Consider the first encounter with Saddam. At the start of the conflict, China was in a state of embargo too, just like Saddam is now, they were in the embargo partly because they are communist but mostly these sanctions were placed on them as a consequence of the human rights violations during the Teinamen Square incident, where innocent protesters were killed, and run over by tanks and shit.
That left China with only 1 export... arms to the middle east. During this time, Saddam and China got very 'chummy'.
And it led Saddam to believe that he had the backing of China when he made his move on Kuwait. But in the 11th hour, the US met with China and agreed to lift the embargos, and sanctions and granted them all sorts of benefits.
So China backed out, and left Saddam high and dry, holding his balls to get raped.
After 4000 odd years of playing war games, nobody is better at it than China, and they owe allegiance to nobody. In fact they'd just as soon hang N.Korea out to dry, and would consider it a masterful stroke of political genius, when they count their booty after all is done.
Some words of wisdom from Paul Hogan, aka Crocadile Dundee.. "Just remember, When everyone else in the room are losing their heads.. gee.. you'll be the tallest one in the room!"
I believe this is Chinas philosophy. Or in other words its extremely unlikely we'll see China get involved in a war, they'd just as soon watch everyone else fuck themselves up, while they chug on. If America and Europe and everyone else in the world were to destroy themselves, that would leave China as the dominant economic super power of the world.
I bet Asian based corporations are giggling to themselves right now.
But it seems really silly that Japan would want to create instability in Asia, I can see why the USA would want it, though.
I wonder what mega-political deals are going on behind the scenes that we know nothing about.
