Chinese companies have been selling North Korea missile technology.

If China has genuinely had enough of NK expect them to substantially fortify their border with them to prevent refugees.

China seem to be near the limit. They have stopped much of their trade with them.

While we're at it it'd be good if Middle Eastern countries stopped allowing NK workers there - they are there at the demand of the NK government to earn currency to send home, but of course the ME really likes its cheap labour.

Re: North Korea

They need to ship a ton of patriot missile batteries in to SK, and then set out a plan for a crippling strike against NK.
Or maybe not a strike, if one of their nukes could be sabotaged to detonate prematurely, that would be ideal.

If military action is inevitable, then it must be before they get any further along in the development.

Assassination? would be difficult to get close, and taking out Kim wrong-in resolve it, there's probably someone just as bad or worse to take over.
The burning question, do the people believe in "their glorious leader" or are they just to scared not to?

You know there's 10 000 artillery batteries aimed at and within striking distance of Seoul, it'll be hard to stop some of them getting through and decimating the city no matter how surgical our strikes

Currency trading is what's propping the regime up that's for sure

Military action isn't inevitable. Indeed, it would be very undesirable. The attack on North Korea that would minimise the risk to Seoul would be a massive, pre-emptive nuclear attack. North Korea store artillery in tunnels which essentially ensures that nothing short of nuclear weaponry would be able to inflict the necessary damage in the necessary time.

South Korea's defensive systems are built around missile attack, not artillery. There is no real way to stop artillery shells in flight. Millions would die before the launchers were destroyed.

This ignoring that China have said that they will get involved if a pre-emptive strike happens. They aren't yet ready to have a liberal, Western-style democratic Korea on their doorstep - look at how they're struggling with Hong Kong.

They want a unified Korea under their system.

They think, given enough time, they can do so.

In the interim a life of luxury for the ruling family and classes is fine.

Re: North Korea

Draft UN Resolution suggests the U.S will seek an oil embargo on North Korea and a asset freeze on Kim Jong Un.

What happens afterwards?

If we've learned anything from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc., is that there has to be a plan for after the military action - otherwise chaos and ongoing conflict ensues.

Agreed.
Before then, China and South Korea fear that if there are crippling oil sanctions, North Korea will invade and fire missiles at South Korea. China also fears a wave of refugees in such a situation.
