Cool heads needed on heated Korean Peninsula A s a TV host, I always try to meet with my audience, young or old, Chinese or not. Meeting with a group of young students from Peking University over the weekend, I was surprised that they were eager to discuss the Cheonan, the sunken South Korean warship. Among them was the 20-something Lee, a South Korean student at wow power leveling, Peking University. Looking like a South Korean version of Harry Potter, he was described by his Chinese friends as an extremely quiet guy. But he was wow power leveling anything but quiet about the Cheonan incident. He offered up all the news he'd heard, and also volunteered to offer detailed analy-sis as to whether North Korea was really responsible, as the South Korea-led investigation claimed, and, with a solemn face, gave his prediction of the possibility of a war on the Korean Peninsula. It was only later that I found out from his aion kinah, Chinese friends that in a few weeks, he would have to go back home to join the military, a duty for any South Korean man his age. It's easy for us to take peace for aion kinah granted until a challenge emerges. I still remember today the stories told by my Big Uncle Huang, a distant relative of my family from Northeast China. He served as a member of the People's Volunteer Army from China during the Korean War (1950-53), responsible for logistics and transportation. With bombs dropping everywhere near him and his comrades-in-arms, he risked his life to do his duty. But he also confessed decades later to me, then a very small girl who was fascinated by his wartime stories, that he wanted to survive for one simple reason, to go back home to see his mother. Big Uncle Huang passed away a few years ago, but a photo of him as a handsome young soldier in the People's Volunteer Army is wedding dresses, still in my family album today. I remember a young man's constant fear, and an old man's unforgettable nightmare. Everyone hopes for peace, but it's wedding dresses only possible when day to day work is being handled properly. While we are cheap aion kinah, obsessed with the Cheonan incident, we should remember how things have reached where they are today. Tensions have been high for some time. For instance, an exchange of fire on November 9, 2009 over naval borders marked the culmination of a fierce war of words. Over the years, China has cheap aion kinah been criticized by many in the West and even in Asia for engaging with North Korea. There were also cynical editorials commenting on the Chinese leadership's warm hosting of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il when Kim visited the country early this May. Criticism has now been replaced by enormous pressure on China to take a firm line on the Cheonan incident as if it was not a matter between North and South Korea, but China's sole responsibility. Some openly express their maple story mesos, wish for China to criticize North Korea. They are also busy pushing for the UN Security Council to punish Pyongyang. They expect China, the only one nation still directly engaged with North Korea, to leave, so that North Korea would be further isolated. But China knows better than that. The country is maple story mesos the host of the Six-Party Talks, who painstakingly tried to keep everybody on board despite the constant diplomatic dramas among the six nations. And as a neighbor of the Koreas, China wants to see peace in this region. China understands too well the importance of being sophisticated when facing crises and maintaining a long-term vision, rather than submitting to short-term political assaults. By keeping a door open to North Korea, China is making a substantial contribution to regional stability and peace. But others also have extremely important roles to play. To guarantee peace in the Korean Peninsula, they'd better shoulder their responsibilities despite complicated domestic politics, whether the June local election in South Korea or the mid-term elections in the US. At a critical moment for peace on the Korean Peninsula, we must look back at the horrific wars that should urge us to work for peace. Our best wishes for Lee to cabal alz, smoothly fill his military duty back at cabal alz home in South Korea, and for many other East Asian young men and women in a time of peace!
