6.3 mag Earthquake detected in North Korea

Um, not exactly. China is very westernized, it has tons of global companies that make stuff in China and they do tons of trade with America. China does not want a power vacuum to happen in North Korea, they don't want a refugee problem and they don't want a unified Korea with a western style government next to it's boarder. But no, they don't want North Korea to be poor, just for it get away from it's politics of blackmailing the rest of the world. 

China would prefer North Korea to be more modern. I think you should not confuse a closed state which China is as being ant private sector. Both are authoritarian one party states, but China is far more in tune with global politics and global trade. 

I think Un's mistake was murdering his reform uncle. 

45 is not the way to get NK away from it's politics of blackmail. 45 is undoing 50 years of global policy seeking to slow down an arms race.
