Hypothesis: Should China sell J-8II H/F to N. Korea to replace gaining Fleet
Not reliable information but it is estimated N. Korea has as many as 260 mixed Fleet of A-5/F-6/Mig-17 Chinese variant/H-5/SU-7 [without mentioning further Types of Aircrafts]. Downsizing and a capable fleet is a better option at this point of time for N. Korea then putting older types in service endangering pilots and unnecessarily raising huge costs.
Capability wise these aircrafts are severely retarded and can only be used to drop dumb bombs and act as Kamikaze. It seems that J-8/F-8 variants such as H/F are reasonably capable [BVR capability] than any of these 4 types in service with N. Korea. At this time N. Korea need to have more capable aircrafts rather than keeping more numbers of obsolete aircraft as Air Force needs to reduce maintenance issues maintain different types of fleets in service thus to streamline and upgrade the Air Force is need of the hour.
Although China rejected to sell J-10As to N. Korea when Kim visited China but looking at current scenario a provocative Japan and S. Korea shopping spree of equipment, it seems imperative for China to sell some hardware to N. Koreans to upgrade their Air Force at least and help them streamline their Air Force as much as possible. J-8IIH/F is a decent interceptor platform for N. Korea it is a step up from the obsolete vintage aircrafts in service.
Although we do not know the real budget and the money N. Koreans have to pay for anything but most likely most sales to N. Korea by China are aid and short-medium loans. Is China able to supply 5-6 squadrons or [80-96] of these J-8IIH/F Aircraft. Price/Cost would be the main factor should China arrange $800m-$900m and should there be any other detail in which China gets something to gain from N.K possible some economic deals.
This a hypothetical I am not advocating that China must sell equipment for War but from the perspective of modernization and upgrades to an ageing air force of N.K, US has been doing for ages thus it is fair for China to provide assistance. Thus it makes sense to replace all 4 Types with a single Type until Kim II comes to senses and focus more on economy.

China won't send any fighter planes to N. Korea.

If they did, chances are that China would send the oldest planes, or the planes that don't really have any good capabilities.
 
. . . .
Any reason China should support NK?
North Korea is a evil country ruled under dictatorship, we will reinforce our relationship with South Korea in the coming years. Kim just works himself into crazy like hell.

My RIP to Jang Sung-taek.

China won't sell any tyoe if fighter jets to North Korea. What if KIM uses those fighters to attack South Korea with Nuclear bomb? This man is crazy, China had laid down laws forbidding selling destruction weapon to North Korea(including fighters).

Kim shall go to hell immediately, or China will deal with him someday in the future.

In past it was reasonable to support NK, it acted as a buffer. But its better now for China to strangle the leadership of NK.

He even try to murder his stepbrother Kim Jong-nam to secure his brutal lead.

His grandfather Kim Il-sung is also a motherfucker who digged out PLA volunteers' grave to flatter his Soviet daddy.

To North Korea, no friendship anymore from China.

Al though i don't like USA, but China won't help a heartless dictator in any way.

Don't forget the fact that North Korean propaganda tells the North Korean people that the Korean People's Army single-handedly fought against the UN, when China bailed their *** and pushed the UN all the way back to South Korea.

First read: "This is hypothetical I am not advocating that China must sell equipment for War but from the perspective of modernization and upgrades to an ageing air force of N.K."

As you said in the past, but now DPRK became a pain in the a** even for China. In reality China has better tiers with ROK than DPRK now.

China can't do it, even if it wanted to. I agree with you, but I think that the U.S. and China might have some kind of deal under "the table". As long as China doesn't sell anything to North Korea, the U.S. won't sell anything significant to Taipei either. Aside from the Apaches and a couple of Patriot systems, the U.S. hasn't sold anything particular to Taipei for the past few years.
