I agree, Donald Trump would be crazy to make his comments unless an understanding had been reached with China
Don't worry China is going gang busters with their capitalist enterprises
They want Jong un banging on with his Nuclear aspirations like they want a hole in the head
The secret agenda may be that Donald Trump will take care of North Korea whilst China takes a powder
Have you notice that China has been silent as a tomb through all this
China has over 200,000 troops on the border with NK.
They are there to invade if given the order.
Actually China might want this -
some extra free territory for China & with the blessing of the USA.
Everybody wins - even the NK people
as they live under a tyranny.
I do not think the Chinese even want to think about war in North Korea. It is a very poor country, the agriculture infrastructure was largely destroyed during the last Korean war, and still not recovered after decades of sanctions. There are alot of starving people who will turn into refugees. If you think the Syrian migrant crisis in Europe is big, then this is another matter.
We are looking at literally millions of refugees without food, or shelter. The 200k or so troops on the boarder would be barely enough to keep order. How would China hope to feed all these people? And this is one end of the boarder. On the other side, people will stream into South Korea - probably not across the land, but cross the sea to South Korea. That is going to have an enormous economic and social impact on South Korea. And Japan will not be spared either. So all of sudden, you have China, Korea, Japan all going down at the same time. The world economy will suffer, in particular Australia would be finished.
You're wrong.
The population of NK is a drop in the bucket compared to
the population of China.
China would love to have some more territory.
I believe what you are saying is not realistic.
The population of NK is still 25 million +. And that means 25 million hungry and poor to feed. China is a third world country, significant amount of its population are still under poverty. Pollution, land erosion, deficit in agriculture are real problems. And not to mention, there is very limited infrastructure in North Korea.
Second, you failed to understand that there is significant differences between Chinese and Korean. The Chinese had throughout history tried to invade and occupy Korea, but all failed.
Third, what about South Korea. Despite the differences, South Korea still consider North Koreans Koreans. And hope one day that their country will be whole again. They are NOT going to sit back, and let other foreign powers - USA + China to make a deal behind their back, and give North Korea to China. This is just simple absurd.
Fourthly, it is the US policy to contain China. Giving away North Korea will have serious - very serious implications on the securities for both Japan and South Korea. Even now, North Korea have the capability to bomb Guam. Imagine if the Chinese takes over North Korea, what can they do to Guam?
Lets just say, it wont happen.
