Who'd a thunk it! The N. Korean long China's pet is getting under its owners skin. Are we and the PRC on the same side on this one?

Re #4

Because China fear re-militarized and nuclear Japan, which will happen if N. Korea goes its way.

The article is a little confusing.

I think all it is saying is that the CHinese are cultivating a disrespect for NK among their troops in anticipation of annexing parts of of NK after Kim leaves power.

"Are we and the PRC on the same side on this one?"

China is not now, nor will it ever be our Allies. If not for the influx of western money they would be doing the same thing NK is doing now.

Of course with the influx of western money they are just doing it more secretively and with better equipment. Clinton's admins passing of military secrets to the Chinese was then, and is now, treason in my book.

North Korea has been China's pet pit-bull and now the Chinese are discovering that their pet has rabies. North Korea with nuclear weapons presents a problem for China as it does for everyone else. It is interesting that even the Chinese communists are getting disgusted with the inhumanity of the North Korean regime.

Bah. This story is nothing but propaganda fodder. North Korea wouldn't be able to do squat without China's blessing.

These noises of discontent are nothing but a smokescreen. If China didn't want North Korea to have the bomb, North Korea would have had (yet another) puppet regime put in place.

Don't buy the hype here. Nothing is happening in Pyongyang without Beijing's consent.

I think the more likely answer is this one from the article: 

The sense that Kim’s regime is losing control lies behind the Chinese military buildup. But some South Korean MPs fear China could grab territory from the north in the event of a collapse.

Should China use this crisis to seize territory for themselves that they have no legitimate claim to, we should place troops in Taiwan, arm them to the hilt and officially recognize them as a sovereign nation.

I don't trust the ChiComs one bit on this. They are trying to play good cop/bad cop.
