China denounces "brazen" North Korea nuclear test

You have to admit that it's surprising China has shown such restraint re:Japan.

I've read accounts of what the Japanese did there that made Stalin or the Nazis look like amateurs.

[CalvaryJohn]

I think maybe China is by necessity an ally of ours. They have too much invested economically to start any real crap with us. I hope.

[CalvaryJohn]

Louis Farrakhan, Fred Phelps, Kim Jong Il- Funky glasses are a sign of madness.

[Joe Boucher]

I think it's great that the chi-coms now have a nuclear North Korea on its border. With a crazy fool with his mitts on the button.

Be afraid chi-com scum, be very afraid.

[djf]

Well, what can the Chinese get from us?
Computer tech
Agricultural tech
Space and aerospace tech
Manufacturing tech and more


What can they get from N. Korea?
A smiling dude with bad teeth

Game, set match.

If China's getting pissed at North Korea, they gots problems.

[djf]

S. Korea now estimating it was .55 kiloton.

It was a dud. Expect Kim to call a pharmacy and ask for the purple pill.

[HiTech RedNeck]

China would nuke Pyongyang back without a single qualm. As if Kim cared, of course. Will South Korea thank China for being the cop that Kim committed suicide by?

[Joe Boucher]

Kim might welcome thinning out his populace that he can't feed.

[djf]

Kim cares. He's having way to much fun with his fast cars and broke down starving women.

[starbase]

And neither the Koreans nor the Chinese have much love for the Japanese, so maybe the Koreans will see some commonality in that as well.

To what end?

[AmericaUnited]

Seriously, what does it really matter if NK detonates a nuke underground??

[#1CTYankee]

"More of the Chinese good cop routine, with North Korea playing the bad cop"

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I guess I have poor taste because I am chuckling...

[McGavin999]

The statement used language that was unusually forceful for China, a neighbor and traditional Communist ally of North Korea that has advocated engagement and dialogue over stronger moves such as sanctions.

LOL, like that's going to do anything. Chinia is the one who insisted on the 6 party talks and now NK has totally humiliated China in the eyes of the world.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Methinks China's light verbal slaps against North Korea are somewhat disingenuous, e.g., will Red China's enertia to sanctions on North Korea continue, among other questions?

[LibLieSlayer]

china created the dog north korea, and that dog is hungry and will soon bite the hand that feeds it! Starve nk, no food, no money and no oil... Civilians will suffer... but the survivors will have a much better life!

[Solamente]

Well, it's either laugh or cry, 'cause nobody will do anything about North Korea anytime soon.

[LibLieSlayer]

Japan will go Nuke, we will integrate them into our Asian defense plans, and they will have Nukes by first quarter next year. They already have the technology, it just has to be assembled and tested.
