that might flare up quick, china has been trying to gain influence westward for awhile, 911 messed up those plans for them now N. Korea is bugging them, i think something will happen but it will not last long

Pissing off China is the WORST thing the DPRK could do.

In a sick way, I can almost see NK tossing a nuke towards Bejing, and Korea becomming the parking lot to end all parking lots.

I could see North Korea throwing a nuke at China but I think CHina is arrogant enough (and rightly so) in its military strength to not bother with nukes and just invade with a superior ground force and then claim it as a new territory. The world probably wouldn't do anything to stop them and it may actually encourage them to do the dirty work of booting that crackpot government out of North Korea.

If China would invade North Korea and not South Korea, I think that would be an improvement in life for the North Korean people.

Utterly no doubt on that.
I'm not sure I like the idea of NK become part of China's infastructure in the big picture - and Seol(sp?) will probably start pissing themselves more regullary than they allready do, but if anything, it will probably be a drastic improvement for them.

Technically, China would be considered "legal" to invade right now if the reports of the NK ground forces endering China's borders on H&K missions.. regarldess of the targets.

Keep in mind I have very little knowledge of China and Korean relations.
I doubt China would just want to over run N Korea and take over. They have OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of problems with the population that I doubt China would want to deal with. I think China would try to get in good standing with N Korea, but not so much that if N Korea had a problem with the U.S. that NK would ask China for help.
so if something happens, its going to be fast and little effect. But years later? who knows

I think both of them have militaristic societies, and will work it out that way. That isn't to say they'll fight each other, but probably they'll both cooperate in sending troops to get rid of the problem (in a very likely inhumane way...).
