Why fear when you have China to step in and protect you when you're about to lose?
The Korean War taught us as much.
No doubt about that, Moros. I'm guessing that he wasn't expecting to be thrown under the bus by China with respect to sanctions. (Then again, I wouldn't put it past China (or anyone else really) to openly condemn NK while continuing business as usual).
I can't see China wanting to get involved in this. Mushroom clouds are bad for business, and for good or ill, China needs the US as a trading partner to stay healthy.
