Summary of Article:
In North Korea they are wanting to conduct a nuclear bomb test, but the US, and China are not about to let this happen. It would be a setback in the growth that the Korean peninsula has come from. The UN has gone to expanded the sanctions on this missile crisis, so that it will not occur. Even though they have been threatened, North Korea plans on going on with a 3rd nuclear test on the US, and Physical countermeasures if South Korea went along with the UN sanctions. China plans on withdrawing from assisting North Korea if they plan on the tests, because they believe the world should not start another war, and the world's demise.
My thoughts:
My opinions on this article are that the UN took the right actions in this situation. Is N. Korea wanting to start world war 3, because if so then they are doing just that! This article is getting the word spread of what North Korea is doing, and the actions that are being taken place, and to get the word spread. There does not need to be another nuclear test, and hopefully with the UN taking action there never will be.
Political Tie-In:
This ties in politically through China, because of the 'close' partnership with North Korea. China is North Korea's life line economically. If North Korea says what it will do, then China will leave North Korea, because China will not be a contributor to what could possibly end up happening. The State cannot allow for chaos to break loose, so siding with a decision that could ultimately prevent anything from happening gives a more ease at mind to China, and its political leaders, that they are helping to prevent a cause.
