It's enough to kill tens of millions of people, and I doubt that even the Americans are going to risk that. Besides, another Korean War ould be devastating to most of the world. China and America would be going up against each other, which would do huge damage to world economies, and probably suck in Russia as well. The risks are too great for either side to contemplate (I hope)...
I call bull****. What reason would China have to side with NK?
None. They have economic ties to the rest of the world, practically no other ties than the LOL COMMISM factor* with NK and don't risk a complete nuclear destuction over a little country (though more insane things have been seen, but during those times no nation had capability to kill the entire population of a planet in less than 24 hours). China is also pretty pissed off at NK at this time, they no longer give them adamant support and prefer US relationships over them so far.
And I pretty much say no one want's to invade NK, but if DPRK decides to nuke someone else than themselves they will get invaded.
*which is also quite BS in itself, as NK is avowedly juche and insane and dirt-poor and surrounded by A) US army B) Japanese army C) ROK army and D) everyone else, while China's economy is doing pretty well under their weird pseudo-communistic libertopia.
