The Chinese are not dumb. They would have a very nationalistic, ethnocentric, and hostile 22 million Koreas on their border. If you think South Korea is bad with their ethinic pride, North Korea has had absolutely no immigrants, or foreigners, living there in the last 60 years. There is a reason they are keeping Kim Jong-Nam around. If things go south, and they aren't satisfied with SK/US negotiations, they are going to put big brother Jong-Nam onto NK's throne.
Perhaps later, when they're satisfied with whatever they negotiate with SK/US they will let the south Koreans to takeover. Which most likely requies American troops to stay south of the DMZ, or outright leave, and an understanding that SK isn't hostile to Chinese foreign policy in the region. |

Seoul seems to be overlooking one important thing......
......The fact that CHINA, not South Korea, makes up 90% of North Korea's trade, and the upper echelons of the North Korean regime don't bank with South Korean banks. What's more, the South already cut off what little trade they had with North Korea, to a MUCH greater detriment to itself than North Korea.
The world needs to rethink the North Korea problem.
As far as Seoul leading the charge, the witch of the Blue House is stirring up McCarthyist cold-war feelings for pre-election drama. |

I am curious how you bridged that, especially when McCarthy was not really proven wrong...only gagged. |
