And how fast did China replaced the border guards with PLA troops and shut the border tight? How fast did China cancelled three oil shipments? How fast did China demanded loans repayment? That's what happenned the last time.

For a nuke, it was a dud, not worth the effort. They could have done better damage with thermobarics.

It was far more than that. The Chinese lost of Face is unrecoverable. They've sheltered the NKs from collapse and gone to bat to prevent harm to their country to the point of putting them under the Chinese nuclear umbrella and promising that they will guarantee their national sovereignty and then, this slap in their face.
No one is saving KJI now. The question is how to manage his removal but make no mistake, the Chinese have determined that he shall be removed.
