There is probably no alliance on earth tighter than the U.S. and the U.K.

If that's not an alliance, then you might as well say that alliances don't exist anywhere. (And maybe that is what you mean to say.)

Even the alliance with Israel can't compete with the alliance between the US and UK from World War I to now.

I'd argue North Korea & China have a closer relationship.

That's less of an alliance and more of a dependance.

They do not. China sometimes — though not always — endorses and enforces Security Council sanctions against North Korea, and acts as a moderating force in its contacts with North Korean leadership. Substantial differences of opinion between the U.S. and the U.K., not to mention actual policy antagonism, is very rare.
