I had the chance to drive through the ChangBai mountains, on the border of China and North Korea. The rate of development was surprising; massive powerlines intersect the border and the roads are flooded with freight trucks. The trip got me expelled from a department of state program, but was illuminating nonetheless.

In your mind what would be the 'Kissinger method' for countering China's geopolitical leverage wrt North Korea? And given his recent visits with the Trump administration, do you see any meaningful action taken?
