I would have to agree with this summation.
No world power, regardless of who they are, including China & Russia, would allow the North Korean "surpreme leader" of stupendous stupidity to jeopardize the global economy where finances is the sole driving force for thus far ensuring commerce and such to continue to flow unimpeded under the guise of "peace".
No-one.
South Korea serves as a major strategic ally for all nations that carry the label "world power" because they provide a large number of necessities to the world at large, even to China & Russia.
So what you'll find, as you're slowly finding out, is that China & Russia themselves are going to start using sanctions and whatever other means to prevent any interruption in the global finance market as a whole.
This particular region in the world, unlike other regions like Syria for example, must remain stabilized for reasons that primarily deal in the global economy.
North Korea itself serves no other purpose to China or Russia other than as an ally who offers no beneficial return on what is provided to North Korea excepting a single thing, a common ally that still values Communist governance.
That and that alone is the single reason China or Russia continue to "ally" with North Korea.
