China's big fear is a unified Korea with the leadership being friendly and aligned with America.  What China doesn't want is another Taiwan but would rather Korea become more like Hong Kong allied with China.  I believe the thing is that both Russia and China fear a  unified Korea because they believe that a unified Korea would be allied with the US rather than being independent or allied with China, Russia and the US.  

I also believe that China's big thorn in their side remains Taiwan and they would like nothing better than bringing Taiwan into their fold and control and I fully believe that if anything is to be done with North Korea, with China's cooperation, then it might come at Taiwan's expense.

It's a crazy world in that old adversaries over time become allies and friends and friends at times become adversaries.  Case in point Vietnam which was highly aligned with Russia and China during the 60's when Vietnam was divided with the South aligned with the US and the North aligned with Russia but mostly China and today what with the way China is expanding into the sea Vietnam is at odds with China over their fishing territories and waters.  Also Vietnam is seeking to align and establish trade with the United States and establish a warm relationship.  Whereas Vietnam unified with a favorable relationship with China and Russia I think that China and Russia fear a unified Korea with close US ties thus the North is, for them, a necessary evil only one they cannot control so easily.
