U.S. Warns China on N. Korea Policy
2011-01-22
U.S. President Barack Obama is warning the United States may have to redeploy American forces in Asia unless China toughens its stance on North Korea.
Right: the man who bowed to Hu again is 'warning' the Chinese. Did Bambi warn them before or after he secured the deal to keep the panda bears at the zoo?
A senior Obama administration official told The New York Times that Obama delivered that warning to Chinese President Hu Jintao this week during the two leaders' private dinner at the White House, just hours after Hu arrived in the United States.

According to the unidentified U.S. official, Obama said, if Beijing does not help curb North Korea's nuclear ambitions, the United States will have to realign its forces to protect against a possible North Korean strike on American soil.
How about instead we let it be known that we'd reluctantly go along with allowing the ROK to develop long-range missiles? That they can arm with nuclear warheads? That they could sell to Taiwan?
U.S. officials have increasingly been warning that North Korea poses a direct threat to the United States. Obama is said to have raised the issue with Hu twice in recent weeks -- first during a telephone conversation last month, then again at their private White House meeting.

American officials told U.S. news outlets Friday that China appears to be taking the warning seriously. They credit renewed pressure from Beijing for the quick agreement on new high-level military talks between North and South Korea.

#3  PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > JAPAN FM HINTS AT FORCIBLE TAIWAN REUNIFICATION, by China + PLA.

Between HAINAN ISLAND + TAIWAN, IMO its Taiwan that is more "China's PEARL HARBOR", wid Hainan akin to US NAVY-DOD MILFACS IN SAN FRANCISCO or SAN DIEGO.

HAINAN IS SO ONLY BECUZ TAIWAN IS NOT YET BACK IN CHINA'S FOLD.
