As I see it Chinese neutrality about a conflict between North Korea and either South Korea, Japan, or the United States would be like throwing North Korea to the wolves.
Firing a missile over another country's territory is itself an act of war even if a military response to such may be unwise.
Do you have a reference on China saying they would oppose an American first strike? Or does that just mean "oppose diplomatically" without military opposition?
