On the rare occaision when I discuss North Korea while in China, the usual response is a shake of the head and s sigh -- I do not think China knows what to do about North Korea. China has a large problem with North Koreans as refugees. Japan is the most likely target for North Korea and there is no influence in North Korea. South Korea has limited influence -- after all, that border is the world's true hair trigger flashpoint -- 24/7/365. Russia has some influence -- North Korea patterns themselves in some respects after the old Stalinist system. North Korea is by all accounts a complete disaster -- with a rapidly growing arsenal of WMD that could go over a cliff, taking many hundreds of thousands or millions of people with them.
