China's Korea policy 'in tatters,' as both North and South defy sanctions
More than half a century ago, hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers died in the Korean War, fighting on the side of their Communist allies against the American-backed South.
Yet today, China finds itself in the uncomfortable position of falling out with both the Communist North and capitalist South of this troublesome peninsula, imposing sanctions on both countries but getting no satisfaction from either.
Yesterday, South Korea announced it would press ahead with the "swift deployment" of an American missile defense system despite relentless and vociferous Chinese opposition.
In February, China said it was cutting off coal imports from North Korea in accordance with sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council in a bid to convince the country to abandon its nuclear and missile programme. On Sunday, North Korea ignored China's pleadings not to raise regional tensions by conducting another missile test, albeit one that failed.
China has also imposed unofficial and unilateral sanctions against South Korea to persuade it not to deploy the missile defense system, experts say. On Monday, as Vice President Pence warned North Korea not to test U.S. resolve, South Korea’s acting president, Hwang Kyo-ahn, vowed to rapidly deploy that system, known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).

P!
Commies always seem to be intimidated by defensive measures.
Just like libs and guns..............
...China can’t say this is not what they wanted....
Not to mention state of the art arms, ammunition, Food uniforms, armored vehicles, fuel, and other massive amounts of military needs supplied to the NORKS.
And American leaders with stones.
It’s because it might make their aggression more expensive to them.
Muslims are the same: resistance is Islamophobia, aggression against poor widdle hepless waifs, all dey. wants ta do if blow ya up or take yo head, jus a scooch....
How can you complain about Missile Defense system? I look at it more like a Bullet Proof Vest.
Reagan’s Star Wars vision was for everyone to be protected from ICBMs rendering it obsolete.
DPRK is China’s retarded bastard child. The product of a sordid affair behind a dumpster between Mao and Stalin, after which the daddy disappeared and China was left to raise the monster.
If China is so scared of the North Korean people flooding into China, Why don’t they build a F*cken Wall?
China may have said they cut off coal but it’s been smuggled back. These types of sanctions simply mean finding another way to get the job done anyway.
The Russians and Chinese dont like THAAD or our plan to move tactical nukes into S. Korea if the North doesn’t stop with weapons development.
My biggest fear here is the intel.
The gambit here appears to be a posit to China along the lines of “If China is going to lead in the modern world, it must demonstrate control over their closest client state, the one currently threatening thermonuclear war against the US. The one you supplied with the materials equipping them with the ability to make this threat. We expect you to deal with this before we have to before they make good on their threat.”
The CIA is not - reliable.
If they have subs, and their subs are better than ws think, it is going to happen very quickly.
I think what the US did to the world economy in 2008 was the last straw in failed world leadership for most of the world. It would not surprise me if quiet discussion about a post US led world occurred furtively since 2008.
Then we elect President Trump, who vows to make America great again, unexpectedly.
Brexit happens.
We fine Deutsche, threaten to sink their biggest bank.
I can’t help thinking NKs tech is far better than we think it is, and the world will help NK take us out suddenly.
We may have found this out. Maybe not.
NK is a pawn the wbole world can get behind losing if it means not being led by a country that produces a string of leaders like the ones we’ve produced in the last 20 years.
I think this is theater. NK went rogue, their tech was better than we thought, and now the US is about the size of the original thirteen colonies.
Very few reliable sources of information out there.
.....” It would not surprise me if quiet discussion about a post US led world occurred furtively since 2008........
Of course that’s been happening since Obama first took office...his purpose was to further stand this nation down from across the world and usher us into the Globalist agenda.
Further he ‘proved’ time and again his loyalty did not lay in America but as a water-boy for International groups attempting to consolidate their powers.
Brexit happened because the people wanted it to happen...just as Trump happened here because of the people.

They are not intimidated by defensive systems it’s just a scam to see if their opponent is stupid enough to not defend itself in response to their communist lies.
NORK technology is the rough equivalent of US technology circa 1950.
It would be a short but exciting life for the NORK military should they decide to take us on.
I find this analysis way, way off.
It doesn’t even qualify as analysis. It’s just a scenario, based on demonstrably shoddy work by the CIA over the last 15 or 20 years.
You know how wrong I want to be about this?
That China can’t get this under control is very disquieting.
