Actually, it's doubtful China would back North Korea. Especially if North Korea, and not the U.S., was to start something. China doesn't really view North Korea as it's communist brother, more like some fucked up cousin that they don't want to be bothered with. Even the first time around China didn't get involved until we got too close to their border, it wasn't so much about helping North Korea as it was keeping us away from themselves.

Anyhow, a lot is different now than it was back then. They are just as concerned about North Korea as we are. China has one of, if not the, fastest growing economy in the world and is really starting to prosper. Theyv'e got a good thing going now and don't want anything like a war in the region to screw it up.
