China semi-appreciates NK being a thorn in our side. Though they too are getting worn down by Jong-Il's act...and might be in favor of supporting a coup which would probably lead to new leadership under the same sort of system they are in now. Also, Jong-Il's want to forgo older son's in favor of putting his third son as the successor. This as well could ruffle feathers and lead to a potential coup.
If they go ape****, China can't really have their back and the international community would have the reasoning to end the regime.
Though in the end, it's not that big a deal. Jong-Il's game is out there, he rattles the saber and we are slowly realizing we shouldn't come answering with concessions every time he does.
Fun fact: They've got the 5th largest military in the world.
Fun fact #2: Iraq had the 4th largest in 1991. Big load of good it did them. So lol at Jong-Il still.

China doesn't appreciate Kim Jong Il anymore than we do. his anti-humanitarian policies have contributed to an enormous exodus of North Koreans across the river Tumen. and the economic burden of these migrants is something which the PRC wants to contain. if that could be achieved by deposing Kim Jong Il i'm sure the PRC would have no problems with it.
