I'm not sure if this is official yet, but I heard (from multiple people) that North Korea is going to war with South Korea. If this is the case, then there is a good chance China could get involved and help the North. Should this happen, could it lead to WW3?

Who knows, maybe they wont go to war, I was wondering what you guys had heard and knew :](yn)

"Should this happen", of course it shouldn't. :|

He's not saying they should. He said "should this happen" which is essentially saying "if this happens".

They're not going to war. They've just fell out and ripped up agreements like they have throughout the history of the two nations. Everytime North Korea is mentioned in the news someone on here feels the need to cry World War III yet I can say with almost certainty, nothing will kick off. I'm personally getting sceptical of China's support for North Korea, while I'm sure they'd like the land, I think North Korea is a big drain on them and seeing as China is slowly moving away from Communism they have less in common these days. They also can't afford to damage relations with the US yet.

I have always warned that the flashpoint of the world and its security is Asia, not the squabbles in Africa or the Middle East. The Korean question is one flashpoint and I would put my money on the Peoples Republic of China becoming involved on the Norths side against the South and the United States/NATO however there are even bigger flashpoints which i've listed below;- its very scary and the more they develop the sooner these issues will be forced to come to a head.

Peoples Republic of China - Republic of China flashpoint over land disputes.
Peoples Republic of China - India flashpoint over land disputes.
India - Pakistan flashpoint over land disputes.

The list goes on more-so in you include racial tensions which stem from Japan, China, Taiwan, India (internally also), Burma and various other points - I also believe Russia has territorial claims with Japan and China dating back to the Russian Empire and WW1 and WW2.

doubt China would join forces with N Korea. Got too much to lose in respect to trade with the US and Europe. They'd probably stay out of it but accept N Korean Refugees (the ones that would make it over the border).
