Just wondering, people are afraid of WW3 and how China might back up NK, if they do, we can wipe the debt away right?

Like I've always said. Tell China to come and get the money we owe.

If NK strikes first, China will remain neutral. If the US or SK strike first, China will swoop in to defend NK. It's no more complicated than that.

We could cancel that debt tomorrow.

Outside of being at war with a debt holder, it's a bad move.

Well if we hypothetically cancel our debt, then where do we start borrowing money to pay the welfare state? Or does that just stop? Then China just goes away quietly?

No. They're far more financially invested in the US than the DPRK.

I think China stays on the sidelines militarily until it looks like the South with the US might take the North and reunify. China doesn't want that and won't allow it.

Basically Us/SK forces crossing the 38th parallel would probably mobilize them to enter NK to deter a reunification

Doesn't mean WWIIi. We don't want to fight China to win NK. We just want to eliminate the nuke threat.

The plan is. While making NK into a waste land we basically tell China that they or next or they can forgive our debt. We already have the ships and shite in place to just Lee flying bombing runs. Tell them we'll stop when they wipe the slate clean.

we don't owe money to china per say. we are their largest exporter. we paid/ continue to pay them for a lot of goods. they aquire a surplus of money through trading bc they export more goods than they import; they took the profit from trade deals and reninvested it into our Treasury department ( sort of like investing in the stock market) bc they believe in the future of our economy and a good US economy means more exports for China.

It basically how much stake their economy has within our own economy.

US would never bail on china. If we wiped out debt, naturally they would quit loaning us $$. We couldn't finance our debt, EBT cards with no $$, Obama phones cut off, SS payments not delivered....our society would quite literally collapse.

NK is not going to be the cause of WWIII.

The thing that may is any kind of Chinese forced annexation of Philippine islands.
