So this article got me to thinking. What is the condition set that has to occur for a Chinese intervention in North Korea? Could a palace coup in Pyongyang be tied off with a surgical seizure of nK nuclear assets. China could then set conditions for a "friendly" ne cooperative government in Pyongyang whilst maintaining the strategic buffer between the peninsula and mainland China. Conditions would be set to expand further trade with The ROK who is already a large trading partner. This article alludes to vibes from the PLA that they might not be in nK to help their "insolent" patron State. Perhaps they are just sick of The messes they have to deal with in the Kim dynasty.

I can't imagine any scenario in which China "allows" the US to attack/invade NK. I would expect China to do the job themselves if NK keeps stirring the pot

No I think the real difference is the differences in the way the two heads of state achieve power. North Korea has been via family name and relationship. China they have had to get promoted to the top via the Party. So the difference there I think along with the Chinese having to pay a good portion of North Korea's bills is they view NK as a Welfare Queen and undeserving of independent Nation State Status. I think we can strike a deal with China for a unified but Neutral Korea somewhat like Finland was during the USSR's existence. The Chinese would be OK with that and I think North Korea would as well and we could get our troops back from Korea. It would not be a permanent state of non-alignment only as long as China survived as a Communist State which I think........it's days are numbered there.

When you read the original Armistice agreement of 1953, the world is getting tired of the Kim Dynasty failure to comply to the terms of the ceasefire
