... yes, if China threatens N.Korea, which China is not likely to do.

It doesn't have to mean threatening to invade N. Korea.

All China has to do is NOT REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR.

Especially when that bad behavior threatens to create repercussions that lead other nations to take actions that ALSO harm China's interests, or make China seem tolerant, if not complicit, of that bad behavior.

Nukes are great equalizers, when secured in sufficient quantities (one for each large city of any opponent), rendering conventional forces less adequate.

They certainly are.. when all the conflicting parties possess them.

But when an intransigent, belligerent, state like N. Korea possesses them, and their neighbors don't, that's a recipe for DESTABILIZATION AND PROLIFERATION.

Tell me what interest China has in S. Korea and Japan being put in a position of having to develop a deterrent nuclear force?
