#1 "Mahanist" Rising China is unlikely to accept either the DPRK or ROK going Nukulaar, let alone main rival Japan, espec iff it China does not have de facto sovereign or military control over
"post-US","Manifest Destiny"-important TAIWAN.

OTOH pragmatically procurement of NucWeaps may SSSSSSSSSHHHHHH ... CCCCCCC be the only way the two Koreas can effectively finally integrate + reunify despite China's eye.

Again, IMO China still desires to have tech-saavy Japan under its Nuke or Geopol Umbrella than under the US, + also desires to keep SCO-CSTO BFF Russia out of any NE Asia mil conflict agz the US-Allies + UNCOM.

To keep Mama Russia happy nothing can go boom or glow-in-the-dark over in Japan.

'TIS GOOD FOR NIPPON AS IT MAY MEAN CHINA WON'T ENGAGE IN ALL-OUT CONVENTIONAL OR LIMITED-VS-FULL NUCLEAR CONFLICT AGZ JAPAN PROPER, + KEEP ANY COMBAT OER THE SENKAKUS [Okinawa?] limited to "MIG ALLEY II" or "FALKLANDS" STYLE WAR SCENARIOS [Nippon = secondary, not primary combat front for PLA]. Japan + SDF may still see attacks agz key or select milbases by the PLA.

'TIS B-A-D, HOWEVER FOR US + TAIWAN + ASEAN, AS IT MEANS THE PLA MAY ENGAGE IN DIRECT OR INTENSIVE DEDICATED MILACTIONS FROM TAIWAN ALL THE WAY TO THE PHILIPPINES + SOUTH CHINA SEA, TO INCLUD INDIA-PAKISTAN ON THE MAINLAND.

Again, from the mostly empty Northern PHIL the PLA can cover any approach by intervening US CVBGS + EBGS.

#2 Sigh. This whole deal is bad for business. WWTMD? (What Wouuld The Mafia Do?)

On a personal note. We gottem two KIAs in the household. The Korean peninsula nuking itself would play havoc with our 10-year warranties.
