Do you think China would allow the US to toe Korea’s red line? Would relying on the PLA for the conventional deterrent not be the better strategy?

If you're the DPRK you already have seen your greatest ally collapse once (USSR). Wouldn't surprise me if they're always preparing for the collapse of their other allies too.

But at what point is it way to much, paranoid, and actively detrimental to the lives of Koreans? If China somehow collapses, there aren’t enough T-72’s in the world to save Korea from the US.

But by the looks of it, China is going strong and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

up to the leaders of the DPRK to decide

people thought this about the USSR before it collapsed too. like just look at parenti's lectures, he had no clue the USSR was actually going to suddenly collapse in 1991
