#1 Ethnic Koreans are one of the 55 minority races recognized by the PRC.

#2 I suspect their primary duty involves acting as translators for the regular PRC, who would quickly move to occupy Nork, secure its nuclear facilities, and stop its high command from doing anything reckless.

#3 I don't think that China wants the role of stabilizing and rebuilding North Korea any more than the South does. I see these divisions as primarily designed to 1) seize the Nork's nuke facilities, and 2) control the border to keep 24 million North Koreans from flooding into China. Forcing the South to handle the North would be in China's best interest, as it would reduce the pressure from Korean productivity, ease the pressure of political refugees into China, and disrupt the South's military for 10-20 years. I doubt China will continue to support the constant drain on its resources necessary to prop up the North forever. It would be much better to "allow" the South to take control of the North, and be forced to divert 90% of its government funding to rebuilding, instead of continuing to build a strong and prosperous South.
