Tell me what China gains by letting the DPRK continue along it's current path?

Gain: Not having to break the pact the two made about mutual, eternal friendship and military support, an eternal pact up for reconsiderations around 2021.

Other than that, Dim Kim is unwise to ignore the possibility that there are military plans for decomissioning renegade allied, stored in a file cabinet somewhere in a Beijing basement.
