So when South Koreans meet with the Chinese, who also kind of like having a nuclear armed loose cannon pointed at America and Japan, I have to worry:
A nuclear test by the communist North would be "a grave situation of a different level from missile launches," Song Min-soon said after returning from a two-day trip to China, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
"South Korea and China have agreed to continue cooperation not to let that situation occur," Song was quoted as saying. He did not elaborate on how the two countries would cooperate.
Since neither China nor South Korea seem interested in cornering North Korea and attempting to collapse the regime or at least coerce them into behaving, their cooperation seems likely to mean an agreement to bribe North Korea. Said the South Korean foreign minister Ban Ki-moon:
"We need to exhibit resolve in denouncing North Korea's bad behavior whilst having the wisdom not to corner North Korea into a dead end with no way out," Ban told foreign correspondents in Seoul.
Yep. I bet they are going to give North Korea a way out lined with money.
It really is up to America and Japan alone to solve this problem.
