How does North Korea benefit?
Strange that so many people who defend China here at Free Republic have nothing on their personal page.
They get to sell their lithium?
The dead don’t benefit much.
The goal of the NORKs is to be acknowledged as a “great power” & to extort whatever the regime needs from rest of the world to stay afloat. There will only be war if NORKs miscalculate. China benefits more from the status quo then anything else.
