“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?

I was having the former in mind. However, it would also spur S. Korea to do something about it. Not military strike but develop its own long-range missile and probably nuke down the road.

People are getting tired of BS from NK and China. Few S. Koreans would pin hope on China's cooperation from now on. Most of them gave up. I am sure some in gov and big corporations would like to apologize for China, and they do have power. However, it can't stop the grassroot sentiment once it gets rolling.
