I disagree. South Korea does not want China on its China on its territory. Too many memories of its treatment as a satellite of China.
Give the leadership an offer of asylum, if they leave peacefully and allow a transition leadership to open up North Korea.
Good evening.
Of course I didn’t read the whole article, but bottom line is that President Xi is responsible for his puppet.
That’s the way I see it.

Maybe start by repatriating those Americans in their work camps as a start.
“Deals” with North Korea are how we ended up where we are today.
North Korea has no cards to play in this game now, and in reality neither does China. If China loses its ability to sell their crap here, their economy tanks overnight, and their middle class begins real resistance.
Time for Fat Boy to lose face.
Or die.
I think the 3 carrier groups heading over there now and their latest missile blowing up on the launchpad might have something to do with a solution.
Well i think you needt to bundle fatboy in to the deal
Give the power that be in North Korea that both their nuclear program and fatboy is the problem get rid of both and North Korea is welcome back into the world community
The “fake because” in Scott Adams words is in makes fatboy the problem that causes North Korea to be isolated. That that give the military in north Korea the cover to be the good guys to save the motherland
China can pull that off ... the Communists party in North Korea can see that China’s “capitalist/communist” is their path to prosperity. That North Korea’s current “Cult of dear leader Personality” stalinism on steroids is a dead end
It is more important to make a deal with China than with NK.
We could supply China with a good and clean form of energy(LNG) that would also eliminate China’s air pollution problem, thereby entering into a mutually beneficial treaty with the most populous country in the world.
It will be a win-win for either nation. Economic growth will be bigly and long-term.
Not sure I’d want a collection of Red Chinese lining the only land border of my country, but replace them with Elbonians, and we might have a deal!
There is no deal for NK, while Fat boy is still in power. A deal implies that both sides get something out of it. Fat boy gets zero concessions. Any deals will be after a new government in NK is formed, Fat Boy is ousted, and all nukes and related materials have been confiscated.
Alternative:
Let it be known to all North Korean military officers ranked colonel or below, that if they liquidate Kim Jung-un and his entire family and all general officers, establish a Chinese type system, denuclearize, and somewhat demilitarize, that we will give each of them $1 million real US dollars, a wild party in Bangkok or Okinawa, and rice for life.
Either they will go for it immediately, or Kim will have to kill them all.
The only way to bring lasting peace to the Korean peninsula is to convince China that they will be held accountable for anything their client does. Appeals to the Dean Acheson/April Glaspie paradigm have had disastrous consequences in the past and if followed, will again. Mr. Adams doesn't seem to understand this.
Whatever we do, don’t get stuck with rebuilding North Korea.
“I’m about to suggest a somewhat impractical idea...”
Actually, there’s a name for this. It’s called an ‘intermediate impossibility’ in brainstorming and is quite helpful in finding solutions to difficult problems.
Give North Korea to China in exchange for Taiwan....Deal, deal!

What South Korean government is going to be stupid enough to allow Chinese troops to occupy part of their country? Including the outskirts of their capitol? Would we agree to allow Cuba to occupy the north side of the Rio Grande to reduce tensions with Mexico? Idiocy.
