I would guess that if stuff were to fly that China would suddenly have an outpouring of "Volunteers" who just happen to own their own equipment
I'm not sure that this is the whole issue though. What the Chinese don't want is North Korea to basically collapse and millions of starving, needy people to flood into China from North Korea. This would create all kinds of chaos for China that they don't really want to deal with either. That border is already well patrolled and guarded because they don't want those people there either!
