North Korea's Nuclear Intentions

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22103753

The G8 group of nations has officially condemned North Korea's missile program "in the strongest possible terms." If another test launch or other threatening action is taken by North Korea, the G8 has vowed to take aggressive action.

With the threat of nuclear war looming, there's been speculation about the relationship between North Korea and China. If war was to occur, there's a question over which side China, one of the only nations with ties to North Korea, would join.

In the last decade, China has become an integral part of the world economy and a massive exporter. Joining North Korea in nuclear war, undeniably, would be a death sentence for any hopes of an international Chinese economy in the future.

Hopefully we won't have to see this decision be made.
