With President Trump placing his faith in China's ability to keep its neighbor under control - through threats, promises, or oil embargoes - it appears, according to unconfirmed rumors spreading widely on Chinese social media Tuesday, that North Korea just got its final warning. As Korea Times reports, Chinese news outlets have previously said Beijing could turn its back on Pyongyang if the latter conducted a sixth nuclear test. But the rumor that China has given North Korea a final warning has drawn particular interest from Weibo users.
The rumor cited the May issue of Hong Kong monthly news outlet Dong Xiang. It said a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs junior minister invited Park Myung-ho, an official of North Korea, for a meeting. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the meeting and asked his junior to read aloud the warning to the North over the nuclear test.
The memorandum mentioned that China will condemn strongly, pull back on all economic cooperation and even blockade North Korea if it conducted the test. A Chinese netizen said: "Maybe the bond between the nations is not that strong as we thought. North Korea is completely surrounded by enemies now." The Chinese government did not provide any explanation or correction to the rumor, but this follows reports of China's embassy warning citizens in North Korea to "return home" as fears grow of escalation with the US.
If this report is accurate coming out of China, then it now looks like China is fully ready to act on North Korea should they conduct a sixth nuclear test by cutting all economic trade with North Korea. Taking out North Korea economically should North Korea conduct it's sixth nuclear test sounds like the best option to break North Korea and Kim Jong Un, and with that it would be easy to break crazy socialist North Korea through economics since their nation is so dependent on China to survive.
This option that China is presenting to cut off all economic help to North Korea looks to be the best option that President Trump should allow China to try, instead of a preemptive military strike of any kind...For if North Korea does conduct it's sixth nuclear test it looks like China has the bright idea to turn North Korea into a third world environment.
