China will never let North Korea destabilize that region and give us an excuse to increase our presence there.

The real worry if you ask me is their asymmetrical warfare capability. It's probably the largest in the world and would be difficult to contain.

I disagree, I think China would like nothing more, then for the NK's to invade the south.

Just think about it?

Why would China want a situation that draws us, their biggest debtors, into a financially draining conflict on their side of the world?

Really?

Exactly, and Taiwan would go a long way to perserving that.

They will make a trade, Taiwan, for south korea, they would love nothing more.

No. The rest of the world would be outraged. It isn't worth it to them to have their biggest debtor in a position to fall into greater financial crisis AND to increase their influence and positioning at their doorstep.

China ain't ever gonna let it happen.

The rest of the world would be outraged, but that is about all they could muster. Like I said, they would not do this unless certain things happen, and I believe that this war would be all they would need to act. The U.S is in hock to China, we depend on them for imports, we are really in a bad place, as the only country that could possibly even take them on!

Which is exactly why they will never put us in that position.
 
China wants stability. They don't want North Korea imploding and them dealing with the refugees. The ROK and US don't either. However, if the cat gets out of the bag and NK attacks, I doubt that China will do much. Sure they want a stable Korean situation, but I doubt that they want war with the US. It would be a Catch 22 for them
 
I'm thinking this will lead to exactly nothing until one side or the other teaches their Navy to shoot straight and there are some real casualties to prompt and escalation of some kind on one side or the other.
