Having a neighbor that you know is your friend and ally is different than having a neighbor that has gone off the deep end and won't listen to reason or threats.

Would China be wiser to stand back and at least let the US take the current government out before stepping in and taking the role of peacemaker? Then they could come off looking like the good guy with the least expenditure.

If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it.
