Such action should be directed at the driver of this crisis: China and its continuing and increased support of North Korea. Instead, Beijing revealed in April that its trade with North Korea increased 37 percent in the first quarter of 2017. To stop these programs, China must halt or substantially cut back its trade and aid to North Korea. The United States should enact with an international coalition a new series of tough measures against North Korea that also pressure China to use its leverage with North Korea. The United States would be sending China a clear message: the status quo with North Korea is unacceptable.
