My bet is that China's business sense will throw Kim to the wolves. He could become very expensive.

That is the whole point. Make it intolerably expensive to keep Kim. If the price is tolerable, China would continue to do so.

NK had best not get in the way of both their business interests AND their economic war expansionism.

- China being China, my bet is that they will back a palace coup sometime soon and replace Kim Jong Il with a Beijing puppet. The only condition that Beijing will place on the puppet for their support is that he drops the weapons program.
Is everybody happy? You bet.

NK does and says nothing without the PRC's approval.
