U.S., China to reach final agreement on N.K. sanctions resolution | |||||
2016-02-25 | |||||
The United States and China were expected to reach final agreement Wednesday on a draft U.N. Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on North Korea for its nuclear and missile tests, diplomatic sources said.
Final agreement is expected when Wang meets with U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice, the sources said. Other sources said that the draft calls for blacklisting three key state agencies overseeing Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs as well as espionage operations -- the General Reconnaissance Bureau, the Ministry of Atomic Energy Industry and the National Aerospace Development Administration.
The General Reconnaissance Bureau has been accused of masterminding a series of provocations, including the 2010 torpedoing of a South Korean warship and the 2014 cyber-attacks on Sony Pictures, while the other two agencies are in charge of the North's nuclear and missile programs.
After the North's Jan. 6 nuclear test, the Security Council pledged to adopt significant sanctions, but has not been able to do so because China has balked at imposing harsh measures on Pyongyang. Amid the deadlock, the North flouted the Security Council again with a banned missile launch on Feb. 7. Beijing has condemned the North's nuclear and missile tests but has been lukewarm about calls for a stern response. Analysts have long said Beijing fears that pushing Pyongyang too hard could lead to its collapse, instability on its border and the ultimate emergence of a pro-U.S. nation.

#3 China blocks anything meaningful and the US pays a couple of billions and donates thousands of tons of free food. Is that about right? |

#1 China is the provider of nearly everything in NOKOR, wid its role or trade dominance forecasted to keep getting ever-bigger. WAR OR PEACE, THE END GAME FOR NOKOR IS EVENTUAL CHINESE TAKEOVER BY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, AND TO INCLUD POSSIBLE POTEN ANNEXATION/ACCESSION TO CHINA. As long as the US-Allies fail to find a way to get China + Taiwan to peacefully reunite, PUDGY = NOKOR WON'T STOP TRYING TO DEV NUKE-WMDS FOR HIS COUNTRY. He will intentionally cause or start a US-China War iff he has to. NOKOR GOING DOWN = EVERYBODY GOES DOWN WID IT. |
