Seems Zhang Liangui of Central Party School expects a North Korean war.

"In Global Times, Zhang Liangui, a North Korea expert at the Communist Party's Central Party School, foresees a "70- 80% likelihood of war breaking out on the Korean Peninsula", and believes that North Korea's aim is reunification with the South by armed force."

Although we have another Chinese individual stating that NK is a basket case.

"Cai Jian, deputy director of the Centre for Korean Studies at Shanghai's Fudan University, disagrees and tells Global Times that a large-scale military conflict is unlikely to break out because North Korea's threats are largely just psychological warfare against the US and South Korea."

The "State of the World" color for NK is still yellow so I am thinking the second view point is correct.
