I think Chia Head could turn up tension and count on China to lean on S. Korea to back down. That is the game he wants to play now, in my opinion.

However, this time around, it is not so easy for S. Korea to back down. This thing is not over. I think tension will remain until the end of this year. I expect that Chia Head would cap this with another nuclear test. This time it could be big and convincing enough.

“This time it could be big and convincing enough.”

Big and convincing enough to demonstrate a credible nuclear deterrent? Or big and convincing enough to force a S. Korean response?
