Perhaps the deal is going to be put into place.
China cooperates to get rid of Kim, and the US promises to pull out of Korea once that’s done.
Then the reunified Korea probably gets pulled into China’s Sphere of Influence. But at least they were be rid of the Norks.
“reunified Korea probably gets pulled into China’s Sphere of Influence.”
That would be bad, very bad. But I don’t think it is likely.
Trump is hopefully negotiating from the position of strength (do this or face consequences) rather than making China happy by un-doing the Korean War.
They would be infinitely better off as a Chinese province.................
