Keep in mind that nuclear weapons have been used, repeatedly, by terrorist elements (the PLO) and in a “stand up” war (between Iraq and Iran) in the IST world. China, who has been conducting above ground nuclear tests, will have no problem breaking out bigger and nastier things. The genie has already been let out of the bottle here. They have no reason not to do it. They’re independent of the U.N. and don’t need anything from them. Their sanctions mean nothing to China.
China has had twenty-five of their thirty-years in their bid to breed a cosmic-level metahuman. They’re going to have a lot of research done, and know what they’re doing. They will have divisions of metahuman soldiers.
It will be World War III. It will take the entire world to fight this (maybe even more than one world!). The other non-friendly, non-member-nations (Libya, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, South Africa, and others) will jump on this opportunity to strike at a weakened U.N. It will go global in a matter of days. When units start getting mass-teleported into South Korea, and the battle raging for days with all signs pointing to months of battle . . . the non-friendlies will pounce.
This will be a World War. This isn’t going to be a pocket war. China has the ability to strike anywhere it wants. It may not ally with the non-friendly nations, but it will use them as distractions. China has tens of thousands of metahumans . . . and then there are the ones they’ve been breeding. No, this is going to be ugly, and dangerous.
It doesn’t seem to me like North Korea would be anything more than a puppet state. If they attacked, and China didn’t want to support them, they’d let them get their butt’s kicked, and then move in to North Korea and annex it. No, they’ve been planning this for several years—they’ve been “baiting” the U.N. and this is the culmination of it.
