#1 IMO this proactive view by China will depend on how things are in outcome vee OKINAWA + TAIWAN + VIETNAM = CHIN'S DESIRE FOR "WARM-WATER PORTS".

As QUEEN VICTORIA would say, Beijing thus far is "NOT AMUSED" at INDIA + RUSSIA + JAPAN + USA being allowed to set up in EVERYBODY-BUT-CHINA'S-NEW-BFF VIETNAM [Gulf of Tonkin/Sea of Vietnam = SOUTH CHINA SEAS].

And CHIN must know that RUSSIA'S PROPOSED NEW SUB, MILBASES in FORMER JAPANESE KURILS WORKS ASMUCH TO ISOLATE + MIL DETER CHINA FROM NORPAC + ARCTIC + RUSS FAR EAST AS IT DOES SCARING THE BEJESUS + P **** OFF JAPAN UNTO DEV NUCLEAR ARMS.

#2 Bring down South Korea by dumping the North on them. Bring down the US by dumping Mexico on them. A pattern emerging?

#4 The beginning of a good, old-fashioned Realpolitik bargain being constructed? China gets the ~~Sudetenland~~ Taiwan and the West gets North Korea. Such a bargain!

Will someone wave a paper and declare "Peace in our time..."?

#5 Actually it probably won't work that way. I suspect China and South Korea get the brunt of dealing with the collapse of North Korea. Taiwan will probably shift more towards China though, but not as part of any deal, but because they see that the US is a bit fickle when it comes to defending others these days.
