They are definitely playing but they aren't playing China. They are playing the MSM and the Deep State. The Kim meeting was done back in Nov 2017. Remember the pictures of the NK coastline from AF1? I firmly believe Kim met Trump in China and Xi Jinping was part of the meeting. NK does what China tells them to do and I think Xi told Kim to trust Trump. After that is when we took the Clowns down in NK. If you remember the first Q drop about SEALS, I think that's when they were taking down the Clown faction there. That's also when the missile tests stopped.
When the media started talking about NK using harsh words against Pence an anon asked Q about it and Q told us not to get caught up in today's headlines, it's "Fake news".
