#1 Ya gotta admit, they're working up a fine multi-threaded soap... and collection of alibis.

#3 Yep. Impressive show. Doesn't cost the Chinees much to amaze and impress the occidental barbarians.

#4 from at least some of its branches since Monday,

that doesn't even qualify as "half-assed"...

#5 lol Frank! I guess they left the part out where the remittances from other banks increased by the same amount.

#6 One of four major state owned banks? At least some of its branches? No mention of what a pathetic effort this is by the Chinese. This article is a complete piece of crap. Modern journalism at work.

#7 China could end their ambitions tomorrow if they wanted. North Korea gets most if not all of its electricity from the PRC. If they cut off the juice things get awful quiet in the hermit kingdom. Also I will think China is serious when ALL the PRC banks stop doing business with North Korea.
