"Everybody is anticipating a coming climax."

Well, since there is a shortage of about 30 million females in China, I think you're right!

Who'd a thunk it! The N. Korean long China's pet is getting under its owners skin. Are we and the PRC on the same side on this one?

Re #4

Because China fear re-militarized and nuclear Japan, which will happen if N. Korea goes its way.

China will take Kim's toys away if he doesn't play nice.

Just doing the work Americans won't do.

The article is a little confusing.

I think all it is saying is that the CHinese are cultivating a disrespect for NK among their troops in anticipation of annexing parts of of NK after Kim leaves power.

This is about as convenient as the palestinian 'civil war'. Everybody pretty much wins.

some South Korean MPs fear China could grab territory from the north in the event of a collapse.

Some South Korean MPs had their chance to push regime change up north, but instead they decided to feed the DPRK army through their generous handouts.

I'm ready to cede China all of North Korea. They're short of wimmin, heck, Korean ladies make fine wives, though the North Korean women maybe a little out of practice in the kitchen (tree bark Kim-chi, anyone?).

Go for it, China! Hell, I'll even throw in the Primorsky Krai. It'll be theirs in a decade, anyway.

That sums it up very well. China still remembers how devastating the Japanese army was to them back in World War II.

"Are we and the PRC on the same side on this one?"

China is not now, nor will it ever be our Allies. If not for the influx of western money they would be doing the same thing NK is doing now.

Of course with the influx of western money they are just doing it more secretively and with better equipment. Clinton's admins passing of military secrets to the Chinese was then, and is now, treason in my book.

Re #15

Ordinary Chinese and rank and file PLA troops are not crazy about N. Korea for some time.

A few years ago, Chicom had a contingency plan in case everything goes south.

It could include annexation of N. Korea as a whole or its part.

What do you think that U.S. and China are haggling about behind closed doors? The price for China to let Kim Jong-il regime go down.
