Is China Changing Its Position on Nuclear Weapons?

4. You think a

reunified China is a threat? China already governs the entire mainland. Governing Tawain is only a principle because they think it is part of China and belongs to China. I doubt the Chinese's thinks it is anybody else's business anyway, the same the U.S. would probably feel about Hawaii or any other U.S. territory.

The majority of countries in World has even denied Taiwan's legitimacy, just so they could have relations with the mainland. Even the U.S. recently changed their Policies towards China, including South Korea. That is why they are having better relations with China. The South Koreans relations with China improved just recently during the 90s. The Truce in the Korean War did not just involve agreements between North Korea and South Korea but also their principle backers, which included the United States and China. North Korea's and South Korea's military roles played secondary roles to the main participants near the beginning of hostilities ceasing. North Korea's military faced annihilation until the Chinese jumped in and the same happened to South Korea because the counter attack by the Chinese almost eviscerated South Korean forces and some American divisions. That is when MacArthur talked about using nuclear weapons. He was fired by Truman.

The Chinese sought their own nuclear program because of this threat and the United States reneging parts of the Truce. That is also the time the North Koreans also sought nuclear weapons help from both China and Russia, but both rejected giving assistance to North Korea. Both North Korea and South Korea are only proxies for the major Powers. It is all about maneuvering to gain military advantage over the other side. I do not think China's goal is to have a reunited Korea as a powerful nuclear state on its borders. In fact it is not for any of the acting states interests, which includes Russia and Japan. The Koreans have a bad history with imperial Japan. If north and South Korea ever reunited, they have the resources to form a powerful country absent foreign influences. That is why imperial Japan wanted control of the Korean peninsula. It is a very rich country, if unified.
