China does not want to go war with North Korea. Kim will being auctioning nuclear devices to the highest bidding terrorist organization. Then the terrorist organization will do what they do. It is a frickin nightmare in the makeing. South Korea, Japan, Indonesia will have to go nuclear. It will spiral out of control.

South Korea, Japan, Indonesia will have to go nuclear.
It's the prospect of nuclear-armed neighbors, including an insanely nuclear Kim, that China doesn't like.
Even a small number of nukes on cruise missiles spoils all the plans of a budding empire-builder. None of China's plans to dominate the region can work if they face nuclear-armed neighbors.
Personally, I'd like to see Japan and Taiwan build nukes ASAP.
