China will probably condemn any countries taking action against Iraq with or without the U.N. s approval. China and Russia both let their level of assistance to North Korea falter, and South Korea decided to help the starving North Koreans. China resented North Korea s acceptance of western support and dropped some of their aid. China has been concerned with North Korea lately. It would prefer North Korea not upset other countries with its actions.
China also opposes the invasion of South Korea by North Korea.
If an invasion were to take place, it would put China in the position of having to either support or condemn North Korea for its actions. China does not want a role in the affairs of this insignificant country because it does not want to be looked down upon by the UN for choosing sides. China views Sudan as nonessential. There are little interests concerning China. Therefore, the concern for the Sudan is minimal.
