My question is as follows:

Would instability in the DPRK serve as an excuse for the PRC to "establish order"? Just a paranoid question, folks.

Not paranoid at all. The unseen hands there are either China and or the US.

My thought exactly. I told my friends weeks ago to start looking for signs of a made-in-China replacement regime. The Chinese did it to Kim Il Sung in 1951 (though he got rid of his replacement after the Korean War ended), and the Chinese have potent reasons for putting in their own puppet regime again now.

Nork civilians are ripping up railroad rails, ties, the electric cables which power the trains, etc., in areas where train service has ceased, and selling the stuff as scrap so they can buy food which ain't comin' their way by train no more.

This does look like North Korea's last winter unless the Chinese do a repeat within 6-9 months of what they did in 1951.
