The saber rattling of North Korea is unprecedented.

China is talking about the posturing of South Korea. I don't believe China is relaxed about any of the activity on the Korean Peninsula. At some point in time, there is a stake China and Russia has regarding the 'peace' in the REGION.

So, the REGION is on alert. I am quite confident the five nuclear powers are more than running drills. France is engaged in North Africa with it's forces, too.

Park Geun-hye instructed military to strongly respond to possible provocations by the DPRK. 

That is new for the peninsula and REGION.

DPRK threatened on Saturday to shut down a joint industrial park with South Korea.

That is new.

Park Geun-hye instructed the military to secure safety of workers at the point industrial park. 

Oh.

...On Saturday, Pyongyang (click here) warned that if South Korea continues to insult its northern neighbor's dignity, it will shut down their joint industrial park located in the DPRK's border city of Kaesong. The announcement came just hours after the DPRK said it had entered "a state of war" against South Korea, which once again escalated tensions on the Koran Peninsula after Pyongyang conducted its third nuclear test on Feb. 12....

I remind North Korea is at war and has been for some time. The borders of North Korea has changed since the new leader has taken over. The borders of North Korea expanded causing the evacuation of an island.

There are lots of reasons for China and Russia to reassess. We do have a new treaty with Russia, but, the USA is still considering parking Star Wars (a stupid technology that increases nuclear proliferation) at the Russian border. Believe me they are looking at North Korea and it's tested patience with the USA.
