To add to Zraver's insights,
The PLA's idea of a joint force is a schedule. Each branch got a specific area within a specific time limit and has to leave after that time limit is up regardless if they achieved their OPOBJs or not.
There is no such thing as CAS and if PLAAF planes flies beneath a certain height, they are fair game for Chinese AD gunners.
The PLA believes in Battles of Annhilation but not the full massive slug outs that you see in the movies. They like something like a division against a battalion. They are not an infantry army but an artillery army. They love their artillery and almost all their manouvers is to try to bring their artillery to bear.
However, this being said, the military is not the force of choice to collapse KJI. As indicated before, both Beijing and Seoul can get rid of KJI by doing absolutely nothing.
The NK nuke tests brought that straight home to KJI. There's a limit to which he can push the Chinese and the Chinese shown it to him. All my reading suggests that the Chinese has had enough of that clown and has started closing down the illegal activities and bringing the border to a full check.
