| Hat tip to Instapundit A Chinese scholar who is also a key Communist Party member in Shanghai, has said Chinese President Hu Jintao through his top envoy informed North Korean leader Kim Jong-il of a possible United States invasion. I don’t know that we’d invade, SK would have to, to feed the populace after we’d bombed them even furher back towards the stone age Shen Dingli, professor at Hudan University in Shanghai and who was visiting Korea for an international seminar, was quoted by sources as saying that Hu’s message was very clear about the possibility of U.S. military action against the communist country that is defying international calls to abandon its nuclear weapons program. Attending a workshop held on the sideline of the 12th Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations last week, the Chinese expert on international relations said, ``Hu told Kim, `If you make a problem, the U.S. will attack you. Don’t expect any help from us.’’’ "You all are on your own, cya!" He said that words of advice by the leader of Pyongyang’s only ally apparently scared the North Korean leader into accommodating Beijing’s suggestion that Pyongyang should engage in talks with the U.S. under whatever format. During Pyongyang’s June 25, 1950, invasion of the South and the ensuing three-year war, China sent tens of thousands of soldiers to help the North avoid being overwhelmed by United Nations forces.
nope, it was the hope that they could blackmail aid from Clinton and the South, and it worked...for a while However, Shen didn’t specify who carried the message but said it was delivered by a senior Chinese official about a month ago. At least three senior Chinese officials have recently visited Pyongyang. They are Army Chief Political Commissar Xu Caihou, and Vice Foreign Ministers Dai Bingguo and Wang Yi. Hu’s message came at a time when the North apparently underwent a change of heart and became more accommodating to multilateral dialogue involving not only the U.S. and China, but also South Korea, Japan and Russia. In April, Pyongyang and Washington held the first and only round of three-way talks, with Beijing playing host, after the North’s admission of having a nuclear weapons program.
Ahhhhh the "sea of fire" crew shows up. Expect much spittle and venom, and that’ll be concerning who gets served ice water first | ||

| #2 If our invasion of Iraq is making nations like China say "don't cause trouble or the Boogey-American will get you!" then it's a success. |
