I fail to see the connection between the Chinese owning dogs, and keeping a strict policy on number of pets, and Korea. South or North.
So....

I expect that rather than simply burying Kim Jong Un out of hand, what will actually happen in the event of an assault on South Korea, by the DPRK, is that any reaction the Chinese have to it will be based on the outcome. If any such assault is successful, then the Chinese are not likely to take any serious or firm action at all, although they would probably condemn the action publicly.
If however the assault was to fail, and result in significant loss of resources on the part of DPRK, and by extension the Chinese, then you can bet that the Chinese would react with extreme and terminal fury. They have an awful lot, strategically, riding on the DPRK.

Is the word "it", in the phrase "bury it alive", meant to refer to N. Korea or S. Korea?

The movements of a mechanical unit at least the size of a brigade were spotted in the city of Yanji, China, in the autonomous region of Yanbian bordering North Korea.

What does china want more of right now? They have good relations with SK and bad relations with th eNK currently. the SK provides them with goods and services,the NK nothing but a drain on them. IF kims daddy was still alive they would had sided with th eNK's but His son is a dummy who insults them.

China increasingly looks westward, they act as mediator between NK and the US, in fact there are regular agreed tripartite talks between NK, SK and China, and Xi actually visited SK before NK a year or so ago, and I think China is increasingly embarrassed by NK's shenanigans.
China needs it's trade, the northwest is still pretty primitive, and generally 55% of the whole population is rural.
Changes in the South are more dramatic as more place become urbanised economies. The urbanites would not likely want to give up their new standards of living either to go back to the old kind of warring communism. Those days are done.

I just assumed he had read the picture he embedded wrong ...
it reads 'If China's dog bites, China will bury it alive' .... but look at what its superimposed on .. a map, and the pointer for 'south korea', lines up well with the end of the first line, to make it appear as 'If Chinas dog bites South Korea '
If the OP did read that picture wrong, it may have sent him off on a tangent that wasnt there
and then after he sees his mistake .. he is cringing too much now, to come back in and face us ..
come on back in mate .... we all make mistakes all the time

The stamp is North Korean issue, whoever made the collage just overlaid it onto a map. If the collage was made in North Korea, then it must be propaganda against South Korea, as if to say 'our mates the Chinese will sort out South Korea'..which I very much doubt. Basically this is nothing from China.
