China does not gain if North Korea destabilises East Asia, or starts aregional arms race军备竞赛that leadsJapan and South Koreato build their own nuclear weapons. Mr Trump should reassure his allies in Tokyo and Seoul that they remain under Uncle Sam’s protection. But he should also deal with China’s concerns. To that end, he could make it clear that freezing and then rolling back the North’s nuclear programme is hisgoal rather than regime change. He could also guarantee that, were the North to collapse into the arms of the South, America would keep its troops south of the current north-south boundary.China hates to admit that the Kim dynasty might not last, but it is rash not to plan for that possibility.
如果朝鲜破坏了东亚的稳定局面或引发地区性军备竞赛令日本和韩国也拥有自己的核武器，对中国而言也没有好处。特朗普应安抚他在东京和首尔的盟友，他们依然处于山姆大叔的保护之下。但他也应该念及中国的顾虑。为此，他可明确告知，他的目标是冻结然后逆转朝鲜核计划而非改变其政权。他也应承诺，一旦朝鲜政权垮台，重回韩国怀抱，美国会将其驻军控制在现在的韩朝边界。中国讨厌承认金家政权恐不久矣，但不未雨绸缪实属草率。
The crucial message for Mr Kim as for his predecessors isthat, if the North were to use itsnukes, the regime would be obliterated被摧毁. In the long run, reunification is inevitable and desirable. Meanwhile, the junior god-king can be deterred.
