forgot Cuba

As the saying goes " bomb them back to the Stone Age !" Oh crap they are already in the Stone Age , so guess that's not gonna work all to well . We could emp them , but then again not much infrastructure there to affect . So it's ..... Saber rattling time..... And ahh one , and ahh two lol.

Correct.

China is mobilising to repel and/or control nork refugees.

China does NOT want tens of thousands of starving non-Chinese streaming in.

^^^^This

Yep it seems like the best alternative to me.

China is aware that Junior running his mouth off is just the start of their problems.

People are saying that China will just sit this one out, and maybe that is true, BUT, it will be a strategic mistake for them in the long term.

Every week North Korea strengthens it's military position, meaning they get closer to being able to thumb their noses at China like they have the rest of the world.

It is obvious that China doesn't have the control over North Korea that it did in the past.

I agree with others that have said that the placing of Chinese troops on the border are to stop an influx of refugees, already starving, from Junior's failure to feed his country, should an attack happen.

I just wish China would man up and squash this bug so that we can all get on with our lives.

China NK..................

China knows the "bubble" of capitalism is about to bust.
The US and Europe will default on their debts.
China will be left holding the bad paper. So war is an option.
Using N. Korea as a war puppet - priceless.
Either way they win.

Not quite. The fates of the globes elite are increasingly inter-dependent and co-operate at many levels in a bid to maximise their extraction of labour surplus from the world's working class. A few wildcards, like Iran and NK create periodic bumps on the road to the complete emergence of a fully globalised ruling elite but these will eventually be removed.

Capital MUST globalise before the emergence of the next social economy. Consequently, I disregard the antics of Iran, NK and all the other minor troublespots.

Also, think about all the Chinese people already living comfortably in the US and all over the world.. Plus the people of Hong Kong would not put up with this alliance with NK. They stand to lose their standing as the financial hub of Asia.
