  1. Actually, Chinese government wants punish North Korea because its latest nuclear missile test coincided defiantly with the recent BRICS summit held in Xiamen, China. The UNSC sanctions serves as an good excuse for China to impose sanctions on North Korea as punishment for carrying out those missile tests held during BRICS summit. In politics, its all about the timing.

  2. It is apparent that sanctions do not work on North Korea, so why continue pursuing sanctions knowing that it has no effect. North Korea seems to target US military bases in South Korea and Okinawa Japan, so why not try different approach instead by withdrawing troops from those regions? That would do more to reduce tensions on Korean peninsula than any sanctions China applied on North Korea. Its crazy to keep on doing the same approach again and again, and expecting the results to be different.

  3. Tiangong-1 was launched in 2011, and originally predicted for 2 year operational lifespan. But its already 2018, so the reentry is long overdue that's all. America's Skylab spacestation made news headlines during its reentry back in 1979, so this is the merely the natural conclusion to spacestations at the end of their lifespan.

  4. The company that ordered the tanker to transfer oil to North Korean vessels was actually Taiwan-based charterer, Billions Bunker Group Corp so you can't blame mainland China for actions of Taiwan company

  5. +Simon The government supports unification of Korea, but any unification should be done by Korean themselves, without USA interference. You say China secretly support North Korea, but China doesn't even have any military bases in North Korea, whereas South Korea is host to US military bases. How can proper unification occur at all, when foreign powers like USA are actively stationed in South Korea? China has always supported peaceful unification of Korea, but it is North Korean missile testing and USA sending warships and aircraft carrier strikegroups from other side of the globe that is escalating tensions in the region. So what can China do about this at all? North Korea seems target US military bases in South Korea and Okinawa Japan. Chinese government can't do anything about those, and USA choosing withdraw its troops from those territories, would contribute more to easing tensions in Korean peninsula, than any sanctions China could ever impose on North Korea. The government is only agreeing to sanctions now to punish N. Korean missile test during BRICS that's all, but it is not trying to push North Korea over the edge into outright war in East Asia.

  6. +Simon The Sunshine policy adopted by South Korea was good attempt mend relations, but it was probably USA that cast a shadow over it. USA did not support that policy as President Bush had called North Korea an "Axis of Evil". Soon afterwards, South Korean leadership was replaced in 2008, and the policy was discontinued, which pleased USA. Next year in 2009, North Korea began its nuclear missile testing. I can't speak for North Korea, but it is most likely they saw South Korea's new leader attempting to placate its relations with USA. USA also probably has an interest to keep Korea divided. Like I mentioned previous, while China has no military base in N. Korea, S. Korea is host to some 28,500 American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines in S. Korea. If Korea was unified, USA would be forced withdraw its forces from Korea, losing strategic region against China in East Asia. No one can predict whether a unified Korea will side with China or USA, but China is regional neighbor, whereas USA is on other side of the globe. Historically, Korea was unified country under Joseon dynasty, but after Japanese conquered it and was defeated, Korea was suddenly divided into North Korea (USSR) and South Korea (USA). North Korea emerged in a superior position during that period and while you consider it an invasion by North Korea, they saw it as civil war to reunify Korea. How can a country invade itself? Are the North and South separate sovereign countries or just halves of a single country? Who gives foreigners the right to decide divide a unified country just like that? North Korea almost succeeded in unifying Korea (about 90%) but then USA joined the Korean War (which should have been internal civil war, decided by Koreans) against it, and pushed it all the way back, past the 38 parallel and into North Korean territory. When USA and S. Korean forces was at the doorsteps of China, did China finally intervened because we did not want another US puppet like Japan. And lastly, China could probably easily solve this problem by invading N. Korea and annexing it as part of China, and through development, modernize N. Korea to modern standards. USA wouldn't protest such invasion by China against US enemy. S. Korea might protest, but it would torn between N. Korea who is enemy, but is part of Korean territory, and China who is foreign invader of Korea, but attacking S. Korea's enemy. Ultimately, S. Korea might even welcome Chinese invasion of N. Korea. But China wouldn't do that, because it damage reputation and relations with Korea. Assassinate Kim also doesn't automatically mean N. Korea will install Chinese puppet. Look at Kim killing his uncle and half-brother to foil Chinese attempts to control N. Korean leadership. Installing a puppet is not easy, and even then the "puppet" may not be accepted by the people. Look at USA cutting of the heads of countries in Middle East (Gaddafi, Saddam Husein, etc) and installing their own US puppets. In the end, the situation is not improved significantly.

  7. Actually, the oil tanker that transferred the oil cargo to North Korean vessels did so under a Taiwan-based charterer, Billions Bunker Group Corp

  8. Sanctions on North Korea only increase the suffering of N. Korean citizens, instead of the government, so why continue to pursue such course of actions?

  9. Toma Hawk So you want continue punishing the N. Korean citizens instead of the government by imposing sanctions? This whole thing leads back to my original comment that the N.K government is not the one feeling the "burn" of those sanctions. So why continue doing the same thing over and over again? Why not try different approach instead?

  10. Toma Hawk How about blaming the shooter instead? Why is he shooting in the first place? N. Korea is no threat to USA, and its missiles are currently incapable of hitting the US mainland, so why act like USA is in danger? Everyone knows that N. Korea will be annihilated if it ever does launch an actual attack on USA, even Kim himself knows this.

  11. Why are you people resorting to abusing racial slurs against Chinese people now?
