China pre-emptively attacks North Korea before NK can do anything and before the US can do anything. China works with S. Korea to unify and support transition N.K. to an indenpendent Korean state. The World claps their hands at China. China and Korea become allies. Unified Korea looks at US and commands us to get our troops out of S. Korea since they decide we are worthless.
Taiwan observes the US weakness in this situation and decides that the US is not the long term solution either. They decide to join Mainland China...

“Taiwan observes the US weakness in this situation and decides that the US is not the long term solution either. They decide to join Mainland China...” Ditto. This would also be the perfect time for the US to wash our hands of all the global BS, and start taking care of our OWN affairs in the homeland. All this will require a Clean House, if you catch my drift, and beefing up our military and defense systems.
I thought of the same thing, but witness the experience of West Germany, and the hit that they took from absorbing East Germany.
Maybe take out the Kim Dynasty, Chinese administration while the North decompresses- with ROK aid and strict border controls.
