To be clear : first, this is only a theory from a YouTuber

I did not bother to provide it as a source, because I just found the theory entertaining, and at the same time more realistic than "we're permanently on the verge of ww3 because of a small country with nothing more than nuisance power"

I tend to agree with you that a unilateral attack on NK would cause a terrible reaction from China ; the point of the PAA theory is that such an attack would never occur, until China, for some reason, has drop support to the NK régime ('Big countries dropping support on some protege' does not look like an impossible occurrence - I'm pretty sure there are précedents.)

The NK situation is one of the many that will not be solved on a social network.
