Defections to China. That's the key to NK.

"Defections to China. That's the key to NK."

If China weren't our enemy, I'd agree with you. The fact is, we're not as far as the average person would like to think from being at war with China. This is not all that unlike the Soviets and the western allies coming into Germany at the end of WWII. You're both fighting a common enemy, but at the end of it, you're right back at each others' throats again.
