SEOUL'S LIVE-FIRE DRILL PASSES WITHOUT INCIDENT


China Confidential instant analysis and forecast:

  • Seeking to avoid a full-blown war in Korea, China managed to control its wholly dependent vassal.
  • North Korea will probably retaliate in time, with new provocations and/or new nuclear and missile tests.
  • The Obama administration's tough stance--standing by America's South Korean ally and its decision to go ahead with the live-fire drill--will give the administration political cover to continue to try to engage and enter into a Grand Bargain with Iran.
  • If North Korea refrains from actually attacking South Korean targets, it could be a sign that the United States and China have quietly reached some understandings regarding the Middle East--meaning Iran--and Taiwan. Pay attention to the term Grand Bargain. Conceptually, Obama is receptive to it with respect to both Iran and China, which means that Israel and Taiwan could be in for some tough sledding this winter.
