China suspended key rail freight services into North Korea last week after 1,800 wagons carrying food aid and tradeable goods crossed into Kim Jong-il’s hermit state but were never returned.
Absconding with Chinese wagons would be a strange move for North Korea because Beijing is Pyongyang’s closest political ally and biggest provider of food, goods and oil. Analysts monitoring North Korea said Chinese officials had privately complained to them that the North Koreans were dismantling Chinese wagons and selling them back as scrap metal.
This is the height of chutzpa but sadly typical of that country, lol, but I cant feel a bit childish and go, "nanananana" to china. After all, its China who is North Korea's backer and as I mentioned before, it is the support of China that is allowing that nutcase Dear Leader to continue.
If China pulls the plug, humpty dumpty will come tumbling down. But China will learn that it is not worthwhile supporting dictators and other assorted gangsters and autocrats. France learnt that, United Kingdom learnt that, America has not learnt it, but well, its imperialism is still young. They will learn and it is better to stay away from these dictators at worst and kick them out at best.
