When I said Shock and Awe, I was being facetious. I'm sure a missile strike on some suspected nuke sites would be sufficient. And China can't enjoy having a rogue state on their doorstep either. I would imagine the State dept. could let them know up front that we were going to respond. Then, after we (or more likely SK) do what we have to do, China gets to come out and offer the usual protests, but it doesn't go any further. NK does not want a war, they just want to continually threaten war in order to continue receiving what amounts to ransom twice or more a year.
