True in 1952 but hardly true now. More recently China has indulged the Kims because they don't want tens of millions of refugees flooding over the border.

Kim Jong-Un may be about to find that his sponsor's patience is neither unconditional nor unlimited. The Chinese leaders are not stupid. They know they have a problem.

The best endgame for Kim is an offer of exile in China, at this point. That may be what he is fishing for here.

I wonder what's the possibility of China simply annexing NK

Considering what would happen if the borders to China were opened, I think it would be a huge humanitarian situation.
