Will China fully enforce global sanctions on North Korea and back tough new penalties? If not, will Trump accept the growing calls from Congress to start targeting Chinese companies that help Pyongyang access international markets, even if that puts U.S.-China ties under new strain? WASHINGTON — North Korea's launch of a longer-range missile shows advances in its technological capabilities and offers the sternest test yet of President Donald Trump's strategy to work with China to combat the threat. Will China fully enforce global sanctions on North Korea and back tough new penalties? If not, will Trump accept the growing calls from Congress to start targeting Chinese companies that help Pyongyang access international markets, even if that puts U.S.-China ties under new strain? The U.N. Security Council is set to discuss North Korea's latest provocation Tuesday. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley raised the possibility of a new set of global economic restrictions for the North, including on oil imports. France and Britain on Monday both publicly supported tougher sanctions. China is feeling increasingly alienated from its wayward North Korean ally and Sunday's headline-grabbing missile launch won't have helped matters. It came as Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted 30 world leaders for talks on trade and infrastructure. The test also immediately closed the space for maneuvering for U.S.-allied South Korea's new president, who favors engaging North Korea. But Trump and Xi may have the most at stake. Beijing is wary of piling on economic pressure that could cause North Korea's collapse, and it wasn't clear Monday if it would support new sanctions. Opposing the North's test, China's Foreign Ministry called on all sides to exercise restraint. China is the linchpin of Trump's strategy for halting North Korea's pursuit of a nuclear-tipped missile that could strike the U.S. mainland. Trump has feted Xi in hope of securing more pressure on the North, which counts on China for up to 90 percent of its trade. "We are calling on all those folks in the region, particularly China and Russia, to do everything they can in terms of sanctions to help resolve this situation and bring stability to the peninsula," White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters Monday. Trump also has flexed U.S. military muscle, though with little apparent effect in deterring North Korean leader Kim Jong Un from his rapid tempo of weapons tests. The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, which was ordered to the region last month, is still in the Sea of Japan, where the missile landed Sunday. U.S. defense officials said it landed about 60 miles from the Russian coast. Russia's Defense Ministry put it several hundred kilometers away from the east coast city of Vladivostok. More significant, however, was that it flew higher and for longer than previous missiles. U.S. experts said Sunday's launch was likely a mobile, two-stage, liquid-fueled missile that North Korea displayed in a huge April 15 military parade. It could have a range of 4,500 kilometers (about 2,800 miles), putting the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam easily within range. But the system might be adapted to provide it, in time, with an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the United States. At the U.N., Francois Delattre, France's ambassador, said Security Council members are preparing to impose new sanctions and strengthen enforcement of existing ones. British ambassador Matthew Rycroft backed the effort. North Korea is already subject to six resolutions aimed at restricting revenue and technology applicable to its nuclear and missile programs. They've failed to stop the North's progress, which includes five nuclear test explosions since 2006. If a new resolution is pursued, haggling between Washington and Moscow could take weeks, with Russia following China's lead. Alternatively, the council could choose instead to issue a condemnatory statement. The last set of sanctions, imposed in March, capped China's imports of North Korean coal, a key cash earner for North Korea. A possible next step would be to restrict Chinese exports of oil to the North. Meanwhile, the U.S. is studying possible sanctions against international companies that help the North evade restrictions — a step strongly supported in Congress. Primary targets would be banks and companies inside China, posing a dilemma for the Trump administration. Going forward with the "secondary sanctions" would anger Beijing, which views dialogue as the answer to the nuclear issue. Such sanctions are "blunt and unpredictable," Adam Szubin, a former top Treasury official for terrorism and financial crimes, told a Senate hearing last week. China won't be "strong-armed" into acting against its own interests, he said.

'उत्तर कोरियाली संकटका कारण युद्ध हुनसक्ने' अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको परमाणु र क्षेप्यास्त्र कार्यक्रमका कारण एउटा ठूलो द्वन्द्व निम्तनसक्ने चेतावनी पुन: दिएका छन्। उनले कूटनीतिक माध्यमबाट उत्तर कोरियासँगको विवादको हल गर्न चाहेको तर त्यसरी समाधान खोज्नु एकदमै कठीन भएको बताए। यसअघि अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री रेक्स टिलरसनले अर्को परमाणु क्षेप्यास्त्र परीक्षण गरे उत्तर कोरियाविरुद्ध प्रतिबन्ध लगाउने चेतावनी चीनले दिएको बताएका थिए। उता उत्तर कोरियाले अमेरिकामाथिको हमलाको परिकल्पना गर्दै एउटा प्रोपोगान्डा भिडियो सार्वजनिक गरेको छ। खतरा राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको परमाणु कार्यक्रम आफ्ना लागि सबैभन्दा ठूलो विश्वव्यापी चिन्ता भएको बताए। उनले कुटनीतिक रुपमा समाधान खोज्ने प्रयास गरिरहेको र चीनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि दबाब बढाइरहेको उल्लेख गरे। उत्तर कोरियामाथि थप प्रतिबन्ध लगाइने चिनियाँ राष्ट्रपति सि जिनपिङलाई एक जना असल व्यक्तिको रुपमा संज्ञा दिदैँ उनले आफ्नो अट्टेरी छिमेकी विरुद्ध दबाब बढाउन प्रयासहरु गरिरहेको उल्लेख गरे। अमेरिकाले चीनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि कडा प्रतिबन्धहरु लगाएर उसलाई वार्तामा आउन दबाब देओस् भन्ने चाहेको छ। त्यसबाहेक सैन्य समाधानको विकल्पबारे पनि विचार भइरहेको विवरणहरु आएका छन्। अमेरिका विरुद्ध आक्रमण गर्ने चेतावनी यसअघि फक्स न्युजसँगको कुराकानीमा अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री टिलरसनले चीनले आफ्नो छिमेकी उत्तर कोरियालाई अहिलेसम्मकै कडा चेतावनी दिएको खुलासा गरेका थिए। टक्कर उनका अनुसार चीनले किम जोङ उनलाई उनले थप परमाणु परीक्षण गराए बेइजिङ्ले आफैँ प्रतिबन्धहरु लगाउने तयारी गर्ने जानकारी दिएको छ। उत्तर कोरियाको झण्डै ८५ प्रतिशत व्यापार चीनसँग निर्भर छ। अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्रीले उत्तर कोरियाका युवा नेताले आफूले तर्कसंङ्गत निर्णय लिने क्षमता देखाएको भएपनि अमेरिकी गुप्तचर निकायहरुले संकलन गरेका विवरणले उनी क्रुर भएपनि मूर्ख नभएको पाइएको उल्लेख गरे। तर राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले किम जङ उनको क्षमताबारे आफ्नो कुनै धारणा नभएको प्रतिक्रिया दिएका छन्। उता बढ्दो कूटनीतिक दवावका माझ उत्तर कोरियाले एउटा 'प्रोपोगान्डा भिडियो' बनाएको छ जसमा अमेरिकामाथि हमला गरेको अवस्थाको परिकल्पना गरिएको छ। सो भिडियोमा उत्तर कोरियाली क्षेप्यास्त्रले वासिङ्टन डिसीस्थित क्यापिटोल हिल र ह्वाइट हाउस साथै अमेरिकी विमानहरु बस्ने नौ सेनाको पानीजहाजलाई निशाना बनाएको देखाइएको छ।
