They need to go low tech and deploy nuclear godwits. (not a theist pun)

If you're determined enough, people can accomplish something eventually. Look at what happened on the South Park episode "Free Willzyx".

Hopefully China would step in with force if they ever got to close to something serious; because you know the U.S. would definitely step up if South Korea were in any danger.

Actually, China is providing dual use technology North Korea could not possibly develop themselves to make North Korean missiles more survivable.

One thing people often fail to grasp is it is much more expensive, and make greater demand on a country's industrial infrastructure, to develop the automotive technology required to build an 16 X 16 super heavy duty cross country chassis that can carry a 50 ton ICBM, maneuver the missile at speed through rough terrain to avoid an attack, and then be sturdy enough to launch the missile off of the chassis, then to build the missile itself.

China is letting North Korea build the missile.  But China is supplying the chassis for the mobile TEL launcher.

Perhaps they are using biofuels. Rice stalks and soylent green?

I never thought of that.

When they go low, we get high.
