It is all about national security for China. China will not tolerate a unified Korea that is friendly to America. It is in China's interest to keep the Koreas divided and have influence over NK. NK not only provides a buffer from the US army but serves as a threat that ties up the military of USA, Japan and SK. Kind of like the way they use Pakistan to tie down India. Why would China help out and do a real sanction of NK. A real sanction of NK by cutting off food and fuel would collapse the regime. Followed by a unification under South Korean leadership. The last thing they want. China will continue to pretend to sanction NK or say that they have no influence over NK. Always ask what is in it for China to figure out what is going on.

I agree with your comments. But who knows, maybe one day China will decide that it should be a force for good in the world rather than a regional bully. Thankfully, the one-party-one-leader system of China allows for quick change in its policies. And regarding what is in it for China? A peaceful, democratic, free country is in the interest of every person in the world.

There is no good or bad in politics. Just interests.

If there really were "good countries," then Saudi Arabia would not be getting any support.
