This is an issue about the possibility of expensive refugees streaming across the border from DPRK into China if the DPRK was attacked. China knows this and it is my guess that that is more than likely one of the main leverage points used by Trump to get China to pull in the reins on the DPRK.

Not just flooding China but S. Korea as well....it takes about 5 yrs. for the defectors to adjust simply to the basics. The pace of the souths lifestyle in work and home is much much faster.It's a shock to step into that.

It's been decades now from when reconciliation would have worked...but now even their accents and language have marked differences..and their would be culture conflicts...as has already surfaced with defectors. N.Koreans want to be "rescued"....when in fact better if new governance and they make that happen...

Agreed. That is at least one shared consensus between the people of China and the regime. No refugees.
