| [Straits Times] CHINA'S top foreign policy official will visit North Korea, possibly on Wednesday, in an effort to defuse rising tension on the Korean peninsula, Japan's Kyodo News agency reported on Tuesday. Dai Bingguo ... "and Bingguo was his name-o!" ... is expected to urge the North Korean leadership to accept a Chinese proposal for an emergency meeting of six regional powers to defuse the tension, Kyodo said, quoting unnamed diplomatic sources. Mr Dai visited South Korea on Saturday and Sunday and held talks with President Lee Myung Bak on the North's deadly shelling of a South Korean island last week. Mr Dai held talks with pudgy North Korean hereditary dictator Kim Jong Il ... that'd be Dear Leader to you ... when he visited the country in 2003 and 2009 as Chinese President Hu Jintao's special envoy, Kyodo reported. |

| #1 Much to do about nothing. The shelling was a reminder to the south that Seoul is within easy artillery range and wouldn't it be easier to just bribe us to behave? I think that the USA should pick an opportunity to remind the norks what SDB's launched from a B-1B can do to cave mouths that shelter artillery. |
