Some stars are aligning...China has now officially denounced NK and with the US navy in the area there's a real show of force.

If China decides NK's too much of a threat to keep propping them up, pretty much everybody else in the region would go at them with unrepentant glee. And who would stand to gain? SK and Japan would lose a constant threat hanging over their heads, SK would get a highly-skilled low-cost workforce, and SK and Japan would get a common ground to help talk their differences out...heck, even China would gain from having NK's markets being forcibly opened. Japan's military force, remember, is kept in check by the 1945 agreements (and amendments thereto) which spell out exactly how much military power Japan can accrete and what they can use it for.

North Korea, right now, is one dumb move from being wiped off the map. Literally.
