China has begun drawing up plans to attack North Korea, according to the Paris-based Intelligence Online newsletter. Hu Jintao, head of the Central Military Commission, has ordered the Chinese military to draw up the attack plan as a move "deliberately meant as a threat to the regime of Kim Jong-Il." The report said the plan was leaked to sources close to Western intelligence in Hong Kong.
The action follows China's displeasure at the Oct. 9 nuclear test, which Hu regarded as a snub to the International Affairs Leadership Group that he has headed since 2003.
The report said Hu has dealt with Kim in a conciliatory manner, unlike his predecessor Jiang Zemin, who disliked the North Korean ruler.

According to the report, intelligence activities against the Kim regime also are being considered. The Chinese military intelligence service, known as 2 PLA, "is toying with the idea of a palace revolution that would kick out the 'Kim dynasty' and replace it with 'pro-Chinese generals,'" the report said. China's top military officer on North Korea is said to be Gen. Yan Jiangfeng, current vice president and secretary-general of the China Institute for International Strategic Studies (CIIS), a think tank close to 2 PLA.
Yan was a military attaché in Pyongyang and is close to retired Gen. Xiong Guangkai, also at CIIS and who was close to Jiang.
Just twy it. I'm not afwaid.
And then what? Will they support reunification or install their own version of a government in there?
Chinese saber rattling.
I'd bet that they would intall their own government. They need communist values there.......not democracy. It would be against their beliefs.
Reunification? Never. In the long term it would be too much economic competition for China, not to mention a greater military threat.
Now that's a great way to get a nuclear NK, the ChiComms would certainly place some "assets" there if this scenario were to actually play out.
You talking to me punk. Go ahead make my day!
Nah, it's disinformation. They want the west to think they object.
Maybe they can stage a coup. A military invasion would be very dangerous and might not be successful.
Can't be too covet if we read about it here...
Too much economic competition for Japan you mean. Neither Japan nor China is too enthused about a reunited Korea. In fact, South Korea isn't either.
Most Chinese citizens don't like North Korea's Kim Jung-il either. It's not disinformation. The Chinese want North Korea to be pro-China, not some retarded agitator that goes around embarrassing China (and specifically China) internationally.
North Korea has two factions: the Kim faction and the pro-Chinese faction. Kim Jung-il every once in awhile goes and purges all the pro-Chinese Koreans out of the government and puts them in concentration camps. China wants to keep the North Korean state, but it hates Kim. It is hoping that when Kim dies, the North Korean government will gravitate toward the Chinese.
If you think this is all disinformation, then you are refusing to see the dynamics between China and North Korea. China hates being embarrassed (and by a turd like Kim Jung-il), it would never deliberately plan itself to be embarrassed.

I didn't know that. Thank you for the insight.
