That's what I see happening. China is a legitimate superpower now and no way do they want more American's stomping around and securing resources in their sphere of influence. I think they are going to take a play from the Russian playbook and eventually "liberate" North Korea. By the end of our life time, I expect that North Korea will be a Chinese satellite state.

I'm not sure the sentiment in China these days to the west though. They don't seem as outwardly hostile any more, but they definitely don't want any interference in their affairs either.
