How would China and U.S. work together to solve North Korea's

With some sweet tag-team action

Easy, just allow China to annex South Korea.

>>140694
You meant North Korea ,right?

My take is we divide North Korea in two. China doesn't want refugees, South Korea will have to take them.

>>140813
North North Korea and North South Korea?

The scenario I see as most likely is one where the Chinese blitzkrieg N.K. in less than the the time it takes the U.S. to react. By the time the U.S. forces are ready to invade, China is already calling Washington to let us know there is no longer a N.K. to invade. It's all Chinese territory now.

Which would leave our POTUS in a position of having nobody to retaliate against.

China would never invade North Korea because they want a buffer state between them and South Korea (and by extension the United States). Plus as stated in >>140813 China wouldn't want to deal with the resulting refugee problem. They would also have to deal with possible North Korean nuclear weapons flying around, and it would reflect very poorly on China if they provoked a nuclear attack on a third party. As it stands, for China it's better to just let North Korea do whatever they want short of actually attacking South Korea (since not only would the North inevitably lose and therefore be lost as a buffer state and lead to refugees pouring into China, but a large number of high-level Chinese diplomats and business leaders would be killed during the shelling of Seoul).
