North Korean Hijacking

Well the north has turned its attention to China, although this time is it armed north Koreans who hijacked a Chinese fishing boat and are demanding a ranson of almost $200,000 USD for their release.

Kim Jong-Un is denying involvement but I wonder if he'll return the ransom should it be paid?

The Chinese are often arrested fishing illegally in south Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam so this isn't really that surprising. Still, the Chinese are mad over their recent rocket launch and will not appreciate this. Apparently the idea of not biting the hand that feeds has not reached the north yet.
