China in a Pickle

Poor China is caught in the middle of this spat between the U.S. and Korea.

After years of trying to find middle ground between the United States and North Korea, China now finds itself in a difficult diplomatic position...

What if China had a birthday party. Who should she invite? If she invites both of them, The U.S and North Korea might get into a fight. If she only invites North Korea, then the U.S. gets mad, and if she only invites the U.S., then North Korea gets mad.

So, the obvious solution is for China to not invite either one of them, and say that her mommy would only let her invite 7 other countries.
