China backed off in Korea when they learned atomic weapons had been moved to Japan & were ready to deploy to Korea on 48 hours notice.
Actually, there is little evidence they ever even noticed the movement of those weapons. It seems the death of Stalin played a bigger role in ending the Korean War then the threat of US nukes.
4000+ pound concrete 'Shapes' were dropped over North Korea as test runs
The shapes were suspiciously like the current Mk IV bomb
One can excuse the Japanese for not knowing the significance of the 509th dropping 'Pumpkins' over Japan. DPRK, not as much.
Especially since it was no secret on the new bomb pits for loading nukes were being dug
