China can help by doing nothing.
To escape from China to get to a 3rd country what will let them go to the ROK.
Their lives are at risk if they are caught by Chinese authorities and are deported back to North Korea. What the UN human rights council is demanding China to do is to provide a safe passage to the ROK and the US(which has a law accepting any North Korean defector as refugees if they wish), but China doesn’t care about human rights and deport them back to North Korea to face the prison camp and possible executions, because China fears that letting them go to the ROK or the US would trigger millions of North Koreans to flee North Korea and collapse the Kim regime.
At least Russia provides a safe passage for any North Korean who wish to flee, so Russia is light years ahead of China in human rights account.
To install a pro-China puppet government, although that’s a hard task because there is no pro-China element left alive in North Korea, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il wiped them all out. Being pro-Soviet and pro-Russia is OK in North Korea(Kim Il Sung himself was a Soviet army commander and Kim Jong Il was born in Russia), but being Pro-China is an act of treason whose punishment is death.
1. China has a thirst for new territories. China is eyeing even Russian Siberia.
2. China fears US bases across Yalu-river, where the US stealth bombers and F-35s may reach Beijing un-refueled.
This is why the ROK’s “Seal the North Korea” plan works, because the DMZ will stand even after the ROK takeover of North Korea.
To face prison camp or execution, unfortunately.
China will not. The flaws of the Chinese system is finally eating into growth, and the last year’s real GDP growth was something like 5.5% based on industry surveys, far less than the Communist government claims.
Basically China has no place in Asia because it has little regional influence, too many enemies and no friend with the sole exception of Pakistan and Iran.
By cutting the food and oil supplies.
North Korea won’t listen to China, so the only way to pressure North Korea is if China cuts off the food and oil supplies. But China won’t, China keeps providing North Korea with money, food, and oil like a battered wife no matter how many times North Korea slaps and humiliates China in public.
But China has only itself to blame, because of the unconditional food and oil aid that John Kerry is demanding Xi Jinping to cut off.
China has no influence. This is why even Taiwan would side with Japan on the Diaoyu Islands dispute.
Because China has no influence.
china has all influence. china is biggest trading partner of every asian country.
many north korean who go to china only go to south korea to visit family but now even many south korean move to china too.
if china farts, korea will be there to smell it. that is how big china is.
