China's strategy in Korean peninsula

I'm not sure if this is still the way things are run now, but I can recall a scene I saw on a programme about North and South Korean relations on the Discovery Channel (or was it Nat Geo?) a few years back.

During a scene on the DMZ, the camera was first focused on three North Korean guards that are standing literally right next to the concrete line marking the border.

Then the angle changed around to show the South Korean side. Standing further away from the border compared to the North Koreans, were two (or three) stern looking guards, with clenched fists pointing to the ground.

But further back of those South Koreans, there stood one American officer, supposedly supervising the situation.

Your guess is as good as mine as to what opinions the North has of the South.

Probably not but I haven't seen a single reason for the change of current situation. I don't believe both countries will reunite and in 50 years those two will be so different that I doubt there will be need for one, united Korea. It will be long process. I would start with slowly opening the border with the South. They could accomodate, let's say 1-2 million of cheap workers in there. Then wait for them to catch up for 30-40 years slowly pouring capital from the South there. When, and if, they could catch up a little bit there's a slim chance for reunification.

Is it a bad idea? I think that's how could manage it. Joining together two countries on completely different civilization level never happened and it would be too painful process for anyone to agree to do it overnight.

United Korea would scare Japan and a good think for China ... They will reunite much sooner than you think ... history has told us (not sure whether you are aware) in the past of West and East Germany ... and Germany is much stronger than ever

China would be happy to have a reunified Medium Brother as neighbour and reunification might encourage Little Brother Japan to leave off the cold war it is now enjoying with China. Japan would have no reason to be afraid if it were a friend of China.

South Koreans look down at North Koreans. I'm talking defectors living in South Korea who have an obvious physical appearance apart from South Koreans. A peaceful unified Korea would depend on if the Kims created a nationalistic population or a beatened one because one thing for sure the South Koreans are no different from other colonized neighbors where their Western masters in order to keep them happy under colonialism taught them to believe they were superior to Asians that didn't follow the West. A nationalistic North Korea probably wouldn't take kindly to South Koreans acting like they own the place.

OMG! China must do something against North Korea or else the US won't defend China anymore!

"If you want to play with the United States this way, we're not going to defend you anymore," he said.

That is a very very odd thing to say. Perhaps he got China and South Korea confused for a moment?

Another article said this kid Warmbier (nice name LOL) wanted to study in China afterwards. I'm not thankful to North Korea often but hats off to Kim for stopping this one before he got to China. If he stole a CCP "propaganda poster", we'd probably just lecture him, watch him cry, then deport him. Then he would go back to the US to tell his cult/church/frat friends about how he "cunningly prevailed" in his "daring fight" against the CCP in the belly of the beast and that China's so stupid they let you go if you pay them a little lip service. But not North Korea; in North Korea, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

Well it's obvious Bolling knows nothing about how the world works nor American foreign policy. He assumed China was being protected in an alliance like it does for Japan or South Korea. I bet the small cogs turning in his head assumed the US doesn't trade with countries that it doesn't have an alliance with hence why he thought China was gifted with US protected that he can hold hostage.
