That should terrify China. South Korea, Japan with nukes? China’s dream of being a major power would be flushed down the toilet.

That is why China is suddenly appearing to be serious, even though you cannot rule out the possibility that it could change its tune midway if U.S. pressure relents. If China manages to sabotage efforts to denuclearize N. Korea in the end, there will be severe economic consequences to them.

The situation is already changing, whether U.S. and others let N. Korea get away with nukes or not. Either N. Korean regime goes down or nuclear proliferation in E. Asia and eventually the world. No possibility of going back to status quo.
