#2  With China pushing troops and ships to re-establish the Heavenly Kingdom, be it noted that at one time what we call North Korea was also under direct rule of China. The southern part was classified as vassal, sending the appropriate gifts and tokens of recognition. Between dynasties, the arrangement and borders tended to vary.

#1  Communist China's budget getting too strained to give their puppet free stuff? (Remember when the Berlin Wall fell and Russia cut off the generous subsidies they were giving Cuba?...same thing.)

Or has the North Korean leadership annoyed them and needs to be taught to obey their Chinese masters? Both?
