No more money. China is the major issue here. They'll never be taken seriously on the world stage if they can't even check a poor, isolated neighboring ally.

It's on China to pay Kim not to threaten the world with nukes. Refugees and fallout will litter their soil for decades to come if there's a mistake by Kim.

DPRK is a blessing for China. Kim being a nuclear tyrant means ROK will exist where it is, and with its focus on DPRK. Should DPRK ever fall or reunify with ROK, China gets a US ally on its border, and a potential adversary that's no longer distracted by DPRK's antics. Same goes for Japan as well.
