The Chinese haven't fought a land engagement since the 1979 War with Vietnam which was not a clear win for either side as I recall. Other than bullying smaller states like the Philippines and Vietnam in the South China Sea, Chinese has little recent experience of warfare. I can understand why they would be concerned about the condition of their forces.
I don't see any engagement on the Peninsula that doesn't result in thousands or even millions of dead Koreans. Worst case a fallout cloud spreads to Japan and across the Pacific. I've lived for a long time without seeing a nuclear exchange; I don't want to see one now.
