I believe China knows exactly what they want..using Korea in several forms to drive Americas attentions back to them.
In the end..its a psychy war,China postures Taiwan..North Korea fires a missile and scares the crap out of the Japanese...recently...a ship load of missiles sails into the most hotly contested waters in the world.
China loves to grind on America..make them run around in catch up mode...kinda like a servant scurrying around in the palace.
I'm not jokeing with this idiom...they have a really messed mental thing going on upstairs...they like to screw with nations..see how far they can go.
Pull China out of the mix...how much wealth gets diverted yearly contesting their chess moves?
They are infact draining away Americas wealth..its war of a different kind.
Part of the end game of the mid-east mods being set into motion..is new pipleines and shipping terminals..so that the Gulf oil can get to the orient.
Then China wants a piece of the action in space.
China wants...China wants,
Yup there's a pattern here.
