When your fighting a war on a small continent where most things can be placed in long range artillary range within a couple of days you don't need nukes, if you have a 1 million chemical weapons shells you can pretty much destroy a contry and reclaim the infastructure after the fact.
The quandy is that the American's treat all weapons of mass destruction as on. So chemical, Biological and nuclear are the same in the eyes of any defense treaty with South Korea, and since America has gone out of the offensive chemical and biological warfare game the only logical response is nuclear.
While I don't see China fighting on North Korea's side, there will be a trigger point for Chinese involvement, but I think that they will more then likely drop paratroopers into a declared DMZ and act as peace keepers while they gut the NK government.
