China does not want a US friendly Korean peninsula, check. China also does not want a nuclear opponent in the region --- Japan? That was a plum tossed out by Trump in the campaign, but it is a wise move in the chess match. It is less of a provocation than us taking the first move, and it solves two issues --- No Korea's sole belligerence and China's expansionist power base in the islands. China has respect for Japan. It is also less of a provocation right now that a pre-emptive strike on NoKo.
