China could stop it tomorrow, but not with our current president in power. They do honestly fear the wave of refugees, but they can go to hell for enabling it.

Don't forget that China has starving population also. They are constantly dealing with violent unrest and probably do not want another flood of hungry people streaming to their country for bowls of rice.

We forget that America is generally a land of plenty, even for the poorest among us. China probably does not want to invest one soldiers life in anything going on in NK as long as the problems stay there. They are looking at this latest escalation and imagining the conflict dragging them into it and costing them more than they can afford.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree. Chinese demographics also do not bode well for stability in the next 20 years either. The population pyramid is inverting.

The average "citizen" of most countries would love the lifestyle and opportunities of America's "Poor."

“China probably does not want to invest one soldiers life in anything going on in NK”

They would happily invest one soldier’s life. But not $20.

They do not think like we do.
