Peters: Everyone Is Missing the ‘Crucial Point’ China ‘Still Sees N. Korea an Extremely Useful Military Ally’

‘All the serious North Korea watchers do agree on one thing that only Beijing, only China has any serious leverage over North Korea’

EXCERPT:

PETERS: "No, I don’t think so. Because all the serious North Korea watchers do agree on one thing, that only Beijing, only China has any serious leverage over North Korea. And then you’ll hear a rationalizations and -- and they’re accurate that China fear is a collapsing -- regime collapsing North Korea, which would see a unified Korean and a U.S. ally on China's border. They fear a wave of refugees after a regime collapse. All true. But Bill, the crucial point that everyone is missing is that China still sees North Korea as an extremely useful military ally in the event of a violent conflict, a war with the United States."
