War between the countries is well beyond that point. China has no leverage in that scenario, and China depends on U.S consumers. The moment China compromises its economic security is the moment the Chinese become unsatisfied and call for political change. They're not going to put their necks out for North Korea. 

china has the biggest gold reserves in the world, fort knox is a joke compared to the gold China has been amassing. If china dumps their US treasures/dollars, US will be hit by tremendous inflation.

Sure, but China is not a suicide bomber. In the event that U.S-Chinese relations go sour, China is also screwed because its economic system is so entangled with the American consumer.

I reiterate, China is not going to risk its economic security for North Korea.
