#1 Is it just me, or is anyone else getting the feel that Beijing would like to take over NOKOR widout firing a shot = no "Great Power" Mil Confrontation in NE Asia, while still allowing Beijing to engage in unilateral, forceful
"Gunboat/Battleship Diplomacy" in the SCS vee ASEAN States???
NO UNO, NO US, NO RUSSIA OR NIPPON OR ANGRY SOKOR TO ARGUE WID CHINA OER ITS TAKEOVER OF A "NATURALLY/INTERNALLY", SELF-IMPLODED OR COLLAPSED NOKOR WHOSE STABILITY + WELL-BEING IS ALREADY IN CHINA'S "CORE INTEREST(S)"???

They don't want to be seen doing it. Having NOKOR as a mad little lapdog for stirring up mischief is way too valuable, but the ChiComs need at least the appearance of deniability.
