The Bubba Effect
Grandmaster
China is not stupid or rash. They have no incentive to risk war with the US. They are winning the peace by a large margin.
I could see China stepping in and putting the screws to N Korea if N. Korea gets hands on with the us/allies.
It is my understanding that China is a bit touchy about it's international perception. Sorting out N Korea would give it credibility as a super power, both in ability and intention.
If China owed us money I would be worried, but since we owe them it's in their best interests to preserve the current situation.
I don't think China is a white knight. I just know they are not dumb or hotheaded. China is playing a long game.
