My error on this is that it is Ambassdor "Anami" not "Anan". I read the characters on his last name differently.

Yep. Very little USA coverage. The US media for all intents and purposes reeks when it comes to Asia and South Asia coverage.

Of course, it is embarrassing for the both of those countries (Japan and China) involved. China looks its usual jackboot brute self and Japan looks like a bumbling, castrated idiot. China looks like they have rigged up an underground deal to send the five detainees off to a third country soon, and not send them to Pyongyang for execution. that is what is coming out at this hour.

Thanks for the analysis. I'm scratching my head to understand how the Japanese or the Chinese for that matter benefit from this incident. Any thoughts.
