WASHINGTON—In the aftermath of last week’s nuclear test by North Korea—allegedly of a hydrogen bomb—experts suggest the time is now for the United States to apply overwhelming pressure on China so as to force it into giving up the rough Kim regime and put an end to its seemingly-endless provocations and aggression.
Dan Blumenthal, director of Asian Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, said on Tuesday that it is possible for the United States and China to reach an agreement over the future of the Korean Peninsula, provided that United States “makes China feel so much pain over its relationship with North Korea” so that China would eventually give up its support for the totalitarian Kim Jong-un regime.
