I'm sure they do - it's the military's job to be prepared for all eventualities.
But I highly doubt they have reached any agreement with China about any such plan. The Chinese already understands they have such plans - just as they themselves do. It's however not something you discuss with anyone else then possibly close allies.
IF the US where ever to put such a plan in effect, they might give the Chinese a short-time heads up if the plan involved visible troop movements - just to not scare them into thinking some offensive move against them where in the making.
But not even that is certain.
China and North Korea are pretty tight and I don't think the US trusts China to not pass the information on to North Korea and nor should they.
