As long as everyone in positions of power is having an exchange of money there is no chance of your situation playing out like that.

China wouldn't defend North Korea, but they have made it very clear they are not willing to have an American-allied Korea sharing a border with them.
If it looked like the US was about to completely roll over NK and then establish a United Korea, or US friendly NK regime, the Chinese would send hundreds and hundreds of thousands of troops over the border.
It is something they have already done once, against a nuclear-armed US.
