This is strictly a ‘what if’ section, I do not believe that North Korea plans or would likely be drawn to a nuclear first strike. As much as it is a “rogue nation” with an (arguably) unstable and irrational leadership, it isn’t suicidal. In gaining nuclear arms North Korea made itself virtually un-invadable, but it also raised the stakes should war actually occur; whatever North Korea can throw at South Korea, Japan or even Hawaii, it’s nothing compared to what it’d face in return. I think it’s clear that North Korea’s desperate bid for nuclear weapons is defensive in nature; a sign of paranoia and small man syndrome on a national scale.
Sorry, people are confused to my post. Here is the correction : " Would china want to back up north korea and become the dream team and take over south beach in south korea and Taiwan."

eventhough china and north korea signed some sort of treaty 50 years ago that stated china will help north korea when there will be war, i don't think china will bother to help them anymore after north korea's nuisance this few years.
why help a lunatic that would shoot nuclear bomb everywhere?
north korea has been over-relying on china's financial/food aid and act like monkey in the six nations nuclear talk.
i doubt china would even want a war to happen. china would be more concern of its own problem and the possible flood of refugees coming from north korea (if a war will provoke).

if a war would happen, this war would be very complicated
north korea vs. south korea
pro:
- unified korea
- the nuclear danger in east asian finally ended
cons:
- south korea will lose their miracle economy progress that they achieved for the past twenty years, not every country is lucky like south korea to have a strong economy like today
- danger of mass lives lost (because seoul is located near north korea, if a war will happen, what happen if one of the dirty bombs landed in the capital?)
- if north korea lose the war and a unified korea happen, would the new unified korea face economical problem similar to germany? (when west germany and east germany unified)
sometimes talking to my korean friends, i am disappointed at the conspiracy that china is behind north korea, funding 'north korean criminals' to wage the war, then having the ambition to invade north korea to create a puppet state to benefit china, this is all too difficult and complex to predict.
i hope this is one of those monkey actions that wont cause further trouble.
and i hope kim jong-un understands this wont do north korea good in the long run.
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true; to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs..

The nuclear-powered USS George Washington, which carries 75 warplanes and has a crew of over 6,000, left a naval base south of Tokyo and would join exercises with South Korea from Sunday to the following Wednesday, U.S. officials in Seoul said.
