North Korea and China

Question for people who might understand the intricacies of these two nations relationship better than I -

What prevents them from being allies - especially in this day and age?

No expert about the subject but when north korea became communist it did so with help from the soviet union. And i remember the soviet union and china had conflict about how communism should be. Pure like china was and maintained, or a watered-down form like soviet union which became more capitalistic as time went on. Maybe this explains a bit of your question?

They actually are allies. China is the only major ally North Korea has. They'd probably be better friends at this point if Kim Il Jong wasn't such a wing nut.

CHina wants to open itself to the western world, NK has no inclinations of that kind whatsoever.

they just like the U.S. a little bit more.
its not because they are predicted to import one trillion dollars worth of goods into the states by 2010 or anything.

It's maybe a cultural / historical thing as well i think... Koreans and Chinese have had alliances for centuries.

If you have black hair, or are a fag, you'll offend him.
