Military action against North Korea is not an easy question to answer. If the blow is light, Pyongyang's military power would remain intact, and South Koreans could potentially face a revenge attack of some kind. One can only hope that Washington reaches out to Seoul for a second opinion. If the blow is heavy, the Chinese people will not allow their government to remain passive when the armies of the US and South Korea start a war and try to take down the Pyongyang regime. The Chinese will not let something like that happen, especially on the same land where the Chinese Volunteer Army once fought in the early 1950s. It is a land covered with the blood of Chinese soldiers who bravely fought in the early 1950s. Furthermore, if Pyongyang were to be taken by the allied armies of the US and South Korea, it would dramatically change the geopolitical situation in the Korean Peninsula.

“...won’t allow”? China dictates others’decisions?
Trump has told China to lead, follow or get out of the way. In the end it will likely be a three way action that takes Kimmie out.
China’s holdings of U.S. debt have fallen to about $1.3 trillion from around $3.2 trillion.
Japan is now our biggest Debt holder.
Refusing to pay debt can have very negative impact on bonds or treasuries.
That would probably hurt us also.
I think you’re pretty close to truth there.
I’m not sure how this will turn out, or if China will simply watch.
We’ll see.
The Rothschild/Rockerfeller mem has been out there for a long time.
Folks will have to forgive me for realizing folks like Kim weren’t dreamed up by one/both of these two groups.
Not saying they don’t have their desires and work to see them implemented, but life does happen out of their reach too.
Sooner or later we have to face the nuclear state of North Korea.
Either that or we deal with our nation or our allies being nukes.
We shouldn’t do that.
BTW: I firmly believe we have plans set up much like you mentioned. We should.
I’m not convinced China is in our camp on this.
I will say I have seen some helpful comments, but China is still China and it’s capable of playing games itself. IMO it’s comments were crafted to look good to us, but to not have nearly as much tooth in the bite as we wanted.
They don’t seem to be serious about stopping NK.
We’ll see how it plays out.
My opinion is always morphing with regard to China, as situations and realities drift.
