I guess China could carpet-nuke NK if they ever got tired of aiding them.

But then North Korea nukes Seoul, Shanghai, and Tokyo.

Nuclear war has no winners.

Seoul, definitely. I would be mildly surprised if it actually managed to hit Shanghai or Tokyo. North Korean military hardware is not known for it's quality.

On the upside, North Korea isn't suicidal, and it's not like China was going to stop giving them aid anyway, so it probably makes little practical difference anyway.

Much more likely is they just engineer a coup and quietly shoot Der Leader.
