you know very little about how China buys influence in east Asia, they have the money to buy every level of government there and in other Asian countries like the Philippines. all of which is funded by Americans/Amazon who want to buy cheap goods rather than Made in USA
do you know why central Italy had the first Wuhan flu outbreak? it's because italians are a great culture but complete shit at running a functional gov't. so b/c of this China bought every level of gov't there, so that they can have a factory in Italy but then they ship in hundreds of Chinese workers so that the goods can say Made in Italy but performed by cheaper chinese hands.
so you should look into how the Prez of SK has made a lot of efforts to transfer Korean IP to the IP thieves in China. I would mention China's "achievement" of 7nm semiconductor manufacturing through SMIC which is clearly based on Samsung tech but that's probably a few levels above most of the posters here
does anyone else remember that pic of Kim Jong Un with the medical scar visible after everyone said he was dead a few months ago? if you know anything about photos released from NK you can be sure this wasn't an accident, unintentionally revealing something about KJU's health would probably mean you being put to death so this wasn't carelessness:

I think it's beginning to dawn on some people that Kim is keeping that nuke so that he can point it at Beijing to protect the sovereignty of NK from China, something which SK/Japan/Taiwan/Philippines fervently wish they had.
If you will recall Trump also made of point of saying that he knew where KJU was and that he was in good condition "... but I've said enough" and stopped there
the president of SK is owned by China, pretty much everyone in the SK gov't is now. asking for denuclearization of NK through US influence is all Xi puppet strings behind it
they're still afraid of Trump. they want to take away "Commander in Chief" in his last 13 days because they know the troops are staunchly on his side
