China may back coup against Kim
Michael Sheridan, Beijing
16oct06

THE Chinese are openly debating "regime change" in Pyongyang after last week's nuclear test by their confrontational neighbour.

Diplomats in Beijing said at the weekend that China and all the major US allies believed North Korea's claim that it had detonated a nuclear device. US director of national intelligence John Negroponte circulated a report that radiation had been detected at a site not far from the Chinese border.
The US may have employed highly classified satellite technology to detect tiny leaks of gas or elements associated with nuclear detonation, according to a diplomatic source in the Chinese capital. This would explain Washington's reluctance to explain the findings in public.

The Washington Times disclosed that US spy satellites photographed North Koreans playing volleyball just a few hundred metres from a test site tunnel after the underground explosion.

The Chinese Government has been ultra-cautious in its reaction. However, since Monday, Foreign Ministry officials have started to make a point of distinguishing between the North Korean people and their Government in conversations with diplomats.

"Backing regime change" those are lite words "remaining after coup due to security purposes" and those are lite words for "occupation" ...

I think you get the point.

CASS and the Northeast Project, if you want to know China's plans for NK and why they will engineer a coup d' Etat, or even attack NK, before they will let the US make a substantial move.

SK's nearest neighbor may soon be North Korea, province/semi-autonomous area of China. And I don't think China would mind at all if a huge portion of the NK populace were to flee soouth. Talk about weakening the competition!

If that were to happen, Sk would probably want to think about removing the part of the constitution which says all North Koreans are citizens of South Korea.
