It is not in China's interest to intervene. If they were to intervene, I actually beleive there's a much greater possibility of China siding with South Korea. Traditionally China supported North Korea because of ideological similarities (communism). However, China has evovled much the last 30 years and I simply cannot see them helping the North based on this alone.
Today China is more worried about the North Korean nuclear weapon programme and the fear of large amounts of refugees if the Kim Jung Il regime falls or if there is a major conflict (if the conflict were to happen, it would be in China's interest to side with the South).
If we just look at some numbers, South Korea is one of China's biggest trading partners (top 5 I believe). North Korea isn't close in any way.
