Someone else recommended "Formosa Betrayed." Maybe I should put it in the Netflix queue.

When we click on "are pissed off at 'US imperialists' again" – the second link under China – we find that, in the opinion of northxkorea:
The Cheonan incident — along with a very nicely played hand by both South Korean President Lee Myung Bak and U.S. President Barak Obama, has single-handledly demonstrated how incapable the Chinese were of controlling North Korea. The incident as mentioned in earlier postings has strengthened the U.S-South Korea alliance, US-Japan alliance, and encouraged better bilateral ties between Japan and South Korea. Furthermore and perhaps most importantly, it has shown the world how little leverage Communist China has over a country that she is basically keeping on life support — not to mention how much resentment this must breed amongst North Koreans.

"A good debunking of the Korean 3/26 conspiracy theorists."
Out of curiosity, can anyone name any of the "foreign experts" that investigated the Cheonan sinking?
Their names and qualifications have been rather conspicuously absent.
