An Island Trip and A Season of Change

by R. Elgin on May 29, 2010

South Korea and Japan are to have a a two-day trilateral summit with China, on Cheju-do today.  Meanwhile the UN releases leaks a report claiming that North Korea is trading nuclear technology  , “using shell companies and masking techniques” that include criminal networks to sell to Syria, Iran and Myanmar.  Naturally, this has prompted North Korea to release a statement just about the same time as the UN leak, claiming that it’s been framed for sinking the Cheonam.

Update: China fails to censure North Korea at warship summit.
