I think we expect the new SK regime will now pivot harder to US. We also know from what China been saying all this time, they want good relations with SK. Even saying kind words during winter Olympics to put out the fire of anti Chinese feelings caused by competition in the short track skating events. i thought that was quite unusual. Now China probably realize it's gonna be tough.
Even though the sino sk relationship is going to be rocky as SK goes more into US orbit, I doubt it will matter much overall to China. S Korea hard power is limited. As others said, economy is quite integrated with china's. If they really want to go against China, it will hurt them too. Their society now is also deeply divided as seen by close result. domestic issues like housing, equality, LBGT have become hot button issues. I dun think China is a main issue at all for them. There is no need I think for China to fundamentally change their approach. Continue to strengthen relations with Russia without calling it a formal alliance and secure that. The rest will fall into place

Just want to say, SK conservative party isn't anti-China. It is pretty pragmatic. However, for years, SK nationalist education and westernization have a major influence on its population. Anti-China has become political correctness. That means SK would likely do things that would anger China. Since SK conservative party is pro-Japan, the biggest worry for China is they could come up with a soft technology sanctions that include Japan, SK, and Taiwan with the US or even EU. I think Japan is working on that for a year already.
Most South Koreans seem to have the notion that North Korea being there is not a big issue. Since historically Korea had periods of North-South split. South Koreans also seem to have deep historical hatred of both China and Japan. But who knows.
North Korea's army is just too obsolete. The US might chance a conventional war against it. Especially if South Korea and Japan did most of the work. If it was a decade ago I would not see the South Koreans contemplating an invasion. But today who knows. The world is going crazy.

They might just crunch some numbers and think they can cover North Korea in a bubble with AEGIS destroyers to prevent any North Korean nuclear missile launch. The US, Japanese, and South Korean destroyers put together.

Interesting to see if Russia will go full rogue and openly flaunt UN sanctions on North Korea. I'm sure Russia wants to develop its eastern parts but it is short of labor.
The North Koreans already work in construction projects in Russia. And not even just Russia. Even in places like Poland.

If there one thing to say is that all Chinese American need to be careful and plan a way out in the event that the USA does go under because from what can be seen to the naked eye, the USA is too far gone to ever recover. The only thing I can say is that if the USA does truly collapse in on itself, the west, USA in particular is going to suffer endless discrimination (especially those that are white) from all over the world and as thus should be prepared to accept a day where the USA can no longer act stupidly without consequences. The time of China will come and the west has better be thankful that China is not a genocidal action like the west always says but if the USA and the west goes too far, they had better watch out
@emblem21 bro Asian in particular are humble race, so for the Caucasian there will be NO Problem BUT IF they're able to cope with a lesser status. That's the thing Bro the White privilege thinking is so prevalent in the Collective West, either they fight or go down fighting, I said these after seeing the reaction of generation Z, the wokeness is incredible, it's bothering to irrationalism.

Excellent stuff here.
The economic meltdown of the West is getting close

"BLOOMBERG ECONOMICS DROPPING AN INFLATION BOMB: "We now project the February CPI to show an increase of 8.0% year over year and top out in the vicinity of 9% in March or April." But if energy prices continue to rise "CPI could rise above10%.""
So basically, 20% inflation

Not likely South Korea would attempt an invasion. I believe Seoul is just 50KM from 38 parallel line. North Korea artillery would come down hard on Seoul. North Korea might not need a missile to hit SK with a nuclear weapon. Missiles defense could help Japan and the US but not SK. Beside, NK has a defense treaty with China. NK is the only country in the world that is under China's protection.
