Boundary line drawn over N Korea nuke issue (China will not allow US to attack N Korea)
Global Times ^ | 4/18/17 | Unnamed Chinese Communist

Posted on 04/17/2017 5:39:24 PM PDT by ifinnegan

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.

The above excerpt is the key excerpt.

Global Times is a Chinese Communist mouthpiece. It puts out their views and policies, threats and plans etc...

The entire editorial takes the tack that the US and China are cooperating on the issue, but the above paragraph is key and directly reflects the title of the editorial, "Boundary line drawn over N Korea nuke issue".

The boundary line is "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".

Can't be more clear.

This paragraph also spells it out.

However, cooperative efforts by China and the US will under no circumstance evolve into any kind of military action against North Korea. Beijing will never support or cooperate with Washington when it comes to implementing solutions that involve using military force against Pyongyang. Nor will Beijing support increasing measures from Washington that involve the direct overthrow of the Pyongyang regime.

Oddly unmentioned: South Korea wants unification.

Won’t happen with China intervening.

The Chinese government needs to pull it’s head out, and come to grips with the reality the United States will not sit idly by and watch North Korea reach the level it can blackmail the U.S., Japan, and other U.S. interests with nuclear weapons.

If the stone age is where China wants to return to, it can be accommodated.

We don’t have to keep propping up the Collective.

We can make stuff at home, and we can abandon China to fall in on itself.

No. We are not the ones getting played here. Fat Boy is. The Chinese are going to pull the rug out from under him at the appropriate time. It’ just not time yet.

Yes. I agree.

But, if Norko goes down, so does ChiCom regime.

I don’t think Xi Jinping is strong enough or right-thinking enough to see that through.

This will be interesting to watch.

This is an instance where I’m not sure being a hawk will achieve much, but the sad reality is that we cannot let North Korea perfect nuclear weapons and the delivery systems to put them into U.S. or allied territory.

Sooner or later, we have to confront this situation, and it doesn’t get any easier from here.

We have no grand design on North Korean territory. China can get Kim under control, or we may simply face reality now.

Not sure when China came up with it’s last five year plan. I doubt it wants to fit nuclear war with the U.S. into that plan.

I don’t pretend to know if he can survive or not.

The nation would be in a world of hurt if we took our hundreds of billions of dollars in trade away.

I think China knows it too.

Kim is on the menu.

A lot of American blood was spilled there too while we were spilling Chicom blood.

Technically, a state of war still exists between the UN and North Korea.The US is the UN's designated custodian of the cease fire and the ongoing negotiations.

Either side could resume hostilities at any time by ending negotiations, but the side that did would suffer the negative public relations of doing so.

So, if President Trump is willing to suffer some negative press reports, he could just wipe North Korea off the map.

Screw China. If NK goes totally nuke they will invade South Korea and will nuke Japan. Those two countries better be thinking that what China is suggesting is their destruction. And that is not to mention that NK will assist directly Iran in getting their nukes and methods to deliver. The US has only one course, destroy NK now! And this BS that NK will not destroy all it can the sorrowing countries, they will. China is stupid in not allowing NK total destruction.
