If NK launched a nuke against an American city, and the American president told the world "I am decapitating NK in response," I don't think China would look at a strike against NK as "Oh no but what if it's a strike against us secretly, let's start a nuclear war with America just to be sure."

China doesn't want to enter WWIII any more than the US does. And the US response to an NK attack is very predictable.

my thought too, if NK launched everyone would stand back and let the US extract its pound of flesh. However, I think any country who has every helped NK ( China, Russia, etc ) would be suffer in every way except militarily. Think being cutoff from US financial markets etc.
