This is double plus not good.  They've made and used nukes, may have more, and have sent a clear message that they intend to expand their potential beyond what it already is.  They have a military of more than a million people, too, so invasion (even without nuclear retaliation considered as a threat) is no small task regardless of what China may or may not desire.  This is worsened by the fact that there are no concessions that can be given to rectify this situation - any economic demands they make only make future attacks more deadly should they come to pass.  This is a serious rock and a hard place issue, and I can only hope there's a solution that isn't readily apparent.  The only good one seems to be internal discord, but considering the condition of North Korea over the last few decades that doesn't seem likely.
