This is the reason countries want nuclear weapons. If you have them, people will pretty much leave you alone unless you make it impossible to do so. Plus, everybody trusts China to keep North Korea on a tight leash.

Thanks to their efforts, the Americans have never been as popular in Asia as they are now.

North Korea only has what little energy it does because the Chinese give it to them, and China can turn off the faucet at any time. The Chinese veto over North Korean policy is absolute, they entirely subsidize the regime there.

I'll still take China over US/NATO since 2001 in terms of self-sabotage and foreign policy debacles.

Maybe.........

But perhaps not.........

I don't think that China really wants to deal with the mess they have allowed North Korea to become........

I suspect that they may dread the wave of refugees that would try to pour into China and South Korea if the regime collapsed....... Say there was an inconclusive coup against the Kim Ill Devils or by one faction of the Kim Il Devils against the one in power.......

IMVHO the Norks can get away with quite a bit...........

Shaking up Chinese Schools with Nuke Tests..........

And murdering half Chinese infants because of 'racial impurity'........

Imagine the howls of racism if something like that happened in Uz........
