In a previous post, Who's not afraid of North Korea, I wrote that China has a certain leverage over Pingyong. However, from today's Missle launch, it seems to Japan and the U.S. that Beijing's influence is waning, if not gone completely yet.
North Korea's missle testing seemed to have caught China offguard, Xinhua news agency had to cite Japanese media accounts to report the news. As a host of six party talks, people wonder how long China can still use its power to urge North Korea to play a responsible role?
