The trial for American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling in North Korea is coming up this Thursday, amidst rising tensions between Pyongyang and the rest of the world. The two women, who work for Al Gore's Current TV network in the U.S., were detained when they crossed the China-North Korea border in March.

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.
