The US wants to solve Iran together with Russia and Israel, so it can then focus on China and north Korea.
China knows this obviously that's why xi just gave Kim a blank cheque saying "whatever happens, China got your back"

This goes back to what I stated here more than 2 years ago:

North Korea has 60+nukes. If only one makes it through the missile defence on the Us west coast, we will immediately and irreversibly live in a Chinese century. Neither Russia nor India nor Europe could catch up fast enough without the US which would see tens of trillions in losses over the decades it needs to rebuilt. Remember it's not just the trillions of economic output of california alone (2tn/yr) but much of the tech and AI experts are there. Without US AI, China will dominate this most crucial technology, and no one will be able to catch up in the next 50 years. Also much of this multi trillion dollar business will be taken by China.

It must be worth really 1-2 trillion to Xi if Kim were able to fire back. He just need to arrange for the right circumstances. Telling him (Kim) that he (Xi ) would protect him (as he did) is just part of the game. This nuclear Mexican standoff (USA north Korea Iran ) is very very very tempting for China as long as they can stand outside and are just the guy cheering on.
Putin will look at this and see the madness. Xi is a f'ing idiot who has almost single handedly ruined china's really good chances at their 2025 goals. ..He will not follow Xi. He is not impressed at all by Xi's performance. Give Putin the resources Xi has and he'd rule the world 10 times over
