Another Earth Shattering Ka-Boom

Looks like North Korea is up to it again. First a couple of atomic bombs, next a failed missile launch and now this. From Reuters:
Exclusive: North Korea's nuclear test ready "soon"
North Korea has almost completed preparations for a third nuclear test, a senior source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing told Reuters, which will draw further international condemnation following a failed rocket launch if it goes ahead.

The isolated and impoverished state sacrificed the chance of closer ties with the United States when it launched the long-range rocket on April 13 and was censured by the U.N. Security Council, including the North's sole major ally, China.

Critics say the rocket launch was aimed at honing the North's ability to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the United States, a move that would dramatically increase its military and diplomatic heft.

Now the North appears to be about to carry out a third nuclear test after two in 2006 and 2009.
I find it hard to understand why China still supports this nation. A more perfect example of the end result of Communism and large-government central planning cannot be found. The 1% live very well while the other 99% are eating grass to survive. The braying ninnys in the OWS 'movement' have not a clue what they are talking about...
