Recent missile tests point to advancements by North Korea in developing a missile that could reach the continental US. China will support further UN action if it helps restart dialogue with North Korea, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday. The proposal, which also calls for freezing Kim’s assets, has been sent to the 15 members of the Security Council, the diplomat said. He declined to say if he’d accept a nuclear-armed North Korea that can be successfully deterred from using such weapons. Philippine Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano told reporters in Manila on Friday his country was ready to cut trade ties to North Korea.
