I had always assumed they would prefer a buffer state, just not one that is on the verge of starting a major war (unless they were waiting to use North Korea to devastate Japan and South Korea in a future where competition is fiercer).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

So, has anyone read a leaked cable they are actually surprised by yet?

If China is really serious about that, it's time to cut off the food and fuel to North Korea.

I'd be happy to see the US troops able to leave because there is no North Korea.

My opinion on wikileaks is that it's devolved to an anti-American smear campaign.

Not really, no. Not only is there little new, there's also little that's offensive if you ask me.
