I believe China and Russia both see North Korea as a drag on their economic and diplomatic goals, so there is little or no enthusiasm to support that regime, especially in a war. I think Chinese/Russian impatience with North Korea will result in a behind-the-scenes tripartite (USA,China,Russia) plan to overturn the NK government and create a unified Korea. The question is: What concessions and demands will each make to conclude an agreement?
