#2 The Chinese are not complete dunces. The thought has had to have crossed their minds that SKor is absolutely no threat to them, and is even closer to the Chinese Way than is NKor.

And, if Korea was unified under the leadership of the South, that China would be rid of a major nuisance, and Korea would become China's best friend, worth tens of billions of dollars a year to China, with little or no reason for the US to be there at all.

From the US point of view, such a deal might even be too sweet for China.

#3 It was all but unified till China intervened in 1950.

#4 Korea has as big a beef with Japan as the Chinese do. Only Chinese support of the North has pushed Korea into alliances with Japan. If the Chinese were smart they would have worked towards unification once the Soviets stopped supporting Korea. Made everything as peaceful as possible while slipping a wedge or two in there to pry the Koreans away from Japan and the US. It is probably not too late.

#5 Yeah. Just like the "peaceful" reunification of Taiwan with China.
