When we hear threats from NKorea, we're really hearing them from Beijing.

North Korea is entirely economically dependent on China.

North Korea has only not been invaded because of China.

North Korea's intelligence comes from China.

North Korea's dictactors are protected from the people they're oppressing by China.

On every level possible, China is completely in control over North Korea.

So let's stop pretending we're talking about an autonomous country; we're talking about China.
