North Korea could use a Chinese communist invasion of Taiwan as a distraction to begin its own assault on South Korea, according to a new report.

The United States will need to help South Korea better integrate into bilateral and minilateral agreements to deter such a threat, according to a report published on March 15 by The Center for a New American Security think tank.
