China reprimands North Korea for nuclear weapons test

Kim_jongil.jpg It's good to know that despite us being bosom buddies, China is still “resolutely opposed” to North Korea's nuclear weapons test. A Foreign Ministry statement called Pyongyang's test in defiance of the international community and its own commitments against nuclear weaponry. It called for North Korea to avoid actions that would raise the tension between it and other nations, and return to dismantling its nuclear programs. But will stern words from their compatriots (and aid providers... and tickets to the 60th Anniversary bash providers) be enough to stop Kim Jong-Il from going ahead with his atomic vision? Nobody puts Dear Leader in a corner! Source: AP

I don't know the answer, but I can't see how fulfilling their paranoia would help.
