They've got real leverage over NoKor (over half the food aid and nearly all the oil comes via the Chinese Border) and this nuclear situation directly affects them (NoKor nukes can mean counterpart SoKor, Japanese or even Taiwanese nukes, setting off a new Arms Race that would be bad for them). Yet all they've done so far is support (half-heartedly even, based on their actions the past few days) a bunch of sanctions that are practically useless against a depraved NoKor anyway.
Are they that naive... or are they really supporting (behind the scenes) Kim Jong ill's nuclear program and they are only putting on a farce diplomatic show?

Just look at George Bush complaining about the illegal Mexicans in the U.S. China feels the same way, but the Mexicans aren't eating treebark and grass to stay alive. Afganistan has more wealth than North Korea. There would be no real regime change. It would be a massive baby sitting job worse than Iraq (less bombs, but require much more goods, services and money forever since North Korea's economy is weapon, illegal drugs and counterfiet money).

China is too busy doing their own thing. North Korea has beef with America and not them. So, they're going to let America take care of this problem. Besides, the Chinese probably think, or know, that Kim Jung Il is bluffing.

China is an old ally of North Korea. Although it was irritated by the North Korean nuclear tests, it cannot do anything because of their old friendship.

China has never pretended to have America's interests at heart.
Why should they start now?
North Korea is no threat to China.

Because they are China and they expect, as does the rest of the world, for the US to handle. Then if it isn't handle correctly, they can blame the US.
