My point is that North Korea would be utterly mad to attack China. In fact, it would be utterly mad to attack anyone. Neither China nor Japan would spare an inch of NK soil if they were nuked.
NK postures quite a bit, but my view is that it's all for show - they want a lifeline from the US, and in all likelihood, the US will give it to them.
What China does, if NK accepts US aid, is key to how this whole affair will develop. I hope that the US won't try to pull a fast one on China - the consequences could be dire.
