Iām pretty shocked no one in this thread gives credit to China. Kim Jong Un did travel to Beijing in an armored car and met with Xi Jinping. China has also been levying sanctions and restricting tourist travel etc into the country. China is quite annoyed at what Korea is doing to threaten its Belt Road plans. And with the Korean conflict potentially over, China has free reign to dominate Asia, and push up against Japan. No doubt Trump likely pushed things to a head with his Twitter diplomacy but an extremely globally ambitious China has to play a role in this as well.

Me too, and it wouldn't surprise me if a deal was struck: go for peace, you'll remain a buffer and own state. We'll support you and will be able to push investments into your country. Capitalism with socialist characteristics-style.

If none of this would or could have happened without an American President who pushed hard on NK and China, then why should credit go to China?? (if not to deny Trump credit?)
