^^ This. China does one thing only: What is good for China. Screwing us over in trade is a whole lot more profitable than shooting at us, so don't look for Chinese armies on the Korean Penninsula anytime soon.

Besides, to entertain the doomsday scenario, if China were to fight a war with the US it would almost certainly be over Taiwan, not Korea.
