My point being that everything that happened in the 90s has led to where we are today - there is nothing in the Chinese political trajectory that is vastly different than back then that would result in forming an alliance with the US. The supposition in the v1/v2 timeline seems fallacious in hindsight - they would be more likely to maintain an uneasy truce rather than fight over Manchuria.
While I agree that a US-DPRK is very remote, I think China-US is too. People forget that China's dealings with the US since the time of Mao have been them playing the long game for one purpose only - Chinese communist world domination.
