    There is most certainly a larger strategic reason -- in the sense of a battle for influence and power in the region -- for China to support DPRK, but the economic one is quite critical.
    china has plenty of low skill workers...

    I know you're upset the war hasn't started like you predicted.

    Yes, North Koreans. They buy China's oil and consumer goods -- about $250M worth per month.

    china trades more with South Korea than the North...

    China’s commerce with North Korea is tiny compared to its commerce with South Korea. The $1.3 billion in two-way trade between China and North Korea in the first three months of 2013 compares to $63.3 billion between China and South Korea, according to Chinese customs figures.

    North Korea’s gross domestic product is about one-fortieth that of South Korea’s. Its trade volume with China in the first quarter of this year represented about 0.1 percent of China’s total trade, Zheng said.

    Irrelevant.

    They want to trade with anyone and everyone they can, and that includes North Korea.

    Nothing is irrelevant...The whole war in Korea was fought so that China could have a strategic barrier against the west...

    The whole war in Korea was fought because General McArthur was a ing idiot. Dumbass didn't take the Chines seriously when they said to stay the away from the Yalu. Don't they teach history anymore to you young heathens?

    As someone whose lived too many years in South Korea, I think this is just more rusty saber rattling. Meet the new Boss, just a younger head version of the Old Boss...which can be scary but then you remember this guy invited Dennis Rodman and his father wanted to talk to Bill Clinton for an ego/prisoner exchange

    The NK leader has too good of a life to throw it away and he probably hooks up his friends with plenty of Swedish pros utes so why nuke?

    Let the old soldier fade away dammit

    Would it be wrong to say he was like the Patton of the Korean War

    Interesting observation.

    I would say no.

    #1, Patton got shut down.

    #2 He was really on target that the time was ripe to knock out Russia while we had the resources there and they were vulnerable. /endcoldwarbeforeitstarts

    No, he wasn't on target. We would've gotten our asses kicked like everyone before us.

    Yes, but twoofers like SA210 and nbadan ignore the history they learn because they think it's a government conspiracy
