China has refused to condemn the North Korean  action. But today Beijing appeared to bow to US pressure to help bring  about a diplomatic solution, calling for &#8220;emergency consultations&#8221; and  inviting a senior North Korean official to Beijing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The leaked North Korea dispatches detail how:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a title=\"More from guardian.co.uk on South Korea\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/south-korea\">South Korea<\/a>&#8216;s  vice-foreign minister said he was told by two named senior Chinese  officials that they believed Korea should be reunified under Seoul&#8217;s  control, and that this view was gaining ground with the leadership in  Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 China&#8217;s vice-foreign minister told US officials that  Pyongyang was behaving like a &#8220;spoiled child&#8221; to get Washington&#8217;s  attention in April 2009 by carrying out missile tests.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 A Chinese ambassador warned that North Korean nuclear activity was &#8220;a threat to the whole world&#8217;s security&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2010\/nov\/29\/wikileaks-cables-china-reunified-korea\">http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2010\/nov\/29\/wikileaks-cables-china-reunified-korea<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This, if China stays on that path, will be great news for the suffering millions in North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>But it is unclear what China will do at this juncture.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that North Korea is increasingly becoming more and more isolated from the world with few allies other than Iran and China (though others trade with it).\u00a0 Most of the common people in North Korea are suffering from food and other shortages, and reunification with South Korea would likely greatly improve the standard of living for those in North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully a peaceful reunification will come soon.\u00a0 And hopefully the Wikileaks matter will not slow the Chinese resolve to do something about North Korea down (or reverse its course).<\/p>\n<p>Because of scriptures, such as the one in Revelation about the &#8220;kings of the sunrise&#8221;, I have felt that it was likely that North and South Korea would re-unify (or at least begin to cooperate more) prior to the return of Christ.\u00a0 If China stops supporting North Korea, this could be what is needed for that type of re-unification.<\/p>\n<p><em>Two articles of possibly related interest may include the     following:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/korea-in-prophecy.htm\">Korea in     Prophecy, Any Witness?<\/a> Does God have a plan for the Koreans?
