And you think if the US were completely isolationist that China wouldn't assist North Korea in "unifying" the peninsula?

I wouldn't want to bet my freedom on that.

And just why would they do that? The only reason China supported North Korea historically is because they don't want US troops at their doorstep.

Puppet states, influence, a thorn in the Japanese side. Why would China need or want Tibet or Xinjiang? Remote regions without Han populations.

I’d say Tibet is for water. The Chinese built many dams and several big rivers which flow through several countries originate there.

Are you willing to bet on this?
