This is the unsung war, that is west claiming victory in silence with heavy handed financial restrictions for the North a form of silent genocide where this is still a ideological war that really never ended. China is still a communist regime we tend to forget about that, and look where this has gotten China. They are probably the worlds strongest economies right now and what are they? North Korea is another Communist state a failed such as the west or better said the UN has hampered every attempt for the North Koreans to break free from their chains of war. China is one of the main energy providers of North Korea, China do not want the entire North Korean peninsula inside their own borders in a collapse of North Korea. This alone would probably destroy the Chinese economy. Of course the human flood of displaced North Koreans would bring about the entire world to its knees as the recovery work needed for normalisation would be immense. I sometimes think like this, why armistice and silent wars? Why not let all sides battle them out and the winner the real one get the price would not our world be a little bit better that way? Anyway North Korea is not what it is solely cause of North Korea and its leadership, the west has made it this way and the UN has moulded it this way. China still got interests in North Korea but those are today mostly band aids to avoid a refugee crisis of historic proportions. This chapter wont end until the last war of all wars ends, when the last bullet and rock is throw-in then we will see an end not until then there will be peace between both Korea's.
