I wonder when China will take action to stop North Korea. The latest North Korea nuclear test triggers a large explosion and caused part of China to experience earthquake-like tremors. If China continues to issue statement, sanction, and not taking tougher action, North Korea will have the nuclear ability to level off Beijing, and threatens the rest of Asia. I sure hope that China will take a very strong action against North Korea. Instead of fighting with Philippines and Japan over the South Sea or East China Sea territory, it should be prepared to display its powerful military force to terrified North Korea. North Korea has the ability to build nuclear weapons more powerful than atomic bombs if it continues with the testing.
What explains Beijing’s acquiescence to unprecedented sanctions at the UN Security Council?

I learned this news. But to my surprise, it seems that my country didn't take a strong action to it. But before that, my country did a strong action to South Korea. Some South Korean movie stars were banned here. Although I am not a fan of them, but it doesn't make a sense.

@scheng1 In fact I don't understand why my country has to be so kind to North Korea. Be sure I don't like their leader.

Except for protesting to the embassy, China sure does not seem to do a lot. I hope China does not support North Korea to develop more powerful nuclear weapon. It is very scary to think about it. The "fat boy" is very ambitious. I think he wants to prove that he is much better than his father.

@youless I also do not like their Fat Boy leader. His father was a much reasonable guy.

I hope China will do something that will keep The USA from having to do anything.

US cannot do much if China does not want to take action against North Korea. China is bordering North Korea, so any nuclear testing is worrying to China. US can only ask other countries to join in the sanction which does not work at all, because North Korea has no trade with other countries except China.

@jstory07 It is scary for everyone, not just for us in Asia. The earthquake in Japan a few years back caused nuclear fear in everyone because of the report that fishes were contaminated. Now North Korea is going way out to make nuclear weapons.

That fat boy is really ridiculous. Instead of making sure that the country prosper, he goes all the way out to anger China, and to make nuclear weapons.

In my opinion my country will not take strong measures to North Korea for own benefit.On the other hand,I think the impact of China on North Korea is not as big as you think.Personally,I do not like the dictator of North Korea.

China is losing more and more control over North Korea. If it continues to let North Korea carries on with nuclear weapon, sooner or later North Korea will attack China too. It needs many resources and it will not hesitate to use force.
