Well we all know that during the Korean war the North Korean invaded South Korea they almost won until the United Nations ordered military action. Nato and her allies launched a massive campaign to liberate South Korea, when the North was beginning to lose badly China sent huge amounts of forces to fight the UN.
In the end thousands upon thousands of Chinese died. No matter how hard China tried they were incapable of defeating the UN forces. In the end a temporary cease fire was signed and the two countries South and North Korea have been in a stale mate. North Korea has provoked South Korean a lot and has threatened to invade.
If North Korea were to attack South Korea it would be able to level and capture Soel within days. But South Korean Forces and Nato allies would be very quick in their response. You would see a massive counter strike and this time Nato would aim to finish the job. The question is would China intervene once again to defend North Korea?
We know the UN would not authorize military action against North Korea, China and Russia as Security Council members would veto any military action. But Nato would none the less come to the souths aid.
I just watched a show on the Korean war which said right now the South has less soldiers then North Korea does. The thing is the South Koreans are far better trained, they have superior technology and air power. They also have a huge US presence.
The question is, would China send troops to repel Nato if we intervened and protected South Korea? China has stated very publicly that they do not want an armed conflict on their border. They will do anything they can to avoid a conflict on their border. So does that mean that they would mobilize to defend North Korea? or would China allow North Korea to fall avoiding a conflict with Nato on their border?
