In the wake of North Korea's recent testing of its nuclear arsenal, officials in Seoul, South Korea have urged that China punish North Korea for these actions. Tensions have been rising in the Korean peninsula following this obvious show by North Korea of their capabilities.
North Korea has always been known to be an unstable and extremely dangerous country, especially in recent years with the extremely young and childish Kim Jong-un as their leader, but this recent development has crossed the line, even for them. Beyond the obvious stupidity of North Korea showing off their arsenal to the rest of the world, it has also caused the alienation of one of North Korea's only allies, China. This will also probably cause Kim Jong-un to become even more unstable. Really not the best.

Hope the U.N calls for heavier sanctions. Even China has to cooperate when sanctions are enforced- and they get it too. I'm sure they don't like what North Korea is doing either, but I can see why they have little choice but to support that country. If their support stopped millions of impoverished refugees would flee to China. Many many times worse than the Syrian refugee crises.
