"China blocks Security Council on North Korea"

True enough, but what China does and says publicly can differ markedly from what they do and say privately. You can check out the below post to see what I mean.

I agree that it's far from clear what China's actions will be in this matter, but it is most definitely in their interest to prevent nuclear weapons on the peninsula. If they allow North Korea to keep their weapons South Korea, Taiwan and perhaps Japan could follow suit.

"...it seems nuclear power is the only thing that will deter the US from "preemptive" action."

Perhaps, but I'm not so sure I'd draw that conclusion just yet. I don't believe it is in USA's interest to allow a country which is actively exporting terrorism to obtain a nuclear weapon.

Winning this war against Hussein may encourage Iran to comply with the IAEA protocols.
