It would violate China's the one over-riding feature ("non-interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign nations") that China has consistently held for decades.

China has long been for "non-interference" for quite logical reasons: they DO NOT WANT other nations trying to tell them how to run their own domestic business. (Think: all the Tienanmen Square criticism... all the foreign criticism over Tibet, etc.)

But --- if North Korea *itself* ever crosses that line and 'interferes' in the peaceable affairs of other sovereign nations... attacking somebody with missiles would CLEARLY be a gross and massive 'interference' :-( Then China would instantly fall away from it's policy of support for North Korea.

That is one of the 'games' that is being paid out right now: a huge propaganda battle to see who 'blinks first' and, by blinking first, loses international support.

Right now we, the US, are on the verge of winning.

Even if we just ISOLATE the North (from all sources of foreign aid and support and CREDIT), they will fail and fall *fast*... starving themselves out (a la' the Soviets)....
