Things may be lining up for some major ugliness very soon. Iran and Israel, N and S Korea... and then there's their backers, the USA, Russia and China.
North Korea has little international support. I think if there is a war the only reason we'll be talking about Chinese troops crossing the Yalu River is because they will be trying to force a swift and decisive halt to any aggression taken by North Korea and to insure Korean reunification happens on terms that are favorable to it.
As it concerns Iran the most likely scenario seems to be something that is either clearly caused by Israel or the U.S. or something ambiguous. In that scenario I doubt China will likely complain and nothing more, while Russia will strongly back its allies Syria and Iran, though not necessarily with direct military force.
