Korea war risks have risen despite summit diplomacy-7

Of course, there are still
important differences between
the U.S. and the Chinese
positions: The U.S. is offering
an easing of sanctions and
economic openings only after full denuclearization, whereas
China believes that Kim should
get step-by-step benefits for
his moves to diplomacy, and
has already eased border
sanctions as recognition for his coming to the table. And Kim must now recognize
that he is not playing with
quite the strong hand he
thought. Look past the cringe-
inducing tone of the letter, and
the fact is that Trump has, in his own strange way, managed
to convey the following things
to Kim: He is genuinely willing
to go to war; he is genuinely
willing to make peace; and he
is willing to walk away from a deal if it is not a good deal.
That confronts Kim with an
existential choice: a genuine
deal, or war.Source:Asian Review
