I think this pretty much nails it. Actually, I was imagining that there was
still enough relationship left between PRC and NK for the Chinese to say,
"Uh, a nuclear test would not be a good idea", meaning (in Chinese speak),
"No way you're gonna do that". I'm sure the Chinese at this point regard
their relationship with NK as baggage, though I know the Chinese do
re-patriate NK refugees, so they're at least maintaining pretenses.
