i think it hard to gauge what china want, and if the cost of backing n korea in a war would be economically worth it.
for one, the west and possibly russia would cease trade with it. with a prospering s korea they would have a market that pays as opposed to a market that has to be supported. with all the new money rolling into the northern side of a unified korea; wouldn't a major share of it flow into china? would china's tourist industry boom along the new border as well?
apparently they did retaliate sj, just not very strongly.
