The buffer zone, while something they might like, is not something they would go to war for anymore. North Korea is a bigger headache to China than they're worth. I'm surprised at the number of people who think China is some ravenous group still that fears the US so much... I think the US fears China more than the other way around. Americans are seen as the awesomestest in China (e.g. all the trendy clothes have nonsensical english on them). I don't think we need to fear China coming into a war against the US, certainly not one that'll devastate their neighbor peninsula. | ||

One of the bigger reasons China wants to maintain the status quo is that if the North Korean government collapses, then there's going to be millions of refugees streaming across the border. It'd be like the illegal immigration stuff in North America if instead of Mexico, a fairly prosperous country relatively speaking, the U.S. bordered Ethiopia. | ||

I don't think he was referring to divided Germany, but was referring to Post WWI Germany leading into WWII but I may be wrong. | ||

The border between the two is also a lot more strict in Korea..you had people border hopping in Germany but there's no way to get across the DMZ in Korea. | ||

I've lived in China for most my life... it's definitely not the kind of 'bad' place western news media make it out to be. Though, Chinese - Korean and Chinese - Japanese relations aren't that great. (Everyone dislikes everyone it seems). I hope this situation is resolved peacefully. Also, I'm surprised people can make jokes about such events. | ||
