Hmmm, that seems entirely possible.
That might be a reason they don't give him an open slapping or declare their discontent with NK's behaviour. Because it might show they lost control as well.
This whole thing might be part of the settling of the internal power structures in NK and its Gov/Military after the change of the 'Boss'. Probably the wisest reaction is to largely ignore it and at the same time put some friendly pressure on China knowing that even their influence might be limited to some extent at the moment.
