After warnings yesterday, and on the heels of a "very good call" with President Trump, China has escalated its threats to North Korea over its nuclear tests. In another Global Times op-ed, China warns "if the North makes another provocative move this month, the Chinese society will be willing to adopt severe restrictive measures that have never been seen before..."
Yesterday's editorial in the military-focused Global Times tabloid, owned and operated by the Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper, said that North Korea’s nuclear activities must not jeopardize northeastern China, and that if the North impacts China with its illicit nuclear tests through either "nuclear leakage or pollution", then China will respond with force.

Ping...
The world responds to strength, and exploits weakness.
Ruh-Roh!
Someone’s getting ronery!.................
China invades NK and annexes the territory. What would the US and SK do?
The Chinese have increased their troops on the NK border by another 25,000.
China is at least rational. They would probably agree to withdraw or allow South Korea joint administration of the North, in exchange for US troops leaving the Peninsula.
Stay out of it...like President Trump says...America First...NK is a treat to America and Her Allies...
China is there, they can handle this, besides we have the battleships there to back them up if needed...
GO.PRESIDENT TRUMP.GO!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
End the Korean War by accepting defeat
Open up the borders between the NK and SK and let the free market convince the NK’s which way to go with Burger King, McDonalds and good pizza.
Then, Amazon can use drones to deliver orders to the formerly NKs.
Next, KIA will allow zero down and 48 month leases with no interest on their vehicles to the former NKs.
Thank you Donald Trump.
“China invades NK and annexes the territory. What would the US and SK do?”
Regionally, this is China’s problem to fix.
Same as if Mexico was a bad actor it would be the US problem to fix. (which we may see happen)
China deciding to turn on the weed spray???
Must have been one hell of a conversation between President Trump and Xi. As has been said before it looks like in the least it is a psy-ops against the little man in North Korea.
China wants a solution that allows them to save face.
And that’s how Trump rolls, it’s not about getting 100% of what you want, it’s about getting a deal that makes both sides happy.
“What would the US and SK do?”
Probably applaud because that would be one less megalomaniac for the world to be blackmailed by.
Even on the most generous terms, the Norks can't afford it. Whoever swallows NoKor will find it difficult to digest. The place is an economic and social disaster area.
Nothing. The world will be better off. Korea will never be unified as SK could never afford the cost.
IMHO, it needs to be divided up, like Germany, after WWII. China, Russia, the US and South Korea each get a Sector to administer. It will take at least a generation until reunification is feasible.
