I second oh_sigh's view on this matter. As FP notes, http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/04/26/kim-jong-un-is-a-survivo..., they are doing what they doing to survive.

annex what? I don't think China's interested in maintaining a peaceful region, as much as they are scared of losing control of their country and desperately trying to keep their country in one piece, having witnessed the fall outs from the collapse of the Soviet.

I agree. They don't want to lose power, if anything they want to expand it. We can call it "survival mode", but I don't think their desperation can be solved by diplomacy. So what is the solution? More diplomacy? More failed agreements? More broken promises?

China is very interested in a peaceful region. They have demonstrated very little interest in belligerence outside their claimed territory and a great deal of interest in stable export markets that give them trade advantages.
