That was like the US subsidizing with the taliban with wepons in the mid 80's when they were fighting the USSR. This ultimatly is what broke the back of communism in Russia. China learned this by watching us, and is in the position to do the very same thing to us with N/K.
Your forgetting a few things. First off is that the Korean tanks are home brewed, and have no real service record compared to a Abrams which can out manoeuvre and out shoot them. Another and more important is aerial superiority. Neither the Chinese nor the Koreans have anything that can touch a raptor or a f35. That not even thinking about what a arely Burke, or a los Angelo's class could do. The issue is insurgency warfare which I think would evaporate if you kept them well fed after the war.
Where do you think we get the parts to put into our missles, tanks and planes comes from? I saw a documentry "Death by China" it says that 95% of all of the avionics (Flate panel displays, flight sensors and computers) come from China.
If we went to war with them directly do you think they would continue to allow the export of parts to companies like lockheed martin and Boeing? We may do the final assembly of the planes here, but where do you think the parts for our over priced places comes from? How will we maintain our advantages if we can not service our equipment?
