I think it's a question of if China topples him overtly or covertly.
My magic eight ball says if they stick somebody in to replace him rather than taking over outright then they'll probably try to succeed him and venerate him, but not as much as KJI or KIS got. If they march in and "save" the people from the DPRK government then he'll be made the scapegoat for everything.
