| Chinese President Xi is, again, dealing with the crisis while in the middle of hosting an international summit
In the small Chinese city of Yanji, the ground was moving. This Korean-speaking region sits on the border with North Korea and soon local bloggers were posting images on social media of things shaking.
What they could not have known was that this earthquake was man-made.
Not far away, the government in Pyongyang was soon declaring the successful test of a hydrogen bomb - its most powerful to date.
The timing was a clear slap in the face for Beijing.
"Just hours after the underground nuclear test, President Xi Jinping was due to make a speech as the head of state for the nation hosting the Brics summit, which would welcome delegates from Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa to Xiamen." . . .
