To Trump, when he says; "make a heavy move", it means he want China to grab N. Korea by the pussy

(3,427 posts)And it turns out that in this case, Trump didn't lie! China actually did report that its trade with North Korea grew 37.4% in the 1st quarter (from the same period in 2016).
He is, however, very late in reacting...this information came out almost two months ago.

(779 posts)This man, who said he was the great deal maker and negotiator, also the tough guy is nothing but a cowardly sham, he tweets from afar, riles everyone up, the whines that someone else should have done something.Everything he messes up is someone else at fault. In the meantime he spends most of his time golfing and letting his kids run the show, when will republicans wake up, perhaps they know it and don't care about the country.
This monster is going to start a nuclear war!

(37,453 posts)BEIJING Amid sharply rising tensions over North Koreas nuclear arms program, China said on Thursday that its trade with the country had expanded, even though it had complied with United Nations sanctions and stopped buying North Korean coal, a major source of hard currency for Pyongyang.>
<But imports of coal dropped 51.6 percent in the first three months of 2017 compared with the first quarter of last year, said Huang Songping, a spokesman for the customs agency. Coal has been the biggest hard-currency earner among North Koreas fairly limited menu of exports.
China agreed to stiffer United Nations sanctions last November, after the United States said Beijings coal purchases were helping to pay for the Norths nuclear weapons program. The coal, used in Chinas steel mills, earns the North about a billion dollars a year, according to economists.>
<Its hard to ban normal trade that is not prohibited by U.N. resolutions, said Yang Xiyu, a former Chinese diplomat who led Chinas delegation to the so-called six-party talks on the Norths nuclear arms development in the mid-2000s.>
