As with east-west Germany, the leadership of North Korea will become increasingly economically dependent upon South Korea over the many coming decades until their control over their people simply collapses. An actual reunification of Korea will be as traumatic for North Korea as it was for East Germany so it will be resisted until there is no other alternative. The Kim's retain power only if unification is a cosmetic non-event - which isn't actually reunification. This makes Korean unification a non-starter with the rulers of North Korea, regardless of what China might or might not prefer. Real unification would be the previous trials of industrial parks where South Korean companies employ North Korean citizens, but on steroids. North Korean citizens would become second-class Koreans for a generation or two as they all worked on eliminating their northern accent. North Korea's "farmland" would revert back to wilderness as it's not currently viable when alternatives exist. Juche will become the joke of the century. Have you ever heard of Egon Krenz?, the final leader of the DDR in East Germany at a time when East Germans began to simply ignore their government? People remember his predecessor Eric Honeker, at least for his famous make-out sessions with Leonid Brezhnev if nothing else, but no one remembers Egon Mini-Honeker Krenz.
