North Korea want the silly war games with the USA and the South to end, they have never come out and threatened anyone recently.. unless they were first being provoked.
China more than anyone wants to resolve North Korean issues and help them rebuild, NK is a huge source of cheap labour for them and a land they have no issues polluting too fuck. North Koreans don't have much choice in that, they need the money. But more than anything China will want to build a military base.. right across the road from Japan ;), I can't see China helping North Korea much unless they get that.
So peace deal or not there lays the problem, how many trillions of dollars is the USA willing to throw at North Korea, because if you don't... China is already waiting with a cheque in hand... and that creates a bigger problem..
North Koreans are quiet happy to keep building nukes and increasing their military, anything but that would take a lot of persuading to hold face to the people of North Korea from Kim. Yet Trumps in the situation if he wins and brokers a deal.. as OP says he'll probably get the Nobel peace prize and gain enough faith in the USA to keep him in power. But if it falls on its ass the results could be catastrophic, especially if.. China moves into protect them.. in exchange for a military base opposite Japan..
Note both scenarios end up with, China having a base in NK and the only way to prevent that is how much money is one willing to spend.
I wish the Trump admin all the luck in the world! But the reality is Kim just holds Trump by the nuts now, will he squeeze them or not? And how much is Trump willing to bend to save face and be the hero to the American public?
