North Korea: History Will Judge Us Harshly

[Papewaio]

China.

China would want concessions to first allow a UN vote to go through. Second for an actual occupation by foreign powers of NK, third if China is involved what is the guarantee that it doesn't incorporate bits and pieces into China based on old maps?

What will we have to give to sweeten the deal? Aircraft carrier technology? Patent deals? Preferential bonds?

Then after North Korea. After China has participated in liberating NK what precedence does this set?

Can China now liberate Yemen, Somalia, Taiwan and the Spratly Islands?

If not why not?

North Korea is a threat to itself. China could be a beacon or a bonfire to the world. So stop thinking in short term Western timeframes going for a quick fix. After all look how long ago the mission in Afghanistan finished. If you want the beacon build it up carefully over time. If you want the bonfire tip some aviation fuel on it.
