It does seem to have gotten really tense there, not a suprise as sinking a boat is a step up from North Korea - they clearly want something big if they are making that much noise.

China is going to be interesting - while it will protect North Korea, I have to wonder if North Korea sinking a ship is something that China is happy about. I can see a public protection of North Korea while they get slapped about behind closed doors by the China.
