The chinese are not going to help take down north korea unless north korea fucks it up too much. The chinese probably have significant paranoia stemming from a (ROK) 700,000 western equipped army on their border. The Koreans can eat shit (or in this case rocks) and die as far as the CCP is concerned, they just want the buffer. 

This.

I suspect they also see value in NK being a foreign policy distraction for the US, as well as NK making Red China look so great by comparison, no matter what the latter does.

That is probably also the reason Chavez and Mugabe both seem to support Iranian Nukes.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Why would China care how many troops a united Korea has on their border?  The only way that Korea could ever pose a threat to China is if the Chinese forget that they have The Bomb.
