China is only as stable as their energy sources. Remove Iran and a couple other countries that supply them and they would be in big trouble.
The issue with NK is that only China stands to gain if the US/SK goes to war with little Kimmy. It becomes a distraction ...
And if the West remains strategically focused, war with NK makes it more likely that nukes will come into play to quickly deal with such a distraction.
The alternative is even worse and involves more widespread regional conflicts around the globe, specifically in resource rich areas.

Seriously mate - hope you take the time to actually understand what is going on - please also try and avoid that condescending tone of authority when you clearly have a very limited understanding.
Cheers.
Find this response pretty shocking - mainly for its presumptions - based on ignorance, and then erroneous assumptions drawn from said presumptions.

Who the hell do you think they would rather be with - please. Grow some idea about international relations beyond the blinkered western perception.
(...)
what are you talking about ? Do you even know where this is ?
You then state that China hasn't said anything - WTF ?!!!!
(...)
Finally - you have a lot to learn about what is going on
(...)
A proxy war with China provides the US with the opportunity to absolve their debts to China - thats the whole point of doing it - DER!!
China has no allies in the area. What do you think North Korea is. WOW

The Chinese effectively bought the canal through their private finance arm via a Hong Kong based front groups - one of the first things they did when they received Hong Kong back from the British.

The army and people of the DPRK will legitimately counter with their powerful nuclear deterrence the largest-ever nuclear war exercises to be staged by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces.

I think you are being a bit dramatic and liberal in your assertions, to be fair. First, the company that owns the controlling stake in the canal was formerly a British company, but is now a Hong Kong-listed public company. It is not a Chinese 'private finance arm' as you put it.
They operate in 55 countries or so and focus on ports. Hey, even you could buy a controlling stake in this company if you wanted...then we could say 'Aristophrenia is trying to take over the world'.
Second, your prior assertion the most Asian countries despise the US simply isn't true in my experience. Quite the opposite. There may be a dislike among some people over policies and politics, but there isn't a broad-based hate which could be categorized to the level of "despise". I've found most Vietnamese, Filippinos, other Southeast asians and even Chinese in fact to think highly of the US over many aspects.
