South Korea and the People's Republic of China agree on the desirability of a nuclear-free Korean peninsula. South Korea does not allow the US to put nuclear weapons in its territory. I am sure that Japan and Russia would go along with that in the event that the North Korean regime should be overthrown.
So far as I can tell, North Korea has about as much to fear from China as from the USA. It wouldn't take much. You can be sure that the Chinese already have a shadow government ready to take over in North Korea in the event that it should be compelled to invade North Korea. (also for South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand....) Missiles overflying China with a destination in the USA? That, technically, is an act of war against China (and Russia, and likely also Canada). South Korea is a big t4rading partner of the People's Republic of China and has made large investments.
Don't mess with the Panda.
