BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday urged North Korea not to violate U.N. Security Council resolutions after the North said its newly developed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could carry a large nuclear warhead.

 

Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang, speaking at a daily news briefing, also reiterated a call for calm and restraint.

I have this feeling that the world will wait too long to tame NK and then its insane leader will someday send a nuclear missile somewhere. Then indeed NK will be a waste land. That will be unfortunate as they have already had way to many useless warnings from too many countries.

The west has shown remarkable "restraint".    ...  a level of "restraint" that could even be called reckless in its hopeless reliance on fatboy suddenly coming 'round to acting rationally.   It's the Neville Chamberlain Show in summer reruns.   Time to start relying instead on some common sense.   Fatboy obviously has no intention of veering off the path he's on, and it's way past time to get the military contingency plans - and that would definitely include preemptive action - off the drawing board and into the preparation stage.   Fail to do that, and it'll be part of S. Korea, Japan, or Alaska that's missing...

 

China's not actually the best candidate for mentorship here.  They've used and are using the threat of force to annex a huge chunk of the western Pacific; they're hardly in a position to tell fatboy he can't threaten force to get what HE wants.

The problem is also China does not want an US ally directly on his frontier, so does not wish a reunify Corea at all.
