#1 Once again, IMO CHINA is unlikely to agree to any kind of formal INTER-KOREAN REUNIFICATION unless its own National Security is assured, e.e. that China is never again threatened by foreign invasion via the Korean Peninsula, + that the latter is closed/cordoned off forever.

China is also likely to demand that US MILFORS TOTALLY WITHDRAW FROM SOUTH KOREA, WID SAME FOR JAPAN OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE A MINIMAL, NON-NUCLEAR-CAPABLE, JAPAN-BASED US MIL PRESENCE; + that BOTH SOUTH = REUNIFIED KOREA + JAPAN [Taiwan?] NEVER E-V-A-R! DEV OR POSSESS ANY TYPE OF TACTICAL, STRATEGIC NUCWEAPONS THAT CAN BE USED IN WAR AGZ CHINA.

Also read, NUKE-CAPABLE, POTENTIAL? CONVENTIONAL, STRATEGIC AIRCRAFT, GROUND FORCES' ARTILLERY, MBTS, etc.

Iff NOT, then the US + ROK, etc. should expect China to agree to only MINIMAL INTER-KOREAN COOPERATION, MAINLY AS PER ECONOMICS i.e. the US-WEST + ROK HELPING CHINA MAKE SURE THAT STARVING DPRK ONLY HAS ENOUGH FOREIGN/INTERNAT ASSISTANCE TO SURVIVE.

Why? you say - SIMPLY BECUZ THE FEWER NORTH KOREANS THAT EXIST IN NORTH KOREA, THE MORE CHINESE POWER-CENTRIC PYONGYANG WILL HAVE TO IMPORT FROM CHINA TO ENSURE NORTH KOREA'S ECON, HENCE POLITICAL, SURVIVAL. IOW, China only gains, not loses, by the DPRK's econ troubles + the "status quo", nor does it lose by anything else be it War andor Peace - ITS NORTH KOREA, AND ONLY NORTH KOREA, PER SE THAT LOSES-LOSES-LOSES....@.

The only reason for China to support INTER-KOREAN INTEGRATION, RE-UNIFICATION at this time is to EMPOWER THE PRO-CHINA COMMUNIST MOVEMENTS IN BOTH SOUTH KOREA + JAPAN.

------------

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA-US CONSENSUS:NORTH KOREA CANNOT BECOME A NUCLEAR COUNTRY.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > JAPAN GOVT. OKAYS US TRANSFER OF MISSLES, to Third-Party States vee US-Japan "joint" dev Weapons = select MilSys.

Lest we fergit, MANY US-WORLD PERTS + RADICAL ISLAM are forecasting or antipating the WORLD GEOPOL SITUATION TO STEADILY DETERIORATE + WORSEN 2011-2020/2025 - "NORTH KOREA" is NOT IMMUNE + ONLY ONE OF MANY ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR, AS BROADLY SYMBOLIZED BY BOTH ISLAMIST IRAN + RADICAL ISLAM SUCCESSFULLY "GOING NUCLEAR" ["2012" = NucWeapons, Advanced WMDS].
