That is a classic Baduk line. Deserves to go down in the annals of blogging.

They are one already. China is the master and NK is a slave. SK soon to join?

The US does exercises with Japan and with Korea as well. That does not mean the US will protect Japan when China attacks. And, China will not enter the war initially, NK will attack Japan. In that case, the US will stay out. As NK gets pounded by Japan, China will enter the war claiming to aid NK.

At this juncture, the US will totally withdraw from Japan claiming the US can not favor one friend (Japan) over another friend (China). After all, this war is the very definition of “regional conflict”. There is absolutely no reason for the US to join in.

Near the end of the war, when both Japan and China get demolished, then the US and the EU should work out peace treaty. I think Russia will take half of both countries.

Koreans? Fools die. SK will join China’s side and get wiped out in the early days of the war.

China and North Korea Bury Koguryo History

It seems that:

Later this year, North Korea and China will begin building two hydroelectric power plants along the Yalu or Apnok River that runs across their borders. China’s Xinhua news agency reports that representatives from the two countries signed an agreement on Sunday in China’s Jilin Province . . . Both sides are reportedly set to push ahead with the construction even though the area is where over 2,000 ancient tombs from the Koguryo Kingdom have been discovered.

I wonder if anyone in South Korea will notice this bit of cultural robbery if not the burial of evidence.

Pentagon Report Assails
China’s Military Buildup

WASHINGTON — A new Pentagon report asserts that China’s defense spending is two to three times higher than official government estimates, as Beijing oversees a military expansion that the Defense Department says threatens to alter Asia’s strategic balance.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency estimates that China’s military-related spending will total $70 billion to $105 billion this year. The study concludes that China’s investment in long-range ballistic missiles, naval assets and strike fighters suggests Beijing is preparing for the need to project its power beyond Taiwan and China’s perimeters.

So does unification now mean North Korea joining their northern brethren?
