re: Would China back North Korea and if so would we still owe china money?

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.

It's obvious, just give it to the Chinese. Financially support the rebuilding of NK, but allow China to enact their policies over them. Democracy won't even compute with the NKs, so let them slowly be introduced to the real world by a totalitarian capitalist market.

The Chinese are way more prepared to deal with the North Koreans than we are. Keep the DMZ where it is and let China do what they see fit. What they see fit will benefit them and the United States and especially South Korea, which is their #3 trading partner. Capitalism will work this out.
