"Then there will be expanded sanctions on Chinese banking institutions as well as N. Korean overseas accounts. S. Korea may be also hit by this expanded financial sanction, unless it ceases all economic ties with N. Korea."
Yeah, well, pass me that soju when you're done with it, you must have the good stuff.
The U.S. will never have the balls to sanction China again. If we didn't do shit when they shot down our plane, we sure won't do anything over them propping up a tinpot like Kim.
I don't know. Time passes and things change. Financial institutions are weak spots of China, too, not just N. Korea. BDA of Macau was slapped with sanctions by U.S., whether China liked it or not at the time. U.S. can certainly target more Chinese banks.
Recently, some CFR types are advocating preemptive strikes to N. Korea, who are not Clintonoids. You would not imagine such a talk a few years ago. They are spouting only global free trade happy talk, and their theme has always been talk, negotiation, and appeasement.
