All of you are overlooking two major soft powers china has .
1. Highly advanced ai that can be used in conjuction with psychological warfare markets to target foreign youth through media .
2. Growing video game exports ex genshin impact.

Something like games with a targeted narrative can shape the minds of young people abroad and attitudes.
Secondly many young people are alone and soend many hours per day playing games an inbuilt chat bot function disguised as a dialogue option in the game .
War is waged in more ways than bullets and tanks

keep in mind that China and NK does have mutual defense treaty. This is the only one China has with any nation. So if SK does get involved, NK will for sure be attacking SK. That would be a disaster for South Korea. None of those high end weapons are going to matter when Seoul is so close to NK artillery. As such, SK joining in against China is a non starter.

Do you know if N Korea fires the first salvo into S Korea, and S Korea/US counter attack into N Korea territory, does the mutual defense treaty with China still hold ?

Thanks in advance for your or any other forumer's reply.

Well, they could try. See my posts about high intensity ground war for the PLA. Korea 2 is a big topic so I started with geographical data dump. I'll follow up with possible strategies for both sides.

It holds even if there was no mutual defense treaty. China won't let these bastards get the North Korean border, not in 1950, not in 2022 or 2050.

Thanks for the tip, I forgot about the mutual defense treaty, especially the "mutual" part. I think then North Korea can always be used as leverage against South Korea, if they even think about aiding US during a Taiwan scenario then there will be severe repercussions from the Chinese and maybe North Koreans.
