Beijing Yanks DPRK Chain - Denuclearization off the Table
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 127/2019 | Sundance

China controls North Korea; essentially as a proxy province. As a result Beijing controls the messaging from the DPRK. Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping is the captor and North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un is the captive – it’s essentially a hostage dynamic. The historic objective has been to use DPRK aggression as a hedge against the west.

Predictably there was going to come a moment when Chairman Xi realized the trade negotiations by his adversary, President Trump, were a hall of mirrors. The U.S. President has played China by using their own panda-mask strategy against them.

The rest of the article is the author’s own speculations.

Need to get the deep state properly tarred and feathered before 2020. Not for the elections sake but to keep them from dragging us into another war.

My hope is that one morning we wake up to US Troops stationed in NK and a huge amount of fanfare at the UN at NK becomes another independent nation, who may someday join together with SK.

Denuclearization was never on the table. Not from North Korea’s standpoint. China or no China.
