The question is pointless. Of course the United States would win the war. China would not even be a factor in such a war. The United States owes countless billions to China, not to mention we are by far their largest trading partner. They need us more than we need them. All America has to do is say "Screw you China, we are paying you back one cent" and China would be forced to sit this one out, lest bankrupt their entire nation.
Even in a non nuclear conflict, America would prevail and the North Korean army would be eliminated, most of them with not even seeing the face of their killers due to the advanced technological ware fare devices of the U.S. military and vast resources of the United States.
Even if the war did turn nuclear, you have to look at when and where. The Korean Peninsula is small. It's about the size of the U.S. state of Florida, so if the North bombed Seoul, for example, where is the fallout going to go? Because of the geography of the area, this would affect several nations, depending on prevailing winds and weather, most likely China, Japan, Russia including North Korea itself. Do you honestly think China and Russia will tolerate radiation over their real estate? You're a fool if you do.
Another thing to consider is that North Korea doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting an ICBM (which they don't even have one at this point) to the U.S. mainland. America has had more than 50 years to prepare for and counteract a large scale missile attack against their mainland during the cold war. Why do you think the former USSR and USA stock piled several thousand ICBMs when only a fraction of them were needed to destroy the entire globe? It's because we knew that the majority of the missiles wouldn't make it through due to each country's counter measures. America has a vast network of early detection and anti missile defenses spread throughout and around the country.
It takes years to produce these ICBM's and even if North Korea were able to launch a dozen or more, the chances of even one getting through are pretty slim.
North Korea's leader is a madman. That's why he should be taken seriously, because madmen are unpredictable and just crazy enough to think they CAN win a war of this nature. The reality would be the probable extinction of the Korean people as a whole which would be a war where nobody wins but the Korean governments, their race and way of life would be eradicated.
So there's your answer. America and the rest of the world would go on, but Korea would cease to exist in a nuclear conflict.
In a conventional war, North Korea would be sitting ducks in a full scale allied attack and invasion. Their military bases, installations, and infrastructure would be taken out within a few weeks. Once that is gone, surrender would be without question.
