China's strategy in Korean peninsula

in your concept of reunited Korea, what would be its system (for the reunited Germany, the answer would be

)?
I'll leave it to the Koreans.The current systems on both sides have problems and combining them might be difficult. But getting rid of corruption is bound to be a problem and a change of system might be helpful. Perhaps they can build a system fit for their own circumstances taken ideas from everywhere except I think Japan.
At any rate the long time combination of capitalism and democracy is not possible because power is bound to be aggregated in the hands of capitalists and democracy is hollowed out as you now see in US and EU.

for me, the conclusion out of the vision you presented is it's good if the Communism lives in North Korea so that people all around the world may look and see what Communism means
(I'm not cynical though and I feel sorry for those who starve (don't need to tell me according to you nobody starves under Communists) as I guess it's bloody difficult to escape)

What are you talking about, NK is democratic. It's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Communist party just happens to win every election.

I know little about what happens in north Korea but I hear people talking on my favourite radio station about how much they export to that country to improve local food production.

Yes but with the power lying with China and not US.


China's populous, although not necessarily its government, has an unfortunate habit of looking down upon the power of the country's small neighbors until its small neighbors knocks it on its head.

Unless trump really screws up, the balance of power envisioned in the quoted post will not exist for at least another 15 years. Remember South Korea is not an inconsiderable power in its own right, and it adds its weight not to the Chinese but the US side.

My two cents to the situation is basically the situation had not changed much from the first Sino-Japan war which was a conflict to gain influence to the peninsula.
As for solution both China and US agrees to unify the peninsula under a single government and both remove their involvement and have the unified government become a permanently neutralized state.
Of course the road for this to materialize is long and difficult but the region will become much more stable if it does.

The US won't agree to it. Korea being so close to China and likely requiring significant Chinese assistance to build up NK will likely end up in China's orbit, the Americans won't have any of it.

Since when? And please don't say it's the short border war with Vietnam in 1978. What about the unfortunate habit of the small populous neighbors that looked down on China and take advantage of it to steal SCS islands that don't belong to them only to realize they can never keep it?
