Yeah... No, Just no. Even if it was, that's not enough to invade, especially since everyone would side with China. If you're counting on US support, the US has a history of pulling it when the country in question decides to invade and annex someone else's territory. Ask Argentina and Iraq.

There is no intentions on full integration. All plans for post-reunification economy has the north being separate from the south, and used as a place for labor intenstive industries.

Korea does not want to repeat the mistakes of German.

So treating the north as a colony and source of cheap labor? I can't imagine how this could possibly go wrong.

Yes, I'm a nationalist Japanese/Korean who believes the Koreas and Japan needs to form a union, develop nuclear weapons, and be the counterweight to a reunified China. This isn't a joke, btw.

No, it is a joke. A very bad one. You're proposing three nations that hate each other come together to oppose a 4th nation and become expansionist. Perhaps you forget what happened the last time such a thing was tried? China's in a much better position to defend itself this time as well.

North Korea will only agree to reunification under their rule. Obviously this will be unacceptable to South Korea.

Shall I continue? After all, the only thing China has right now which is of advantage against ROK is manpower, and even that isn't that much an advantage.

You don't seem to know much about the state of China's military. They're in the process of extensive modernization. A war will only accelerate this. Also, they have one hell of a manpower advantage. For comparison's sake North Korea's current standing army is about 4.5% of the population. If China mobilized to that extent we'd be looking at an army of 58.5 million. One percent of China's population would still be an army of 13 million. The only nations on Earth that could beat China in a conventional war are the US, and maybe Russia or India, and that's assuming said conventional war isn't an invasion of China itself. No one can beat China in such a scenario.
