This has South Korea sleepless at night - they saw what absorbing East Germany did to West Germany and wanted no part of it. China also does not necessarily want a new province full of starving crazy people. But they also don't want to give up claim to the Korean Penninsula. So DPRK totters this way and then that way - and the two neighbors gently try to prop it back up so it doesn't fall on them, but doesn't fall into the arms of the other. The United States has no business having an opinion one way or the other over yonder. South Korea and China are filled with adults and can damned well handle their own business.
