If China or Japan gets destroyed by North Korea, how is that a problem for us?

Answer 1

Defining "us" just as the US economy and defining destroy as "remove as a trading partner" just to start with. US import trade with China is $243.5 billion dollars. Those goods would go away so they would have to purchased elsewhere - for higher prices. The US also exports $41.8 billion to China the inability to sell these goods would reduce manufacturers profits likely encouraging them further to raise prices. The figures for Japan are $109 billion in imports and and $44 billion exported. Then there is the fact that China and Japan are financing the US government to some extent by buying treasuries together owning $933 billion. The combination of just these 2 facts means that there would be significantly higher prices in the US, particular for poor and middle class Americans since Walmart as one example keeps prices cheap by importing Chinese goods. The government would not be able to step in to help because it would not have the money to without the treasury financing it counts on. Upper class Americans would see the stock market slide just because of the removal of the treasury purchases not even counting the crash that would occur because of the uncertainty which Wall Street hates. This does not even take into account the many other effects "destruction" would have it's a tip of the iceberg.

a million. North Korea will by no skill bomb China. China controls (for the most area) North Korea. with out China's information, North Korea may have completely collapsed years in the past. 2. we are obligated by treaty to guard Japan. After WWII, generic Of the military Douglas MacArthur, dictated Japan's structure to them which always positioned limits on the size of their protection force. They subsequently are slightly in a position to preserve themselves. We actually have treaty responsibilities with South Korea, as does the United countries. The Korean conflict, which regrettably we did not end, became the first United countries Police action.
