Realistically, China today is not the China of yesterday, it's no longer the China of grey uniforms and grey people clutching little red books to their chests and screaming slogans. China is forward thinking, concerned about its place in the world (especially the business world) and they know they got a pig in a poke with Lil Kim. I'm thinking Trump is laying the groundwork with his backing off the trade war, not tagging China as currency manipulators. If he can enter into a Sino-American alliance to create a new NORKLand sans Lil Teapot, he could make it happen.
I'm thinking the clincher would be an offer to help Taiwan return to the fold... What says The Hive? |

Man, what if Trump is able to get rid of Assad and Lil Kim in his first four years???

By reunifying,you mean deposing a US ally it has spent 70 years protecting?
China does not want the ROK on its border. |

You can talk the Chinese into anything, as long as it benefits China....question is, do we want half a Commie puppet state, or a full sized commie puppet state?

I don't want a reunified Korea. In fact, I think most in the South don't want it either. Could you imagine doubling your countries current population with brainwashed poor people? He'll look at Germany today and their are still discrepancies. As far as I am concerned China should sell it to Apple.

*SK CANNOT financially afford reunification with NK *it is a shit sandwich |

View Quote Back during the Korean War the Chinese did not want NK to continue to exist. NK was a client state of the Soviets, who the Red Chinese didn't like. The PRC attempted to make it known to the US that they were 100% okay with the invasion and conquering of North Korea so long as it was only South Korean troops that crossed the 38th. They would consider US troops a threat and would respond. But due to the lack of formal or very good informal communications this was never well conveyed. South Korea has good trade relations with China, and getting better. The Chinese would be 100% fine with a unified Korea under the South's rule. They find the North annoying. They do have issues, defense related, but I bet those would go away if the North did. SK probably wouldn't want, for example, a missile defense system if NK didn't exist anymore. |

The economic burden on SK would be immense. It would make the reunification of Germany look like peanuts, nevermind all the brainwashed insurgents that would probably continue to pop up for years.
Also, after finding out their chief executive was being controlled by a shadowy cabal, do you think the south Koreans need any more drama? Also, "trade" Taiwan for North Korea? What planet are you even from? How do you think we would leverage that and why would we do it if we could? |

Best thing to do is to take our Lil Kim and let the Norks figure out what to do from there. View Quote |

How about a less NORK-y NORK then? Something along the lines of a Hong Kong or Vietnam-style Communo-Capitalism? Seems to be what all the "experts" are talking about.

doubt it.....reunified korea means US troops and bases right up on the chinese border
|

china needs to install a government under its control in DPKR, bring those people back into the fold gradually rather then in one quick shot over night, the culture shock of a reunified ROK to both nork and south would destablize the fuck out of the nation plus china wants a buffer nation.
no reason to have them continue to suffer under the Kims but a reunification under the current conditions spells disaster for everyone involved. |
|
|
It would be a fantastic move for the PRC.
The South Koreans aren't exactly our biggest fans these days. Take away the Nork threat and see how quickly they show us the door. If the Chinese could settle this, they'd look like heroes on the world stage, and the new Korea would fucking love them. |

China doesn't want a reunified Korea
South Korea doesn't want to endure the hit to their economy that reunification would cost. |

View Quote I'm surprised that China isn't appearing to be a larger part of the military solution in the saber rattling and moving of carrier groups.... Not that I agree with any of it, South Korea has had a very generous fifty years to prepare for the day the north attacks.... I don't feel we need to be any part of this shit, |

1. We're not betraying Taiwan
2. China doesn't want a US ally on their border What Trump is doing is laying the groundwork for China to turn Kim into fertilizer so we don't have to deal with his shit any longer. |

Nobody and I mean NOBODY wants to reunify Korea, I have never heard it brought up once, ever. SK, China, and the rest of that part of Asia do not want a reunified Korea for various reasons, economics being one. It would ruin ROK's economy.
I think China is going to have KIJ popped personally and turn NK into a sort of autonomous/puppet state, that's what I would do. Remember when there were reports of the Chinese moving 150k troops to the border? Perhaps, if true, they are preparing to a mass migration, maybe they think something will happen that would make that option attractive. Watch the PBS video I posted, there is decent inside that country, things are going to change. Sooner or later one of those Generals is going to go "Man, this dude whacked one of his grandfather's Generals who has served for 30yrs, guy killed his family member, fuck it" and shoot his ass, or the Chinese are going to get to someone and have him whacked. |

I see zero reason to believe DJT has some secret key to solve the NK problem. NK leadership correctly believes that their nukes are the reason the USA doesn't just do whatever it wants to them. So they're not giving them up.
Maybe he thinks outside the box and agrees to recognize them as a nuclear power and accept that they have nukes, in return for them ratcheting down the crazy? Might as well, pretending they don't have them won't make the nukes go away. |

It would be a hellofa undertaking but it might just work. If you figure X amount of time and X amount of $$$$ it might pay off. It seems better than blowing up structure. I think the problem would be finding something they could make that someone else will buy. Very big project, put them to work. A Second Coming for developers. I wonder if Trump knows anything about development.......

Here's some shocking news OP, no one really wants a unified Korea, except the poor starving people in North Korea.
|

I'm thinking more like a DMZ extended from its present location to the Chinese border.
ChiComs aren't going to be real thrilled about sharing a border with S.Korea |
