China Fed North Korea’s Nuclear Aggression, And Now China Needs To Help Deal With It Naturally, everyone assumes that Kim Jong-Un’s aggression targets the United States. What we have missed is that the other real target of Kim’s aggression is China. By Helen Raleigh
September 5, 2017 Less than two weeks ago, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson praised Kim Jong-Un for having “demonstrated some level of restraint that we’ve not seen in the past.” As if determined to prove Tillerson wrong, Pyongyang first fired an intercontinental ballistic missile over Japan. Then on Sunday, September 3, Kim gave the order to detonate what he claimed to be a hydrogen bomb (H-bomb) that could be attached to a missile capable of reaching the mainland United States.
Whether North Korea successfully tested an H-bomb is yet to be verified. But early indicators show the nuclear device that Pyongyang tested was much more powerful than anything it tested before. Chinese media reported that the test “triggered a 6.3-magnitude quake followed by a 4.6-magnitude tremor, and was felt throughout northeastern China.”
Sunday’s was North Korea’s sixth nuclear test, but the first since Trump became president. Naturally, everyone assumes that Kim Jong-Un’s aggression targets the United States, so everyone is asking what the U.S. response should be. What we have missed is that the other real target of Kim’s aggression is China.
