China will intervene to protect North Korea's nukes from getting into the wrong hands.

For the safety of the world.

God forbid if Al-Qaeda was able to get their hands on a nuclear weapon during NK collapse.

ROK Army will not enter North Korea without US approval because US has War-time control over ROK Army's military command.

Since US has War-time control over ROK Army command, US is literally in the driver seat when she drives across the DMZ towards Pyongyang in the event of a collapse.

China is more likely to intervene to prop up the NK Regime to stop Nuclear weapons from getting out of hands because an unstable NK is a terrorist paradise.

If China intervenes in the event of NK collapse to prop up the government and prevent nukes from getting into the wrong hands, the world will accept it. It wouldn't be a land grab,.

If the North Korean government collapses the South Koreans would be the ones with moral authority not the Chinese since the South Koreans would be considered the legitimate government of a unified Korean peninsula. It is still in the ROK constitution that they are the legitimate government of the entire peninsula.

The Chinese would have no moral authority by moving in if the South Koreans are prepared to do so. If the Chinese moved in it would clearly be a land grab. That is why it is imperative that the ROK Army is prepared to move in after any regime collapse. There is little chance the Chinese would wage war with the ROK Army if there are no US troops in North Korea.

Nice idea, but wrong. Don't forget North Korea and South Korea are still technically at war. Any crossing of the border by the south( should the north show signs of collapsing) could be considered an act of war by both North Korea or even China. China has the upper hand in case the North should collapse. South Korea could not just barge in as the norths savior, that has been why China has remained for so long as the Norths friendly neighbor. To do so would risk war with China with little moral authority.
