Thereby presenting the immediate question: is there a destabilizing nuclear rogue that China isn't trying to boost? I was going to say maybe Pakistan but Google News indicates otherwise. So at least they're consistent:

China pledged to strengthen bonds with isolated North Korea... The renewed courting between the two communist neighbors came in messages between Chinese President Hu Jintao and North Korea's top leader, Kim Jong-il, who on Sunday hugged Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at the start of a visit intended to bolster bilateral relations. The messages marked 60 years since the countries established formal ties on October 6, 1949, and did not mention of the North's nuclear weapons program, instead stressing their focus on shoring up ties. "History demonstrates that developing China-North Korea relations is in keeping with the fundamental interests and shared wishes of both countries' people," said the congratulatory message from China, issued by the official Xinhua news agency. "It also benefits protecting regional peace and stability."

In MSM-related news, the Washington Post recently discovered that China has its own interests and that this makes Obama's job hard, which in turn makes him grumpy. But no worries because his tactic of dissing the Dalai Lama as part of a broader and totally useless Asian realism strategy will soon be paying off dividends. No doubt the Chinese are going to hop on board any day now.

We're getting trounced by rising hegemons while the Oval Office's first confirmed beta male is traipsing around the globe giving speeches about his own wonderful wonderfulness. Smart power!
