China Prepares for a Crisis Along North Korea Border
2017-07-25
[WSJ] BEIJING--China has been bolstering defenses along its 880-mile frontier with North Korea and realigning forces in surrounding regions to prepare for a potential crisis across their border, including the possibility of a U.S. military strike.

A review of official military and government websites and interviews with experts who have studied the preparations show that Beijing has implemented many of the changes in recent months after initiating them last year.

They coincide with repeated warnings by U.S. President Donald Trump that he is weighing military action to halt North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, while exerting pressure on China to do more to rein in Pyongyang.

Recent Chinese measures include establishing a new border defense brigade, 24-hour video surveillance of the mountainous frontier backed by aerial drones, and bunkers to protect against nuclear and chemical blasts, according to the websites.

Pretty much the usual:

1: Assuring Vlad that everything is under control and that they have a contingency plan.
2: Not doing anything to actually implement the plan.
3: Panic and overreact when refugees suddenly do show up.

#2   A quick estimate from the internet shows that the Chinese Communist Party during its rather short history has already killed far more innocent Chinese than the current entire population of North Korea amounts to. You take it from there.
