There is at least one or two more cards to play. The NORK’s have done a lot of business with Iran, the number one state sponsor of terrorism and various mischief on the world stage. I think we should establish a naval blockade to narrow down the NORK’s suppliers to land transported goods to China and Russia and expose these two countries as being the main suppliers of a rogue regime and let them try to explain why they are assisting potential nuclear war escalation. Another play would be to trade our opposition to Chinese dominance in the South China Sea for decisive Chinese pressure on N. Korea.

That is more or less how the game has to be played. Create multiple pressure points, and force China to give up N. Korea in return for relieving pressure on other fronts. This game needs to be played on a bigger scale on multiple fronts: S. China sea, India, Taiwan, and even Vietnam. On top of that, there should be stiff economic pressure as well as the possibility of China's neighbor going nuclear.
