Q: North Korea holds successful H-bomb test near to Jilin boundary.
What are the implications globally?
Those that still don't believe that NK has nuclear capability must think that the "artificial earthquake" was caused by Fatty Kim jumping out of bed. 
Scandinavian:
it isn't rocket science to build a nuclear bomb, it is rocket science to build a rocket to deliver it to its recipient.
Globally? Read comments on this thread:

Most experts believe it was a "reinforced nuclear weapon" and not a true H-bomb. It's the atomic bomb version 1.5 now with the added goodness of boosted fission (only about 7 kiloton but it's not the size that counts but what you do with it). This means that they can have a smaller warhead with the same amount of bang for your buck, which makes delivery easier. This is handy considering the Taepodong 2 isn't the Rolls Royce of ballistic missiles. Scandinavian is right about the difficult part being the delivery, with the detonation being important, although secondary to an accurate delivery.
Implications? Not much really. Gives Kim a little bit more leverage when it comes to squeezing more goodies/concessions at the negotiating table. Perhaps more sanctions against North Korea. If Kim ever motioned to fire anything off Pyongyang would get lit up like a Christmas tree before his finger left the button.

Kim isn't alone, and N. Horea is peon, which can be used many ways. See alliance Russia, China, Iran ........ against whoever would turn Kim into powder, before he hits the right button.
On history side, both WWs started with some mediocre country's action.
thank you jimmy carter while negotiating for bill clinton gave nuclear technology to north korea for peaceful energy production with a pinky swear that it would not be used for making weapons, another liberal fool sucker, screwing the world and allowing more tyranny, but but our intentions were good, your just a mean conservative neocon, no jimmy i am much worse than that. when i get to he*l i will look you up.

Saturday Humor:
With North and South Korea "on the brink of war" following Pyongyang's "successful" H-bomb test and the resumption of anti-Kim propaganda broadcasts across the DMZ, the young Supreme Leader is keen on demonstrating his country's military prowess.
Below, find a video which purports to show a fedora-donning Kim watching a North Korean submarine launch a missile. To truly appreciate why this may be the most epic 28-second clip ever recorded, make sure to watch it with the sound turned up.

It wasn't an H bomb and China said it was cause they support NK and they are evil.
