So what is helpful? Being nice to China certainly hasn't worked over the years. I find it hard to believe the Chinese couldn't get rid of this guy if they wanted to.
I guess the big question is: get rid of this guy
how? Targeted assassination? Extreme political pressure?
North Korea is composed of a rather large number of near-starving workers. Anything that might upset the status quo might result in an influx of refugees into China, something the chinese might be hesitant to have happen.
Add to that the fact that North Korea is extremely militarized and its unknown how they would react to loosing dear leader, the risk being they might become beligerant. Granted, much of their military is very outdated, but it could still make life miserable for a few hours until their forces are taken out.

Xi then patiently explained Chinese-Korean history to Trump — who then promptly changed his mind. “After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy,” the president told the Journal. “I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power [over] North Korea. ... But it’s not what you would think.”
