There is little I would like better, but I doubt China would allow it to be that simple.

As noted in response to Tom, I doubt they CAN, not without conceding America remains at least as much the dominant East Asian force as they do, a completely untenable position for them. Even if they wanted to (which, against the historical background, would be tantamount to reinitiating the Open Door Policy,) a generation of demonizing US imperialism and glorifying Chinese nationalism may mean the Chinese PEOPLE would not tolerate that.

Again? Didn't they "tear up the armistice" a few years ago?

They said they were "no longer obligated" after the second nuke test, and would resist attacks.

Not to diminish the role of China in this but you're bypassing the actual issue

Seoul isn't the only urban location, refering to it simply saves time

Well, but one would assume that after an initial salvo the South Koreans would counterstrike.

Tactical question: Better by daylight to aid evacuation, or night to avoid detection?

Daylight, hands down I think

No, I meant daylight to aid evacuation or night to prevent detecting an attack.

Night favors us tactically, but it wouldn't keep the attack secret

You do realize you are massively exaggerating on the subject of China, yes?

Evidently not, but then, this war never truly ended; it was just postponed to a later date.
