The first thing I would do is talk to the Chinese. Show them a map. Explain
that you might be "Downwind" of North Korea pretty soon, do you want to do
that? You know, that wind that glows in the dark.

You presume that the Chinese leadership gives a crap if a couple million of
their citizens are affected by nuclear fallout. It takes a lot more than
that to scare them.

The Beijing cabal may be smarter than Kim Jong Il, but they take a back seat
to no one in their cynical disregard for anything that does not line their
pockets or further their ambitions in the region.

They are working this crisis for all it's worth to turn it to their
advantage. Look for them to try to get some kind of diplomatic concessions
in exchange for bringing pressure on N. Korea. If I were the Taiwanese, I'd
be sweating.
