Pence puts North Korea on notice not to test U.S. resolve, citing Syria strike

The US has next to no leverage with China

The most naive comment I've red in a week, and that's saying a lot, this is Reddit.

  • The Chinese government already has met one of the top demands by the White House which was to stop coal shipments. It's been significantly reduced already within the past week.

  • Flights between China and North Korea have halted, google search Air China - you might learn a thing or two.

  • The Chinese government has already expressed willingness to push things further, including greater sanctions.

  • Even the bridge connecting the two countries has come to a trickle, as has the trade on the river itself.

So where the fuck are you getting your information from where the US has next to no leverage with China? They build giant man made islands over the US threat yet you act like US is nothing, US is China's greatest threat in every sense of the word and they even showed incredible concern over a war breaking out at any moment. Them, the Chinese you say the US has such little leverage over.
