China on one hand does not want a border war between the Korea's to break out. The further west you go in China, the more the non-Han population hates the Chinese government. China has enough troubles holding the country apart without a loss of territory by breakaway countries like happened with all the -istan countries and Russia in the 1990's.
North Korea is an unstable pain in the ass to China. When the USA tries to get China to lean on NK for some reason, China complains they don't listen. NK generally does what they want, even when China helps them. Most of it is nonproductive saber rattling.
China does not want a united Korea with a working democracy on their border, either.
China DOES want the more than $2 TRILLION worth of mineral reserves that NK poseses.
