China has in the past been a key supporter of the North Korean communist regime, but that support may be dying out. After voting at the United Nations to approve sanctions on the isolated communist state, the Chinese leadership has recently signaled its plans to enforce these sanctions.
President Donald Trump spoke with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Sept. 18, and, according to a White House readout, “the two leaders committed to maximizing pressure on North Korea through vigorous enforcement of United Nations Security Council resolutions.”
