Host of 'The John Batchelor Show' on 770-WABC in New York joins NewsMax to talk about China's role in the North Korean crisis.

JOHN BATCHELOR: The can has been kicked for so many years, it is difficult to say who started this. Certainly Clinton time, Bush time, Obama time, they did not confront a predator state with nuclear weapons and ambitions to dominate North Asia.

China, watch China. President Obama did not watch China very carefully. He turned away from China. He did not confront the Chinese problem with North Korea. President Trump is confronting it. It is not of his making, but he is confronting it, and he is talking to President Xi all the time.

The most important detail -- the thing to watch is the Chinese. They are deploying major military assets to the area of the Yalu river.

The country won’t adjust well to a new “god.”

This could be interesting.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I hear he will be a puppet.

Ping. Video at source.

It will be interesting to see how the stock market reacts to the leaks that will surely come out after this afternoon’s SCIF meeting has ended.

I have to agree with article. The can has been kicked down the road as far as it can be. In a way I am glad Obama did not confront this. He would have made things worse like he did in Iran.

North Korea isn't Muslim.

China will try to assassinate Kim Jong Un. China has lost competitiveness due to rising wages, etc., and would love to have a cheap sweatshop that they own completely. That’s North Korea.

[mainestategop]

I'm surprised China just doesn't go in and annex that country. I mean they are an embarrassment

[miss marmelstein]

Oy! Confirmed-Batchelor. Strangest show on the radio. Only listen to it when driving home from Manhattan.

Communist China will, no doubt, HAVE to do ‘something’, and soon.

Why? The only major power that sill embraces Communism must police the connected nations, or ‘the face of Communism’ will not look worth exploring, by the coming generations.

North Korea is a debtor nation to Communist China, which is establishing itself with a consumer market abroad. That cannot be threatened.

I look for ‘dear kim’ to slip on a banana peel, and be replaced by one of the generals.

[crusadersoldier]

I’m not. China uses NK as a club and leverage against the US. Fat boy is a useful idiot for the ChiComs. Russia plays the same game with Iran.

Obama, for God's sake, had to have been the laziest little crapper ever to get a job in government service. He actually won in 08 and cheated his way to a second term . . What in the Sam Hill did he do for 8 freaking years? Oh, right - non gender specific bathrooms in elementary schools. Whoop de doo. Pallets of cash to the mullahs in Iran. Flexibility! No drama Obama.

What a mess President Trump is left with. I wouldn't really blame him if he quit - just walked away.

I believe that South Korea is a huge trading partner with South Korea. Not good to have your trade partner threatened by an out of control puppet.
