Just to be clear, there is a good argument to be made for intervention in Burma (there has been for years). That said if it happens, it should be done by a wide reaching coalition. No one nation should be left to bear the cost and the political brunt of the freeing a nation.
As for China, I don't think it would be a good idea for China to invade. Rather, I am suggesting that China use it's diplomatic strength to work on the Junta. Before you dismiss this, China's power is both economic (they are one of the few nations still trading with Burma) and political. If China's wind shifts against the junta in combination from pressure from ASEAN, the EU and US, it could rip any economic survivability out from under the Junta.
This sort of dictatorship cannot survive without money. Those who continue to trade with Burma (and Roachboy is correct, check the labels on your gap clothes) are supporting this regime.
