What the chinese want desperately to avoid most is a refugee problem coming from NK into Chinese territory.
As far as the Chinese are concerned with unification, a unified Korea may mean better business for Chinese exports. At worst, it would mean greater competition from Korean manufacturers, not that the Chinese are having their own problems with factories closing up and moving to vietnam because (SURPRISE!!) it's cheaper and easier to manufacture the same products in vietnam than to do the same in China.
Likewise, having another unification war would prove more beneficial to China in the long run. Who would really notice a few hundred spies mixed in with the refugees that are forced back onto former NK territory after the unification? This makes it easier for Chinese intelligence to steal technology secrets from the U.S. adn SK government and better allow the Chinese to gauge SK battle capabilities for future conflicts. Not to mention the CHinese would no longer need to worry about controlling a now worthless pet, Kimmy Wong.
The Chinese have alot to gain from unification.
