#3 Unless China thinks it still has a reputation as an enabler and the other parties, namely the U.S., lose more 'face' than it does.

#4 "North Korea Demands Nuclear Reactor"

Why build when you can extort?

Seriously, maybe they've hit a sticking point, say coming up with the money to complete their own reactor, or to fuel it.

Or they expect their reactor to be radioactive ruin any day now, so why waste another penny when they don't expect to get a return.

Whaddya do?
Bluff and extortion seems right down their alley.

#5 A second thought, "Hey you" Yes You World",
"How much will you pay me to put this gun down."

"Oh and whatever you pay, you have to include a bigger, better gun into the bargain."

I don't think so, far smarter to take the gun away than listen to the Madman's ranting.

Best all around solution would be for China to build the Nuke Plants powering N Korea across the border in China.
That'll keep the NORKS on a short leash for the next 30 years or so. Misbehave, and lose your power.
