Chang: When We’re Distracted by the Mid-East, China Supports N. Korea by Default

EXCERPT:

CHANG: "For China, they will continue to be cooperative as long as the U.S. continues to apply pressure to China. When we sort of look someplace else, we become distracted by the Middle East or whatever, then the Chinese are going to go back to their default position which is supporting the North Koreans because you have many people in the military who are supporting their counterparts in the North Korean armed forces."
