That article loses a ton of credibility by even suggesting that China is supporting North Korea in this one:

Quote:
The Obama-Hu summit coincides with a growing concern in Seoul over the Cold War-like confrontations between the blocs of South Korea, the United States and Japan, and China and North Korea looming large on the Korean Peninsula.


It seems pretty obvious that China is highly annoyed at North Korea (as Wikileaks appears to confirm), yet doesn't know how to withdraw support entirely without risking serious fallout.

Yep China isnt happy with the Kim family. Days after the artillery incident Japan announced a big military buildup. Not what China wanted.

You just need to look at this ridiculous graph, really.
