I think the best possible solution is to divvy up the North into four zones, like we did Germany: China, Russia, the US and South Korea each get a sector.
Reunification really won’t be feasible for a generation because of the brainwashing and inability for the North Koreans to integrate with the South.
China and South Korea are really close. Many Chinese bigwigs send their kids to school in Seoul.
Still stinks though. Any serious Chinese presence in NK would result in a slow takeover of the South as well, IMO.
“China, Russia, the US and South Korea each get a sector.”
That would be the wrong move. China and Russia don’t get squat because they removed the massive boil from their arses. South Korea controls the North, but not open border until at least a generation.
