NORTH Korea is expected to resume the disabling of equipment at its Yongbyon nuclear complex and allow inspections by inspectors from the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
According to Kim Sook, South Korea's chief envoy to the international nuclear talks with North Korea, this will put negotiations over the state's nuclear disarmament back on track.

The U-turn follows moves by America to remove North Korea from its list of nations that sponsor terrorism.

While disabling the one at Yongbyon they are busily building more elsewhere and will continue to do so.

It has struck me that North Korea is a liability to China, and that if the regime went PHTTT, the US would no longer have a reason to stay in Northeast Asia. So why does the PRC prop up Kim Jong-Mentally-Il?

#1 Postmark, aye I was kind of wondering how you lads in China felt about this.

#3 Tom, Does the PRC prop up Kim Jong? I thought Kim upset China a few years back by telling them to get lost over something.

The Chinese gangster government tolerate him as he is a useful distraction as well as a thorn in the side of the yanks. If, however, he stepped out of line and started lobbing nuclear missiles around, they'd probably squash him like bug.

#4 Jim A,
Sorry about the slow response boys, I did somewhat of a survey on your question and on the street they don't fear North Korea but believe its leader to be somewhat of a nutcase.
The other thing I've been told is that North Korea acts as somewhat of a buffer zone from a heavily American influenced South Korea so I gather that that they're more comfortable with the North as compared to a pro American South.
Nothing official, just talk on the street.

#5 But the other side is that the current regime in North Korea is an excuse to US conservatives to keep troops in Northeast Asia and for Japan and South Korea to maintain the alliance. Surely the removal of that excuse would be to China's long-term advantage.
#6 If KJI really is a nutcase and gets nuclear weapons he could hurt you real bad, even it it was the last thing he could ever do. You are taking gamble he might get ticked off at you some day. Nutcases do that.

Looking at the yield of their (NK) so called Nuke, I don't think a Country like China has much to worry about. North Korea certainly deflects a lot of criticism from coming their way.
I think the Chinese do a lot of things right but their human rights/Animal abuse issues are a disgrace. They also need to improve environmental issues. I like their Banks Domestic economics.
