#1 IMO the only real reason for Pyongyang to publicly reveal its new NucFac is that is losing its ability to control Famine + other serious national econ problems.

Again, Pyongyang is well aware that China won't think twice about sending the PLA iff it thought that the DPRK was getting too potent vee China's interests.IOW, REGARDLESS OF HOW SUCCESSFUL THE DPRK NUCPROGS ARE, THE SAME HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN MAKING SURE THAT CHINA = BEIJING DOESN'T FIND OUT ABOUT IT, OR IN ALTER THAT SUCH INNOVATIVE, EVOLUTIONARY, "PROGRESSIVE + "DECISIVE" + "GAME-CHANGING", ETC. TECHS IS NEVER FORMALLY USED OUTSIDE OF THE LABORATORY OR CLASSROOM BY THE DPRK GOVT. UNTIL SUCH TIME BEIJING APPROVES OF ITS USE.

Beijing's priority is to make sure that the DPRK, etal. does not turn its Nucweaps agz China, or in the altern that the DPRK will not emerge militarily victorious agz China even iff it did.

* PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > EXPERTS WARN OF KOREAN ESCALATION. New ROK-only drills + DPRK Counter-drills NOT GOOD FOR THE CABBAGE.

* SAME > PLA GENERAL [GEN. Luo Yuan] WANTS FUTURE CHINA TO BE "TOUGH + MILITARISTIC".

ARTIC > WEALTH alone is insufficient to make China a GREAT NATION - IT MUST HAVE MARTIAL SPIRIT + ATTITUDE, + also ABUNDANT RESOURCES + HEALTHY LEGAL, POLITICAL SYSTEM.

* SAME > HOW CHINA'S JETS THREATEN RUSSIA!?

* SAME > VLADIVOSTOK: A "TICKING TIME BOMB" IN SINO-RUSSIAN RELATIONS?
