North Korea Threatens War Against Japan if it shoots down missile

If anyone is going to shoot down the North Korean missile I think it'll be the Japanese. But as every day passes I get a feeling that no one will shoot it down.

Hypothetically speaking, if Japan does shoot down the missile and North Korea goes to war with Japan, will China enter the fight and who's side would they be on...hmmmm? Bloomberg

March 31 (Bloomberg) -- North Korea’s government vowed to wage war against Japan if Japanese defense forces try to shoot down a missile that the communist nation says will carry a communications satellite.

“Should Japan dare recklessly to intercept the DPRK’s satellite, its army will consider this as the start of Japan’s war of reinvasion more than six decades after the Second World War,” the official Korean Central News Agency said today in an e-mailed statement. North Korea is also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada ordered his forces on March 27 to shoot down any North Korean object entering his country’s airspace and deployed guided-missile units around Tokyo. Japan, along with the U.S., China, South Korea and Russia want to forestall North Korea’s plans to launch what the government in Pyongyang calls a “peaceful” satellite, and refocus on joint efforts to end its nuclear program.
