Back in the Korea War, we had no leverage on China.
I think that’s changed dramatically as we have become such a huge comsumer of their labor.
Heck we could even threaten to shut down their Kentucky Fried outlets....
Heh. Kentucky Fried Tree Bark as it’s known in NK.
I tend to see the NORKS as China’s junkyard dog - kept on a choker chain, starving-lean and mean. But they’ll not let that dog die. To be unchained when it suits them.
China has been waging cyberwar on us for years now, and has hacked into our infrastructure. By now they could probably shut us down if they wanted to, including our oil pipelines, power grids and communications. What if China is actually behind all this belligerent behavior?
