In A Fortnight: North Korean Nuclear Test, Satellite Launch Increase Sino-Korean Tensions
On February 7, North Korea televised the launch of a rocket that put an “earth observation satellite” into orbit. South Korea’s spy agency earlier announced that the launch should be viewed as a ballistic missile test, rather than a routine rocket launch. The launch comes on the heels of a test of a thermonuclear device in the mountains near North Korea’s border with China. Both actions have received strong condemnations from the international community, putting North Korea’s relations with its closest ally, China, in the spotlight. http://www.jamestown.org/single/?tx_ttnews[tt_news]=45076&no_cache=1#.VrkveymGhRk
