I don't know. If NK has a functional nuclear weapon. And it can be artillary fired. China might be limited in terms of influencing.
When you look at these nations that crumble, its usually a small faction of the military that seizes power then convinces the rest of the military to back the winner.
I kind of wonder if China would be interested in absorbing North Korea, they'd get access to some good mineral rights, however they would also have to feed and clothe a entire nation.
