Among the members of the Six Party talks, reaction to the bold move by Pyongyang was particularly sharp:

â?¢ Russian President Vladimir Putin said "enormous damage has been done to the process of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the world."

â?¢ China, the North's closest ally, said that Beijing "resolutely opposes" the North Korean nuclear test and hopes Pyongyang will return to disarmament talks.

â?¢ Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in Seoul for a summit meeting, said the region will be entering "a new, dangerous nuclear age" and North Korea "will be held responsible for the situation it has created."

â?¢ South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun said the test would make it difficult for Seoul to maintain its engagement policy with its communist neighbor.

I wonder how China is going to react to this kind of bitch slap? They supply N. Korea with power, funding, etc........ They requested that N.Korea refrain from this.

LOL....the least of N. Koreas worries at the present is the U.S. and the evil G.W..

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
