I'd say anyone moving 150,000 troops anywhere ought to be of everyone's concern. Particularly in that part of the world.

In 1979 when PRC invaded Vietnam, they deployed 600,000 troops, and got their rear end kicked severely...

I wonder against whom they are going to use this 150,000. I mean - demonstrate, I don't want to think they will use them in combat...

China has pulled the strings of NK all along...it has been under their direction that NK has stirred the pot...they are watching the US response carefully.

It boils down to Thailand.

This latest action is China's way of saying "FU!" to the US.

The US asked China to let a whole crapload more NK starving refugee's across the board.  China responded by putting 150,000 troops on the boarder.

Now you tell me what you think that means?


I think it means that China doesnt want a flood of refugees crossing the border or Mr. P. to continue his quest for nuclear arms.

Hardly 'FU' to the US.  Quite the opposite, IMO.

The theory is that the PRC is using NK to test US resolve.

What for? Just to know that there are some loonies overseas who can start a nuclear war for nothing?

All the situation around North Korea is extremely complicated. Three powers are playing games around it.

Possible reasons and motivations:

US: "Axis of evil" is nothing more then a propaganda slogan, and a pretty stupid one. The real reason for the game may be the desire to destabilize the whole region, that will immediately reflect on international markets in favour of the US. Remember when Clingon administration started the war supporting terrorists to destabilize EU and drop the Euro exchange rate in 1999?

China: probably will benefit from knocking South Korea from hi-tech markets, plus has a good reason to "trade" Taiwan from Americans for not supporting DPRK in the upcoming war.

Russia: tries to get all possible benefits from the side that will offer better conditions. Absolutely not interested in millions of possible refugees in Far East. The only thing that DPRK can offer us is the planned railway from South Korea that goes around China and will help us earn some money on South Korean goods delivery to Europe.

Any other ideas?

I don't know Boroda, but I think those terrified women and children hiding in the hills slowly starving to death might have had something to do with it.
