They will just start executing anyone that has an IP address.
Or maybe they will enforce a "1 IP address per household" law.
Or they will shut down all dissenting websites.
The possibilities are endless!

You're expecting china and korea to fix something?
These are the same countries that are in 1000s of black lists due to their continued incompetance regarding spam and open relays.
Heck, someone over there installed the same broken version of sendmail on ALL of the servers belonging to the Korean education department! ALL OF THEM. A whole nation of servers that will anonymously relay spam! Even the Korean government's servers are open relays.
It seems to me that the only competent IT and computer folks aren't working for the "good guys" in korea or china, and that's a bigger problem than them running out of IP-space.

I can hardly get upset about China's inability to make do with the IP address space we so graciously provided them. Development of the Internet and its basic protocols (IP, TCP/IP, UDP, ettc.) was done by the U.S. at U.S. taxpayer expense. Yeah, I know that others later created applications that used those protocols (like HTTP), but the U.S. invented everything from Ethernet to the IP protocol, so we are entitled to as great a percentage of IPV4 as we want.

For about the fifty-billionth time, NAT is not the same as a firewall. While firewalls and NATs often go hand-in-hand, they are by no means equivalent.
