Too great a risk for China; hundreds of thousands of starved, heavily-armed NorKs fed a steady diet of Juche propaganda since about 1945, this is not a pleasant prospect for China at the moment. They just gotta keep them on a leash till they can figure out what to do about them, is all. Sad thing is, there’s nothing to do but keep dumping rice and fuel in to keep the population (barely) alive; all they can do is prolong the agony.

If things got any worse in NK, the flood of refugees into China would be unstoppable, and would certainly de-stabilize China. At all costs, this has to be prevented.

Sure - but when both South Korea and especially Japan see from PB0’s reaction and whatever will happen at the UNSC that the USA under PB0 is good with words but nothing else, why would they not take measures to ratched up their own defenses, re-arm and re-militarise?
Thus becoming a greater threat to China and the region - making the situation even more unpredictable.

If that happens, the blame lies not exclusively at China’s door, but at PB0s, sorry.
