N. Korea: Sanctions are war declaration

By JAE-SOON CHANG, Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Tuesday it considered U.N. sanctions aimed at punishing the country for its nuclear test "a declaration of war," as Japan and South Korea reported the communist nation might be preparing a second explosion.

The North broke two days of silence about the U.N. resolution adopted after its Oct. 9 nuclear test with a statement on the official state news agency, as China warned Pyongyang against stoking tensions.

"The resolution cannot be construed otherwise than a declaration of a war" against the North, the statement said. North Korea is known officially as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The chief U.S. nuclear envoy, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, said the North's response was "not very helpful."

"I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding about what the international community feels about its actions," Hill said in Seoul after a meeting with his South Korean and Russian counterparts.

Hill said he could not confirm South Korean and Japanese reports that the North may be preparing another nuclear explosion, but said a second test would force the international community "to respond very clearly."

North Korea "is under the impression that once they make more nuclear tests that somehow we will respect them more," Hill told reporters after a meeting with U.S. and Russian counterparts. "The fact of the matter is that nuclear tests make us respect them less."

In its statement, North Korea said it would not be intimidated.

The communist nation "had remained unfazed in any storm and stress in the past when it had no nuclear weapons," the statement said. "It is quite nonsensical to expect the DPRK to yield to the pressure and threat of someone at this time when it has become a nuclear weapons state."

Chun Yung-woo, South Korea's top nuclear envoy, dismissed the statement as "the usual rhetoric that they have been using at the time of the adoption of the Security Council resolution."

China has long been one of North Korea's few allies, but relations have frayed in recent months by Pyongyang's missile tests and the nuclear explosion last week.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao warned Pyongyang against aggravating tensions, saying the North should help resolve the situation "through dialogue and consultation instead of taking any actions that may further escalate or worsen the situation."

The United States pressed on with a round of diplomacy in Asia aimed at finding consensus on how to implement U.N. sanctions on the North. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was expected to go to Japan on Wednesday before traveling to South Korea and China.

Hill stressed that the international community should make the North pay a "high price" for its "reckless behavior."

Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso said his government had "information" about another possible blast, and a senior South Korean official said there were signs that the North could be preparing a second test — but emphasized that it was unlikely to happen immediately.

"We have yet to confirm any imminent signs of a second nuclear test," the official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.

China, whose support for the measures is key to whether they will have any effect on neighboring North Korea, has begun examining trucks at the North Korean border to comply with new U.N. sanctions endorsed over the weekend.

South Korea has said it would implement the U.N. sanctions, but also has been cautious about allowing sanctions to shake regional stability. Seoul has also indicated that it has no intention of halting key economic projects with the North, despite concerns that they may help fund the North's nuclear and missile programs.

"Sanctions against North Korea should be done in a way that draws North Korea to the dialogue table," South Korean Prime Minister Han Myung-sook said Tuesday, according to Yonhap news agency. "There should never be a way that causes armed clashes."

In Washington, U.S. National Intelligence Director John Negroponte's office said Monday that air samples gathered last week contain radioactive materials that confirm that North Korea conducted an underground nuclear explosion.

In a short statement posted on its Web site, Negroponte's office also confirmed that the size of the explosion was less than 1 kiloton, a comparatively small nuclear detonation. Each kiloton is equal to the force produced by 1,000 tons of TNT.

It was the first official confirmation from the United States that a nuclear detonation took place, as Pyongyang has claimed.

I do not have a crystal ball;  I just read the writing on the wall.   China and Russia will support North Korea to the end.   The world better get use to this fact.  Unless all three, former military allies get sanctions, North Korea will do what they want.   (And what they are told.)   Don't listen to Russia's and China's public relations people...,   watch their actions...   

During the last Korean War, Russia (the former Soviet Union) supplied military jet pilots, military supplies, advisors, etc. and China supplied a great deal of manpower to North Korea in their invasion of South Korea.   (Russia still has almost half the world's tanks.)

China, North Korea and Russia know that Europe is a complete Paper-Tiger.   South Korea, Japan and the United States will basically be alone in this new  battle.      Jack Cunningham, Sussex

   

Russia, China oppose N. Korea sanctions

UNITED NATIONS - Russia and China on Thursday opposed tough sanctions the U.S. wants to impose against North Korea this week for its claimed nuclear test, saying they want time to work out a more moderate response to Pyongyang's nuclear brinkmanship. After several hours of closed-door negotiations late in the day, Russia and China -- the two Security Council nations closest to Pyongyang -- reported good progress.

 
I hope, I'm wrong about China.   Some feel China may do something about this.  Check out the next link.   The link has been supplied by:  Everett Sumner RHS '75 (everettSum)   http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/008302.php
 
We should all pray, it is right...  especially the North Korean people.

China and Russia are loud to condemn North Korea for their actions, but their support for the World ends there.
Russia will say the same thing.   "No sanctions of punishment."   It brings up my below question.

China reluctant to back Korea sanctions

http://news.yahoo.com/fc/world/north_korea

BEIJING - China appeared to shy away Thursday from backing U.S. efforts to impose a travel ban and financial sanctions on North Korea for its claimed nuclear test, saying any U.N. action should focus on bringing its communist neighbor back to talks. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said North Korea should understand it had made a mistake but "punishment should not be the purpose" of any U.N. response.

Currently, North Korea's missiles can hit American; and Iran's missiles can hit Europe.    And China and Russia support them in almost everything, but their nuclear weapons.    Do you think Russia and China are playing a game of chess, using North Korea and Iran as pawns in a Gambit...  ?    It's like the good old days, between the two giant nations.   (Europe will be a pushover!   And our federal politicians will continue to find dirt on each other...)

Personally, I think the federal government should investigate this riot, if Civil Rights were violated.  An investigation should not be left up to Columbia University.  The New York City Police Department (NYPD) should also get involved for possible assault charges.
