Bloomberg: China Confident Sanctions Can Block North Korea Nuclear Push
* Measure aims to cut $1 billion a year from Pyongyang’s exports
* Trump’s security adviser says ‘preventive’ war an option
China expressed confidence that new United Nations sanctions would help bring North Korea to the negotiating table to end its push for nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-ho to calmly react to measures to curb its exports and avoid more provocations when they met on Sunday in Manila, where diplomats from more than 20 countries are attending a security forum. Wang also called for the U.S. and South Korea to reduce tensions.
“The goal is to effectively block the DPRK’s nuclear development process,” Wang told reporters. “Sanctions are needed but not the ultimate goal. The purpose is to pull the peninsula nuclear issue back to the negotiating table, and to seek a final solution.”

Might prevent/postpone US military action while slightly bandaging US/Chinese relations... however.
North Korea is going to feel slighted by the Chinese and view this "support" as a betrayal and sign of weakness.
Wars have been started for less than repeatedly testing a nations resolve. Could the ICBM tests begin hurtling in a northern direction now?... possibly.
If you think the new sanctions will prevent or significantly slow down the North Korean nuclear missile program, you're either not quite right up there or you work for China. This is such BS. The Chinese are hoping the US won't invade north Korea and are hoping north Korea succeeds in nuking a major US city - ideally SF. It's what the Chinese wet dreams are made of. In another post you ask who is the world's dominant economic power. The Chinese hate - hate (!) - that question. They want to be what the US was in this century and next. To them, the US is the arch enemy. And north Korea is the guarantee to enter a Chinese century. Don't be fooled. This is a game to the death hidden behind a smile.
I agree anon... Also I would not be surprised if China somehow covertly finds a way to fill the void of trade caused by sanctions and make a huge profit.
China is ______ on us and calling it rain.
