I think they say they don't like it, but I don't think they really mind. I also don't think it really hurt China 'internationally'. They're doing jus' fine. If anything they've been gaining diplomatic clout by appearing to be with the US/Russia/Europe on this thing rather than not cooperating. Notice that China is the one resisting the possible military intervention Japan is calling for.

I think this incident suits China. Less people looking at China = good. In the late 90's we were all 'but what about human rights!', now we're all 'but what about North Korea!'. Good turn of events for China. My opinion anyway.
