I’m just wondering if China finds value in North Korea, because they can try out strategy on real Western targets without repercussion.
“I’m just wondering if China finds value in North Korea, because they can try out strategy on real Western targets without repercussion.”
I have long suspected that exact thought. Across multiple arenas.
China has already proven they can take out our sattelites.
What happens if they decide to do so?
Building their own Aircraft Carrier, spending money on their military, eyes on Taiwan, using our money for their products to build up their offensive capabilities.
Perhaps testing their own equipment in N. Korea.
Nah. China learned from W that they can force our planes down and we won't hold a grudge. Gotta keep that "FREE" trade going for da boys on da board ya know.
China leverages North Korea against us, and plays a “fake” role as arbitrator between us and them, where they in reality simply carve out some advantage for themselves but have no genuine interests.
For China, North Korea is a giant crow bar.
SOP, for us as well as them. Every move makes us smarter too. Let’s not pretend the Reds are that good.
I’m still wondering why the cover-up of an obvious MISSILE launch off the west coast a few months ago.. China?

In a word, YES.
The Norkies don’t make a MOVE without their masters in Beijing first yanking their chain. They are China’s pet. The Chinese were probably there, taking notes, watching how their little pet’s weapon performed.
