China will lie to U.S. ally on a matter of war

US going to war or sending its ally to war over the ship accident will be a mistake of equal proportions to attacking Iraq in 2003. Obama is ten times more balanced minded than his predecessor and cool thinking should prevail. :D :cool: :p

That faction became Taiwan, which is still a US ally.

During the cold war, mainland China was also an American ally, culminating in Nixon's historical visit. Mao always perceived the USSR as a greater threat and declassified data shows the USSR actually had far greater military plans for strikes against china than the USA. The result was the formation of a tacit strategic anti-Soviet alliance between China and the United States.

Henry Kinsinger said something like, Western world got more communists (Chinese) than the USSR block. :D History is full of irony, that is why it is called High-story (hi-story).:D

if south korea cannot convince its own people, how can it convince China to take its side?

I agree. It's more likely than not a mine and not a torpedo attack
