China will continue to protect North Korea until the rest of the world makes it unbearably unprofitable (financially or otherwise) to do so.

“It’s a classic move,” said John Delury, an associate professor at Yonsei University in Seoul.

Looking more like a classic mistake. Along with getting involved in a land war in Asia and "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

Blah, blah, blah. Action speaks louder than words. China has no intentions of doing anything about NK, not until the fallout blows west to Beijing.

What exactly do you expect China to do? China has repeatedly call on Kim to abide by UN resolutions and he refused. Also, did you read the following part of the article?

"While its patience has been stretched to the limit by Pyongyang’s refusal to curb its nuclear ambitions, China’s overriding concern is a collapse of Kim Jong-Un’s regime and the possibility of a U.S.-allied unified Korea on its border."

A collapse of Kim's government could see millions of starving North Koreans rushing into Chinese and South Korean territories. Are you going to help fund the feeding and clothing of these people? Even mighty Germany is having second thoughts about taking in all the refugees it's been getting.

Or a collapse of Kim's government could see a unified Korea and focus on improving the Northern region? The funding that was originally given to NK to help their people could actually be distributed properly to them as was originally intended?

Yes, it would. One with allied with the US. One with US military bases.

Now, ask yourself, what self-respective competitor to US power would want that?
