Why does he think China will 'put a heavy move on North Korea'?

Why does he think China will 'put a heavy move on North Korea'?

China doesn't want foreign troops near it's boarder.

Because China really doesn't want to see their bubble explode once USA stops all trade with them after NK attacks an allied country.

Because China isn't retarded.

"Dear NK, if you violate the Geneva convention we will violate our treaty"

Basically trump calling in China to control their lap dog before it shits on the rug of so one important

China will assassinare Kim by the end of the month

because having nukes go off next to your borders is bad for buissined and for health, not that chinese care much for the second one.

Because North Korea is China's dog. If KJU keeps waving his dick around the US is going to increase its presence in the region, plus Japan and SK would be forced to increase their military capabilities.

China won't do shit. US won't do shit. Nobody will do anything.

NK has nukes and will use them if attacked. Nobody is going to risk that.

They do care about prestige and "face". Having the NorKs act up like a spoilt brat shows that China has no real power in the world

NK is testing nukes for chyna you dumb noobs

A nuke-equipped NK makes it impossible to invade them.

Very few countries can afford to cut off trade with china. They control too much manufacturing.

A nuclear NK is better for china than a non-nuclear/vulnerable to soft-regime change.

>Why does he think...
He doesn't.

It comes a couple of days after a US destroyer sailed a few miles away from the disputed islands in the South China Sea.

Norks don't do shit without Chinese tacit approval. They got the go ahead on this from the top.

>USA stops all trade with China

OH yes why don't they just send huge shock waves through the entire global economy for the sake of some man-made islands in the Sea of Japan that makes perfect sense doesn't it?

he doesn't.
he's jebaiting you.

If we say "it's time to decide China, it's us or them, what's it gonna be ping want?"

How do you think they'd respond? Do you think they'd move their army of a billion malnourished midget commie slaves? It takes 10 tiny commie slaves to ever come close to just one free American soldier.

>How do you think they'd respond?
they would call the bluff.
no invasion would ever happen.

It's not a matter of why. It's more a matter of how. The fucking donkey doesn't think.

NK is one of the most, if not THE most, isolated countries in the world. If someone so much as looks at KJU wrong, he executes them. Having an unpredictable, paranoid leader like him does not play into China's favor. Kim lives, and dies, at China's whim. They want a buffer state, not a liability.

Exactly. It shows why countries need nukes, it's a great deterrent. Imagine if poor Saddam and Gaddafi had them, they might still be alive today. They protect against Western aggression.

>If someone so much as looks at KJU wrong, he executes them.
He's a rational actor

>Having an unpredictable,
contradiction imo

>paranoid leader like him
paranoid, but rational.

>NK is one of the most, if not THE most, isolated countries in the world.
all the more reason to have nukes. nukes ensure his popularity with and thus his grip on his own citizens. further, nukes give him options for dealing with the outside world - he can continue to be isolationist, with chinese trade sustaining hte country, or, post-sanctions, he can negotiate re-entry into the international order on his own terms, while maintaining power.

kim's not crazy.

NK is a paper tiger. All of its strength comes from China, the missile technology and nuclear technology are all Chinese derivatives. It's a client state. Kim is about as rational as Dennis Rodman, which explains their friendship. Kim cannot handle one of his leaders having a grasp of the workings of NK politics better than him. It may be sustainable in the short-term, but he's surrounded himself with yes-men and shameless sycophants. The long-term prospects are not good. Kim knows this, which is why he is so eager to appear strong.

agree, largely. but kim, as he is behaving now, is useful enough for china. a nuclear nk ensures the long-term existence of the client state. if kim doesn't cooperate in a post-nuke transition to a chinese socio-economic model they can take him out then, but i suspect he will because his survival depends on it.

it nuclear nk offsets american influence in sk quite well and the chinese like to play long games - if this gives them a chance to get a unified korea on their terms, even if it is 5 or 6 decades down the line, they'll take it.

>fight China in Korea in the 50's
>a million dead
>few years pass
>please China invade Korea

C'mon.

POO IN

Wait what

He doesn't, he is baiting them
