Yes, but are they doing that, preparing to help, or hurt?
You never know until the bullets start flying. China, after all, is still a Communist Country.
I served over a year in ROK 85-86. Any combat there is not going to be pleasant in any way shape or form. The South is prepared for a war, every mountain range is dug in, with roads going in at the base, and gun ports opening up out of the sides of the mountain. Every bridge is wired and ready to be blown. Every overpass is also wired. Every choke point has overpasses full of concrete and steel, waiting to come down on the roads. There will be no easy passage to Seoul, except by Arty. I spent time on GP Collier (spent my honeymoon in Bunker #5 with Fredricks... it was a blast.)
When this goes down, it is not going to be quick or easy. It's going to be bad. I feel for my relatives in SK now. I personally hope things will calm down, but with this little man syndrome Un has... He's going to rattle his little sabre off, then launch an attack. We would be neglect if we discount his ramblings. Remember the Boy Scouts... Be Prepared. All of NK is living in the 50s, and most have that way of thinking. When they do strike, and I think they will, I hope we hit them hard. Really, really hard.
But... there again is China...
