North Korea: The Aftermath

If we are indeed required to remove Kim and his military regime and this happens, then it would be good for there to be a replacement government. Since the Chinese don't want that to be a Democracy, they should stand ready with a plan and people to move in and stand up this new government with North Koreans in the lead roles. They should be ready to do that since we don't know if or when it would be required. They have had a lot of experience and have seen how their own government has changed and they have seen great hardship, as the North Koreans are experiencing, so they should have a good basis for creating the kind of government which they believe the North Koreans would need.

I suppose we could say that is one of the prices they have to pay for allowing Chinese businesses to enable North Korea with technologies of destruction, but it is a relatively small price if they want North Korea to remain unaligned and non-Democratic.
