Is this your take on 1950s Korea?
SK and Japan are aligned with US and there isn't any animosity (beyond historical grudge level) between the two, given they're allies now and all.
Chinese and Russia basically want nothing to do with NK beyond stopping the US and SK taking over, via reunification or new ruling class. I'd imagine their ideal result is regime change while maintaining the ruling gov't, while easing into the 20th century (yes 20th). Hence why the first set of santions approved by China and Russia was when NK was getting close enough to insanity where military action was possible (which would result in SK/US potentially taking over) and they wanted to avoid that point.
