Chinese government still treats North Korea as an ally, hope to keep US at the bay and hold a so called "buffer "area. Maybe Chinese leaders care more about ideology than their country's interest. But if such short sighted policy doesn't change, China will shoot her own foot in the future.
North Korea's dictator is enjoying his cat and mouse game right now. He never wants to be disciplined. He will do anything to keep himself and his family in power, even millions of people loses their life. However, North Korea's collapse is imminent. Korea will be eventually united. Not by North though. Dear leader and his family will be remembering as one of the most brutal dictators in human history. By then what Korean people would think about China? How would they or the world teach their future generations about this page of history, and China's role in it?
Maybe China doesn't care, because China is powerful. But power itself doesn't get respect. US is powerful. She supported China's civil war in 1940's, how many Chinese appreciated it? The Chinese government even took advantage of it and "educated" Chinese to hate "US imperialist "for decades. As a world power, China should treat her neighbors in a responsible way instead of making same mistake US made decades ago.
In terms of "buffer zone", that's nonsense. In today's world, North Korea's few hundred kilometers inland is meaningless. F-22 can fly from Japan to Chinese border in 45 minutes. A Los Angeles class Nuclear submarine can reach Yellow sea in 36 hours from Guam. China didn't need any "buffer zone" in 1960's when Soviet Union had a million strong army staged by Chinese border, why they need it today?
Korea is China's neighbor, so do many countries surrounding China. They are watching China's action toward her neighbors closely. Such policy is increasingly showing signs of trouble. China is constantly embarrassed by North Korea's actions. China's security is getting worse instead of getting better. Her neighbors are nervous. It's time for Chinese government to show some responsibility.
