Boy... did they just 'bite the hand that feeds them'.

Since China has been sending money and aid to North Korea for the last couple of years, and since Kim went to China to get their 'blessing' before he took over for his father... it has always been a silent understanding that when China says 'Jump', Kim asks how high?

To take this China Fishing boat, and then 'demand' money for to return the ship, is not going to set very well with the men that are in charge of China. Kim had better watch out, because it will not be the US or Japan that is going to 'knock' some sense into him.. it is going to be China. And he is not going to be able to duck that one very easily.
