That Kim had him offed, I'd think China would have wished they had guarded their investment a little better, as the assassination demonstrates their need was quite real and significantly impaired now.
China's actual insurance is that it would take a matter of weeks for their forces near the border to overrun the DPRK. It'd be quicker only for the fact that transport infrastructure in the country is fucked.
