Hu Jintao criticized Kim Jung-il, "Why can't he feed the two thousand milion starving north koreans".
lately, Wikileaks disclosed on American diplomatic cable.
There are many issues listed on it . But among them, the issue that china blame North korea attracts attention.
According to the disclosed fact, China is critical of North korea now.
China criticized that North korea is like a spoiled child who want to draw attention by missile testing.
when president Hu jin tao met Kim jung-il in Changchun last august, China also blamed North korea for why they can't feed two thousand milion residents not even thirteen billion chinese starve.
and then, China rejected their requests that include the latest-model battle plane and thirty billion dollars economic cooperation and the annual support of the million tons of crude oil and the five hundred thousand tons of rice.
How stuffy they feel, even china called as the brother nation of north korea told like that.
North korea was criticized by china but kim jung il & kim jung eun don't still understand current situation.
North korea already attacked yeounpyung-do and they gave south korea a strict warning of the attack on Gyeong gi-do before the new year.
they might want to get something from ohter countries by using cunning threats. haha.
but sorry to them, North korea barked up the worng tree. time passed and also trend changed.
now is not the past that kind of threats were accepted. they sould be aware of the fact that they can get nothing with threats.
China's economy is almost dependent on the United States, and vice versa. I do not see either going to war directly any time soon. However, North Korea is a problem that threatens relations between the two countries, and I think either North Korea will collapse from the inside or China will step in.
No one in East Asia wants the North Korean government to fall. Bradley K. Martin puts forth a pretty interesting conclusion in his book "Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader: North Korea and the Kim Dynasty." All of the players have something to gain by keeping North Korea propped up.
USA: A willing host for for thousands of troops to maintain global supremacy. As long as there is a threat to South Korea, the SK government will allow Uncle Sam to keep its troops there. The USA wants to maintain a presence in East Asia and needs an excuse to keep troops there because the Japanese are getting pretty fed up with the antics by US servicemen on their soil.
JAPAN: By keeping the Koreas divided, they can maintain economic dominance over South Korea. This is important to them since China has surpassed Japan in economic might this year.
CHINA: Doesn't want to play host to thousands of refugees from NK. Several parts of the NK-China border are unmarked and undefended. Portions of the Yalu river are a mere trickle, thus making it easy for North Koreans to enter into China to flee the chaos of a collapsing government. Also, they don't want to have a robust democracy on its border, especially when the people north of the border are mostly ethnic Koreans living in China. They might get some ideas about how government should be. ;-)
SOUTH KOREA: Quite simply doesn't want to deal with the mess. A lot of young South Koreans kind of wish that North Korea would go away.
NORTH KOREA: The government is pretty happy. The people on the other hand is debatable. Some are hopelessly brainwashed, others are constantly plotting their escapes.
