ELIF: Regarding North Korea.  I understand some of the reasons they are doing what they are... but is there any reason China would want North Korea to do this?

I understand its most likely just a political game to reduce sanctions or get something... but I feel like they wouldn't be doing this without approval or something from China.  They stand alone without them.

So the question is, what reasons would China have for wanting NK to threaten... and also what reasons would they have for wanting NK to attack?

Think of North Korea as China's yippy little ankle biting chihuahua.  China went and rescued the little shit from being euthanized (Korean War).  It slobbers, snaps at people, and shits on the floor but China just doesn't have the heart to send it back to the pound.
