Members of the United Nations Security Council are considering new sanctions for North Korea in reaction to its sixth and most powerful nuclear test. However, experts say the support of China is critical to increase pressure on the government of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Thursday, the U.N. Security Council should respond further and take necessary measures. But, Wang said sanctions and pressure must be tied to dialogue and negotiations. China has said that increased restrictions will not ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula. U.S. President Donald Trump spoke to Chinese President Xi Jinping about North Korea on Wednesday. Trump said Xi agreed on the need to answer North Korea’s nuclear test, saying he does not want to see what is happening there either.
