Description

A plastic bottle with a rocket on top jiggles around alarmingly and lets out puffs of some volatile explosive material. The bottle has a label showing the face of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. In a second frame the Chinese leader President Hu Jintao grins as he walks off describing the bottle as an 'incredible product... acts without provocation, destroys innocent civilians, does all by self...' Refers to the increasing threat from North Korea. The U.S. has been closing ranks with Japan and South Korea as it presses China, North Korea's main source of trade and aid, to play a bigger role in helping stave off military escalation on the Korean peninsula. Tensions have heightened after the North shelled a South Korean island on Nov 23, killing four people, including two civilians.
