#2 No $$$ is quite possible, but IMO the greater reason is Jong-un + Pyongyang Boyz want to see the outcome between China + PHIL ala Scarborough Shoal - at last check, in the aftermath of the Sino-PHIL mutual fishing ban China has begun flooding the Shoal wid Fishing Boats + more armed Fishery Cutters, which has caused/led the PHIL to protest anew.

A US-CHINA-PHIL MIL CONFRONTATION IS STILL POSSIBLE - IMO Jong-un = NOKOR wants to see how China will act agz his country NOKOR in defense of its East Asia security.
