#1 See also YONHAP > NORTH KOREA THREATENS TO FIRE [aimed shots]AT SOUTH KOREAN BORDER FACILITIES [e.g. Imjin Pavilion], believed by Pyongyang to be involved in sending propanganda leaflets into the DPRK.

* SAME > CHANCES OF UPRISING IN NORTH KOREA SLIM BUT NOT RULED OUT: DEFECTORS.

IMO the Starving DPRK is reacting to the news that ROK PRESIDENT LEE MYUN BAK'S ADMIN is interested more in BILATERAL, INTER-KOREAN COOPERATION + CO-PROSPERITY, NOT [Costly, Near-term] RE-UNIFICATION = STATES MERGER.

Again, RISING CHINA can wait for a couple or few decades [2030-2050 maxima]to achieve its desired SOLE BASE RIGHTS ala the "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN", PARTICULARLY IN NE ASIA = NORPAC, In the absence of MASSIVE, ROUTINE = PER ANNUM FOREIGN ASSISTANCE FROM CHINA + UNO + US-WEST, etc, ITS DUBIOUS IFF STARVING NORTH KOREA = KIM DYNASTY CAN WAIT OR SURVIVE BEYOND THE 2015-2020/2025 TIME FRAME.

Given also that DPRK-Overlord China does not desire to see agz a NUCLEAR-ARMED JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, OR OTHER IN EAST ASIA.

Lest we fergit, CHINA NETTERS/BLOGGERS > prefer for China to wage MAJOR CONVENTIONAL = [LIMITED?]NUCWAR IN EAST ASIA THAN TO SEE A RE-MILITARIZED, NUCLEAR-ARMED JAPAN ANDOR THE US MAINTAIN PERMANENT CONTROL OF TAIWAN.

Taiwan = "Warm Water" PLA Bastion in the Middle of East Asia + direct access into WESTPAC BETWEEN NORPAC [Japan] + SOPAC/SOUPAC [Philippines, Malaccas].

Hainan + Taiwan + Okinawa/Ryukyus [Okin-Sakhalin].
