It appears that China and N. Korea are looking for a face saving way out of this mess. I guess the actions of the 'little' people in S. Korea calling for retaliation are starting to pay off. Via Fox News.
China calls for urgent talks on North Korea
Published November 28, 2010
Associated Press
China's nuclear envoy is calling for an emergency meeting of North Korean disarmament talks to discuss the tensions on the Korean peninsula. Wu Dawei says chief negotiators at the six-nation nuclear talks are being asked to come to Beijing in early December for the emergency session. He said in a statement Sunday that the international community, particularly members of the six-party talks, are deeply concerned about recent developments on the peninsula. China was slow at first to react after ally North Korea pummeled a South Korean island with an artillery barrage on Tuesday, but has quickened its diplomatic intervention in recent days.
Looks like relations with China will be entering a new phase. First, this attempt by China and N. Korea to achieve a face saving way out will probably fail. Public passions in the South are running too high. Second, China was unable to 'enforce' their verbal blockade of the Yellow Sea. And lastly, China has buckled to US demands that they become involved.
All in all a bad week for the Communist.
You are either self-delusional or willingly misinformed.

China is warning us to butt ou! PEriod!
ReplyDeletePlease note: I firmly believe China has already fired a warning shot at the U.S. also as that thing off the coast of California was definitely a missile, government lies beside. Thanks to Clinton allowing them to buy missile guidance technology along with this President's Chamberlain like tendencies (Anti-American in my book) it stands to reason that China is getting exactly what it wants
I wrote the following well over a year ago. In the full post, I made the argument that this President showing the weakness that he is now known for would in fact aid and abet this tin horn dictator in N.Korea. I just above took the China card into consideration as to my premise. Now, the madman is taking his shots as I feared and the Moron in Chief has the utter gall to proclaim this isn't a crisis or something to that effect.
"WE CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH MADMEN! Chamberlain Jr. has got to get that through his fat head! While we fiddle/faddle, Korea lies to our faces while working at getting what they want! One other thing here. The folks on the left seem to think the Koreans, being the honorable people that they are would never do anything stupid! Wrong!! As is evidenced buy their latest action, the North Koreans are willing to risk destruction well knowing the weak sister leaders of the world will cave in as always. And in the eyes of the morons in power here, they can't deliver a payload! WRONG! They have a short range missile that can deliver a small warhead. And lest anyone forget, we have 35,000 troops around the border there. One bomb. That's all it takes! But we'll trust the Anti-American UN and a madman?! Good Grief!
why do we always treat other countries like children. They need to save face?! SAVE FACE?! Tell them to grow up. Everyone would be all over the US if they do something thats clearly wrong just to save face
ReplyDeleteLets fire a missile into North Korea as they're doing a military parade, kill a few ppl, and then blame North Korea for provoking the fight. We have to save face, because it would look embarrassing for us for looking weak. You think that argument will fly? Its absurd. Yet somehow everyone seem to be using that argument with North Korea
ReplyDeleteAnyMouse #1 gives a New York Slime opinion piece for his evidence that Sol is delusional? Hello pot,the kettle needs to speak with you.
ReplyDeleteNK to China is like that embarrassing relative you always have to get out of trouble. I think the shelling was all about internal politics, beefing up the new guys cred with the NK power structure. They went over the line, they know they did, but they'll bully and bluster until China bails them out via talks.
China is acting now after some delay because they realize that everyone, especially the ROK,is really pissed off about this uncalled for act.
I think you're right that there is no real way for them to save face (not that the rest of the world really cares). They caved to outside pressure for talks and the carrier in the Yellow Sea is like the neighbor you don't like coming in and taking a crap in your pool and making you clean it up.
