#1 SENOR PINILLA is on the Ball...

AGain, IMO Rising China is unlikely to consent to FULL DPRK-ROK COOPER + INTEGRATION, let alone REUNIFICATION, unless the US withdraws most or all of its Milfors from SOUTH KOREA [USFK] + JAPAN [USJF], ETC, at best maintaining nothing more than a MINIMAL? PRESENCE FOR CONTINGENCY PURPOSES. China is also likley to demand a leading role in REGIONAL GMD-TMD [against Iran + DPRK "ROGUE"SCUDS], + that the ROK + Japan NOT dev any NucWeaps Arsenal.

Ala the RUSSO-JAPAN DISPUTED SOUTH KURILES, despite Russia being its "Strategic Partner" + SCO-CSTO anti-US BFF, CHINA DOES NOT TRUST RUSS TO SUPPORT CHINA'S INTERESTS, CURR OR FUTURE, AS PER CHINA'S DESIRE FOR "WARM WATER" PORTS = "SOLE" BASE RIGHTS.

As wid Japan, + in addition to US-TAIWAN RELATIONS e.g. US Arms Sales to Taiwan, the outcome of the US-Japan Base talks as per OKINAWA [MCAS Futenma issue, pro-China ancient Ryukyus vassal kingdom]now has China's eye.

* IIRC PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > GIVE SENKAKUS/
DAOYUS TO CHINA, SAYS JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN. Japan Senkakus = aka China's Daoyus/Daoytai.

IMO THE RECENT FLIGHT OF RUSSIAN STRATEGEIC BOMBERS OER THE DISPUTED SOUTH KURILES [ + Sea of Japan + Off NE Hokkaido] WAS AS MUCH A COVERT = PDENIABLE RUSS MIL WARNING TO RUSS BFF CHINA AS AN OVERT WARNING TO JAPAN.
