Beijing Advises Calm over DPRK Deadline
It seems Beijing has abandoned any pretense of cooperating with Washington to "discipline" Pyongyang.
Ever since the late 1940s, "natural" is hardly the word I would use to describe dealing with DPRK. The pulling of perfectly good teeth is more like it. But, if Beijing, who after all have more influence than the US - especially post Treasury fiasco, or when Washington is not opposed by anyone, which is never - says it's "natural" for delays to occur, then it has to be the truth.
"The pace is faster in some areas and slower in some areas. This is natural," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a news conference, urging all sides to fulfill their respective pledges.
"We believe the comprehensive implementation of actions will open broader prospects for the six-party talks."
Yeah, so sit down and don't get emotional! Beijing is taking over.
