Yes if this comes to a vote in the Security Council it could be a pivotal moment for the PRC, does it support the DPRK, or does it side with the rest of the world? Or does it abstain? I would bet on the later.
The UNSC could authorize "Korea Pt. II" The reason the last time the UN autherized action against the North was that the USSR was boycotting the UN and the Chinese delegation was from the ROC (Taiwan).
FWI: UNSC resoutions can be vetoed by one of the 5 permanent members even if the other 9 members vote in favor. Also two non-permanent members could vote no and cause the measure to fail. Realistic only the PRC or Russia would use a Veto in this situation.
The current Non-Permanet Members are:
Bosnia, Gabon, Nigeria, Brazil, Lebanon.
I don't know what their politics would place them in this situation.
