中國跟北韓再沒有耐心 China losing patience with North Korea

Wondering how they're able to fight in such uniforms, probably in competition with the most beautiful Chinese female soldier as in our previous posting • (Petar Kujundzic/Reuters & The New York Times)

Following up on last posting and in the light of Wikileaks publication of cables between American Consulates in China and the Chinese government, it has become obvious that both governments are eager to defuse the tension and find a solution to the North Korea problem. Apparently, the South Korean government has been very creative in this respect. It has started to make contacts with Chinese authorities and companies and promised them to give them  wide oportunities for the exploitation of North Korea  mineral resources as revealed in Wikileaks and reported by the New York Times.
The Chinese and American seem both to be wondering what to do with the enfant terrible that has become the mark of Kim Jong-il and his chubby son Kim Jong-un. Wikileaks reveals that even the Chinese did not believe in the regime's nuclear capabilities and are a bit petrified by its sudden mastery of nuclear bombs.

Unfortunately, there does not seem any crucial cable revealed by Wikileaks about Taiwan and China, just the usual information about arm sales to Taiwan; no wonder, Taiwan is an invisible country in world diplomacy, even Wikileaks is silent about Taiwan. We'll just have to learn what American spies were capable of in the movie Formosa Betrayed .   
Let's hope that if the North Korea State crumbles, and it could happen within a year, that North Korean won't suffer the fate of Chinese miners.
