This is great idea and shows President Xi's diplomatic and strategic finesse.

The Arctic Silk Road may indeed be one of the practical ways to pull North Korea out from isolation.

The most constructive diplomatic language is trade. China uses it quite often.

Which can be contrasted with the US' venomous foreign policy rhetoric that threatens, bullies and, if capable, punishes to extract submission and compliance.

Please! The correct term is western liberal democracy. Nations that bend over to receive the Vatican treatment are called "responsible stake holders".

"Vatican treatment" in foreign policy; that's very innovative. That's a very strong symbolism (a realistic one) and I should use it somewhere really. Thank you for this very innovative terminology. It could indeed be applied to international relations to describe the vassal-slave relationship that we unfortunately see in some parts of our region.

Perhaps China and Russia together can persuade Kim to give up his nuclear weapons in exchange of economic and military cooperation. It will tamed Kim for sure, if he's agree and all work out, he will greater than his gramp in front of his peoples. Personally I think NK more potential partner than SK or Japan as their foreign policy in line with US.

So you want NK to become a warfare like Iraq of Libya because their leaders gave up nuclear weapons?
