US could target CHINA in revenge for Sony hack: North Korea threatens 'grave consequences'

THE United States may target China to “turn the screw” on North Korea following the vicious cyber attack on Sony, senior intelligence officials have said. A former senior intelligence official said: "Our best response would be to turn the screws on the North Koreans' patrons." China is North Korea’s closest ally and trade partner, with Beijing giving technological firepower to the secretive state.

America has already begun consultations with Japan, China, South Korea and Russia to seek help in reining in North Korea. Japan and South Korea have said they will cooperate. But China has yet to respond and a state-backed Beijing newspaper said The Interview was "not a movie for Hollywood and U.S. society to be proud of. The vicious mocking of Kim is only a result of senseless cultural arrogance," it claimed.
