If they assimilate to the south. The chance is almost as high that they will align themselves with china. After all, most of the foreign people there are Chinese, and I am sure that they see the Chinese as a big brother nation and have respect for their generosity.
I know a couple people who have been there. I always get them to pick me up a bottle of whiskey made with a type of blueberry. Its called Baekdusan. Actually pretty decent in a unique way. They both admit game is very hard there. One guy "stalked" a service girl until she was alone so he could talk to her. She was quite scared he said, but at the same time very curious. Getting caught likely means prison for her so the fear is understandable.
