China-Japan-Koreas

NORKS agree to truce with ROK, sez 'regrets' its actions

2015-08-25

[The Telegraph] North Korea has promised to cause no further provocation to South Korea and expressed "regret" for its actions in a last-minute climb down which is hoped to prevent open warfare on the peninsula.
Cheque clears, everyone happy now.
The two Koreas had been locked in tense negotiations in an abandoned village on the peninsula's border after regime leader Kim Jong-un declared a "quasi state of war" on Friday.

But at 2am local time it was revealed the crisis talks had ended with both sides agreeing on a truce.

For its part, South Korea promised it would cease blaring out anti-Pyongyang propaganda from loudspeakers at noon on August 25.

The gesture is said to have triggered this week's violent tensions on the peninsula and led to an exchange of artillery fire earlier this week.

North Korea added that it would lift its "quasi war status" and both sides are said to have agreed on working to reunite families separated in the Korean war.

#5 Again, CHINA is unlikely to support any formal or final reunification between the Two Koreas unless it de facto gets back TAIWAN.

China may support certain or selective forms of Inter-Korean State Cooperation-n-Partnership, BUT NEVER DE FACTO REUNIFICATION. UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES, THE ONLY FUTURE NOKOR CAN LOOK FORWARD TO IS CONTINUING CHINESE DOMINATION, LATER TAKEOVER ANDOR ANNEXATION OF THE NOKOR NATION-STATE AS A CHINESE PROVINCE.

Iff the US-Allies include Russia support Inter-Korean Reunification, then its in their latters' interest that NOKOR HAS NUKES.

NOKOR = IRAN = RANT-N-RAVE-N-THREATEN, ETC. AGZ THE WILY DASTARDLY CAPITALIST IMPERIALIST US-WEST WHILE SSSHHHHH ... PCCCCCCC COVERTLY BEING SUPPORTED BY SAME.

Ironically, widin the narrow sujective scope of supporting Inter-Korean Reunification + Non-Return of Taiwan, it may also be in the interest of the US-Allies iff Radical Islam's Hard Boyz could attack + destabilize China, thus weakening China + helping to keep both the CPC/CCP's + PLA's attention diverted from any NOKOR attempt to reunify wid the South.

A DANGEROUS MILPOL/GEOPOL TIGHTROPE FOR CHINA + US-ALLIES + WORLD - YOU BETCHA!

OTOH, 1970'S "NO PAIN = NO GAIN", correct???
