That would be if the US was innocent. But Trump is clearly enticing the guy. Don't expect China to be stupid.

They pretty much are right now ...
There's a reason why both sides agreed to a ceasefire since 5 decades ago ...
A lot has changed over time. Can you really certain that China wouldn't turn their backs against North Korea when sanctions could be devastating for them ?

It's easier than you think when you consider that China is right beside North Korea so projecting all of their air force on a small area not too far away is realistic ...
The incursion could be over in less than 3 months as long as they start their first military action with a big impact ... (I'd be surprised if it even took over 1 month for China to control a tiny regime such as North Korea)
I think the dream of reunification is over for the Korean peninsula, China isn't going to let NATO invade North Korea and the US doesn't want China annexing North Korea ...
If the US starts with military action then there's a high likelihood of WW III happening but if we just let China take North Korea for itself only both of their army's will suffer casualties for the most part ... (The other option is to bait North Korea but there will be civilian casualties with South Korea and Japan however will it really be worth it to pay for liberation of North Korea with the lives of foreign citizens ?)
Is it really worth starting WW III to achieve reunification of the Korean peninsula lead by South Korea when we could just let China instead annex North Korea for much less the cost in lives to guarantee the security of stability for the next 2 or 3 decades for South Korea and Japan ?
