North Korea becomes a Chinese province. That's the way it should work out. No posturing on land. We-America don't need any more territory or colonialism.
The Chinese province of NK then becomes just like Hong Kong or Mainland china which means...easy to travel to and do trade with. Also means north and south koreans can be finally reunited with their families.
I don't see the problem, unless We USA feel the need to aquire more land. Hopefully we won't. Added bonus....China has to take care of the Humanitarian Crisis there.

That's funny that you should say that because I got in a huge argument with a friend of mine when I suggested the same thing the other day.
The stated policy of the Chinese is re-unification of Korea so that's probably what's going to happen, but I would bet you a box of donuts we'll be right back to the same-old same-old in a couple of decades.
What comes after North Korea ?

I don't think it's reunification, because China wants in on some of that capatalism that's coming to North Korea...they're keeping it, but loose like Hong Kong. They still want to control it. And they saw after what's been happening to North Korea, that they have to keep governance of it so it doesn't happen again.
I would think that high level officials in China and USA are making contingency plans so that China can just roll in and take over and we'll help them with humanitarian aid and logistics.
In my opinion, Trump & Xi Jinping will be more likely to start WW3 when it comes time to claim territories.

Might I suggest you try studying up on the cultural differences and economic needs of the various countries? Therein lies the truth, not in the words of someone who makes a living by playing 'pretend.'
Firstly, China and Russia have little to offer each other and are not close allies. China needs oil that Russia can supply; that's it. The US, through its alliances with OPEC, can also fill that need. But Russia's economy is nowhere near as large as the US, so China cannot look to them as a superior trade partner. And to continue their development, they desperately need trade. Secondly, you are grossly over simplifying the international situation; somewhat expected, since you hold Hollywood in such high esteem. They typically do the same thing.
China and Russia are very different yet they have one common goal right now and that makes them allies.
I do not agree with your oil equation...
I think I said clearly enough I am not in esteem of Hollywood, rather saying "even if Hollywood and CNN, media do that..."

China's stated policy re: the Korean peninsula is reunification.

You may be right. Kim Jong Un blinked. No test = no attack. China is stepping up sanctions. WWIII did not start today.
Looks like Trump knew what he was doing after all.
