China has played the entire Iraq scene, both the UN/French treachery and the war itself, with consumate skill. They have nominally come out against the war, of course, but have done it in a *really* low key way: they never threatened to veto even as the French and Russians did repeatedly.
They come out of this smelling like a rose, and have made up with the US by putting the squeeze on Kim Il-Sung using the oil imports...
Happened after they started realizing what a war with the US would be like. Not pretty for them at all. I think we just made Taiwan safe for another *TEN* years, i am willing to wager
Watch for a major rapproachment with China, well before one between the US and France for example...

Time for china to give Kim Il a one way ticket. They may well do that. I think the that the Iraq show starring the new and improved US Military has given the Chinese leadership an acute case of angst
Their pet dictator is starting to become a burden or even a danger to them, particularly if because of his antics the Japanese start to seriously rearm...
