Yesterday, she was harping about how US can help China be independent in Natural Gas areas.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

I find it very difficult to form an idea about where this Korea problem is headed.
It is hanging over the market.
And what will happen on June 7?

Hi investar,

Nothing will really happen. It's all Noise. When they are making fiery speeches, it means that they are not planning to attack each other.

China also does not want anything to happen. If something does happen, China will get a few million refugees. And a million Chinese died for the North Koreans during the Korean war. Also, China is their only friend left on the UN Security Council...

So where do we go from here ? They will give the North Koreans a face saving way out. Maybe thru giving up their Nuclear weapons, which the North Koreans have decided to give up anyway. It does not hurt if they try to squeeze a few million barrels of oil and a few tonnes of rice along the way :P

This is because the North Koreans have seen the development in China and knows that the only way out for them is to embrace the Chinese model.

Take care,
Winston

Wen says China won't protect those who sank warship


SEOUL - China will not protect whoever was to blame for sinking a South Korean warship, visiting Premier Wen Jiabao was quoted as saying on Friday.

Mr Wen made the comments at a meeting with South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak, according to Mr Lee's spokesman.

South Korea blames North Korea for sinking the warship on March 26 with the loss of 46 lives. It is pressing China to support its diplomatic drive to censure the North at the United Nations Security Council.

Mr Wen was quoting as telling Mr Lee that China would decide its position on the issue 'fairly' after reviewing international investigations.

'The Chinese government will review the results of international probes closely and consider reactions from countries concerned seriously,' Mr Wen was quoted as saying.

'It will then take its position on this issue in an objective and fair manner. According to the investigation results, China will not protect anyone.'

China is the North's sole major ally. Unlike many other countries, it has not so far blamed Pyongyang for the sinking. -- AFP

NKorea vows to blow up South propaganda facilities

NKorea vows to blow up SKorea propaganda equipment, says it can turn Seoul into 'sea of flame'

KWANG-TAE KIM
AP News

Jun 12, 2010 00:49 EDT

North Korea vowed Saturday to launch an all-out attack against South Korean loudspeakers and other propaganda facilities along their heavily fortified border, warning it can even turn Seoul into a "sea of flame."

In 2004, the rival Koreas ended decades of propaganda campaigns as relations warmed following a landmark summit in 2000. However, South Korea resumed radio broadcasts to the North last month and installed a dozen propaganda loudspeakers along the border. The resumption of psychological warfare was part of punitive steps taken against the North over the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship.

South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-young told a parliamentary hearing Friday that loudspeaker broadcasts would begin after the U.N. Security Council decides on any new measures against the North, Yonhap news agency reported.

South Korea has officially asked the Security Council to punish North Korea for what Seoul says was a North Korean torpedo attack on the 1,200-ton Cheonan warship that killed 46 sailors.

A multinational investigation led by South Korea concluded last month that North Korea was responsible. North Korea has denied responsibility and threatened to respond to South Korean retaliatory measures with war.

The General Staff of the Korean People's Army said in a statement Saturday that North Korea would launch an "all-out military strike" to blow up any propaganda facilities along the border, and that its retaliation would be "a merciless strike foreseeing even the turn of Seoul ... into a sea of flame."

The statement was carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

The North's military earlier warned it would fire at any propaganda facilities installed in the Demilitarized Zone that has separated the two Koreas since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, which concluded in a truce, not a peace treaty.

South Korea's Defense Ministry and the Joint Chiefs of Staff said they had no immediate comment on the North's latest threat.

North Korea has for years threatened the South with destruction, though it has never followed through with an all-out military assault since the 1953 armistice was concluded.

Seoul, South Korea's capital of over 10 million people, is considered vulnerable because it is well within the range of North Korean artillery.

Did you remember those cuber-attacks before ? Well, they are back ...

New cyberattacks in SKorea; sites suffer no damage

New cyberattacks on South Korean government websites, but no major damage

Two South Korean government websites were struck by the second cyberattack in a week, but suffered no major damage, the government said Saturday.

Most of the computers trying to access the websites were traced to China, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security said in a statement.

The Korean Culture and Information Service and the Justice Ministry were the targets of the so-called denial of service attacks on Friday, in which large numbers of computers try to connect to a site at the same time to overwhelm the server, the statement said.

The security ministry said it quickly blocked access by 274 computers with Internet Protocol addresses — the Web equivalent of a street address or phone number — mostly in China.

On Wednesday, similar attacks originating from China occurred on a site run by the security ministry.

The statement said it was investigating who was behind the attacks.

Last year, government websites in South Korea and the U.S. were paralyzed by similar cyberattacks that South Korean officials believed were conducted by North Korea.

South Korean media have reported that North Korea runs an Internet warfare unit aimed at hacking into U.S. and South Korean military networks to gather information and disrupt service.

The two Koreas are still technically at war because the three-year Korean War ended in 1953 with an cease-fire, not a peace treaty.
