#1 Here's a suggestion:
1.Withdraw all US troops from South Korea.
2.Appoint April Glaspie as US Ambassador to China.
3.She looks the other way (ala Kuwait) as China solves the Nork problem and gives an ungrateful Skor a well deserved comeuppatence.

#3 The Koreans have been called to Irish of Asia for good reason. There's no way the Chinese could ever assimilate them. What could be the motive behind this? This seems to just needlessly antagonise the SKORs with little benefit. Scare the NORKs and push them into some kind of agreement to SK? Not likely either.

#4 Chinese scholars say...that since about two-thirds of Koguryo lies within todayâs China, it is key to Chinaâs history.

This land is part of our ancient and noble history! We must have the Sudeten---er---Korea!

#7 They'll want San Franscisco next. I don't think it would be fair to the Chinese to stick them with that much dead weight.

#8 Gives credence to the theory that Imperial China never died - it just mutated.
