Funny that you mention refugees, because [url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/12/china-refugee-camps-border-north-korea]China's already preparing for that[/url].[/quote]

[quote][url=https://wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile/en/Country/CHN/Year/2016/Summary]As for trade[/url], 0.14% of Chinese exports went to North Korea, 0.16% of Chinese imports came from North Korea, while 4.47% of Chinese exports went to South Korea, and 10.01% of Chinese imports came from South Korea. China can basically shrug at the idea of economic ties with North Korea being severed.

Yep. Xi Jinping is a big part of the reason this is working.

For the record though, [url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/13/north-korea-is-one-of-worlds-most-secretive-small-arms-exporters]looking at the DPRK's on-the-books exports is a mistake.[/url] The CIA world factbook *used* to list illicit arms as their primary export -- that's been changed since the last time I looked it up, now it's coal and minerals, but I'm not entirely buying that.
