Chinas military might is, itself, very much in our own interest, particularly in that it reduces the level of military expenditure and adventurism required to enforce the primacy of our -mutual- interests.
I get it, the Gibbon and the R-Traitors have been telling you "Jina Bad", because they need a villain to keep you yanking the lever - but that doesn't make it so. On the balance of both history and current events..it; difficult to come up with a more important and co-committed ally to the US than China (and vv), even if China may not be a friend to all of our -other- allies, even if it may be a competitor. NK is useful as a bulwark and throwaway flak for China, but that utility ends as soon as NK steps out of line.
Indeed, and China has already signalled to NoKor that their patience is running thin.
