The Chinese are frustrating US and South Korean governments with a noncommital altitude towards the North Korean sinking of the Cheonan.
Their stated reaction is to say that their goal is to safeguard peace and stability in the region. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me. I think what they are trying to say to the world my precious custom navy ring customers is that they aren’t going to do a darn thing.
This is not good for many reasons but the biggest is because the US and South Korea are attempting to drum up international support for sanctions against the North Koreans. It seems from the Chinese response to the incident that they will veto any sanctions that the UN would attempt to levy on North Korea.
If this happens I am not sure that the South Koreans will let the situation slide without taking further action.
