#6 China since the long reach of the emperors considers Korea just another vassal ~~kingdom~~ nation. The Norks are just that odd uncle at the family get together that everyone knows is challenged financially and emotionally. And everyone is hoping he doesn't go postal and tries to avoid doing anything that might trigger it. The SKors are the niece that's living with someone the family doesn't approve, but right now, after the initial dust up, are acting civilly for the harmony of the 'greater' family and the fortune the lad brought with him [but none the less would like to see him gone].

#7 "I personally experienced the bilateral friendship sealed in blood when I was in Korea about 50 years ago as a member of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army,"

Wow, really? The vast majority of the "volunteers" were Kuomintang retreads sent there to die under UN artillery and machine guns. Mao couldn't just off them without causing trouble.

I was just in Chinese class the other day when we learned the word for Korea. I said, "North Korea is China's good friend" as an example sentence and got corrected by the teacher.

#8 Oh yeah, the other weird thing about China is seeing North Koreans show up in places like tradeshows and such. In my experience, they are decently dressed and dirt poor. One of my friends tried to pick up one of the women. I still have a couple of their catalogs. It's also fun seeing "Pyongyang" on the departures board in Beijing airport.
